Cristina Moreno Mulet

Dr. Cristina Moreno Mulet serves as a Tenured Contract Senior Lecturer in the Department of Nursing and Physiotherapy at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), maintaining continuous academic affiliation since 2001 with formal lecturer status since 2017. She teaches undergraduate courses including Ethics and Health Legislation, Historical and Professional Bases of Nursing, and Nursing in Adults across Majorca, Ibiza, and Minorca campuses, while leading postgraduate instruction in Critical Research in Health and Ethical Conflicts in Organisations for the Master's Degree in Health Research and Innovation.

Her educational qualifications comprise:

• Registered Nurse (1995)
• Master of Philosophy in Ethics (2010)
• PhD in Philosophy (Ethics) from UIB (2016), with doctoral thesis 'Ethical conflicts and resistance actions: Mallorca's primary care professionals in the face of cuts in the public health system' supervised by Dr. Joaquín Valdivielso Navarro and Dr. Margalida Miró Bonet

Dr. Moreno's research program critically examines ethical conflicts, resistance practices among healthcare professionals, and austerity impacts on public health systems through qualitative and mixed-methods frameworks. Her scholarship interrogates power structures in nursing practice and healthcare policy, emphasizing social justice and professional autonomy within resource-constrained environments.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) reveals dominant themes in social determinants of health (prediabetes management, homelessness), pandemic impacts on healthcare systems, and theoretical applications of Foucault's resistance concepts to nursing ethics. Methodologically, 87% employ mixed or qualitative approaches addressing vulnerable populations across Spanish contexts, with consistent focus on ethical dimensions of clinical practice and health policy.

Her research funding includes:

• Co-researcher for 'Analysis of care policies for dependency and equality' (Carlos III Health Institute, 2012-2014, €20,484.09)
• Co-researcher for 'Promotion of family care in intensive care units' (Carlos III Health Institute, 2007-2009, €24,200)

Dr. Moreno actively contributes to institutional governance as member of the Nursing College of the Balearic Islands Ethics Committee (since 2011) and the Balearic Islands Research Ethics Committee (since 2019). She participates in the consolidated Research Group 'Care, chronicity and evidence in health' (CurES) at IdISBa and collaborates with UIB's 'Global Health and Human Development' research group, maintaining connections to the former Critical Health Research Group (GICS-IUNICS).
