Christina Hernandez Engelhart

Christina Hernandez Engelhart serves as Assistant Professor and Head of Studies for Area of Responsibility 1 at the Department of Nursing and Health Promotion, Faculty of Health Sciences, Oslo Metropolitan University. Her research focuses on fetal monitoring during labor in low-risk pregnancies through the LISTEN project.

Her primary research interests include fetal monitoring reliability, obstetric methodology, and midwifery practice. She investigates interrater agreement in fetal heart rate assessment and the use of traditional tools like the Pinard stethoscope, with emphasis on improving clinical guidelines and midwifery education in Norwegian maternity care.

Recent publications (2022-2024) demonstrate consistent focus on reliability studies in intrapartum fetal monitoring, combining statistical methodology with clinical obstetrics. Her work bridges medical research and practical applications, particularly in low-risk pregnancy management and evidence-based midwifery techniques.

Dr. Engelhart leads the LISTEN research project and collaborates with researchers including Ellen Blix, Pål Øian, and Aase Serine Devold Pay. While specific grant details aren't provided, her active research portfolio indicates ongoing funding support for fetal monitoring studies in Norwegian healthcare settings.
