Helena Johansson serves as an Adjunct University Lecturer within the Department of Nursing and Reproductive Health (ORH) at Linköping University's Faculty of Medicine, operating under the Department of Health, Medicine and Care (HMV). Her academic role centers on nursing education and research addressing chronic respiratory conditions, with direct contact via helena.johansson@liu.se and phone 013-286810.
Her research program critically examines Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) through the dual lenses of patient symptom burden and caregiver strain. Employing mixed-methods approaches and systematic reviews, she investigates how severe COPD disrupts daily life for affected individuals and their next of kin, identifying coping strategies and support system gaps. This work bridges clinical nursing practice with psychosocial care frameworks to improve chronic illness management.
Analysis of her 2019-2025 publications reveals consistent methodological rigor across qualitative, mixed-methods, and integrative review formats, with recurring collaboration among nursing researchers Carina Berterö, Lise-Lotte Jonasson, and Katarina Berg. The corpus demonstrates escalating focus on caregiver perspectives alongside patient experiences, highlighting interdisciplinary connections between pulmonary medicine, nursing science, and family systems theory.
No information is available regarding graduate student supervision, research grants, or laboratory affiliations. Her scholarly contributions remain concentrated on publishing empirical findings rather than award recognition or team leadership structures.
