Anna Bjärtå is an Associate Professor (Academic title) and Senior Lecturer (Professional title) at Mid Sweden University’s Department of Psychology and Social Work, based in Östersund. Her research specializes in refugee mental health, trauma interventions, psychological distress measurement, and cross-cultural emotion processing. She leads projects including AMIR-Intervention, CoRe (Cognitive Load and Trauma Reconsolidation), and SUPpORT (Swedish Unaccompanied Youth Refugee Trial), focusing on scalable mental health solutions for displaced populations.
Her recent work (2019-2024) examines:
- Refugee trauma screening tools and grief comorbidities
- COVID-19’s mental health impact in Sweden
- Suicidal ideation in asylum seekers
- Cross-cultural pain perception and fear processing
- Bilingualism’s effect on emotional experiences
She collaborates extensively on multinational studies validating psychological instruments and interventions, though no awards or student advisories are documented. Current grants emphasize refugee mental health integration and trauma recovery protocols.
