معرفی
Ida Gustafsson serves as a university lecturer at the Department of Care Sciences within the Academy of Care, Working Life and Welfare at the University of Borås, a role she has held since autumn 2017 while concurrently pursuing doctoral studies in Health Sciences (Sexual and Reproductive Health specialization) since January 2021.
Her research critically examines breastfeeding as an existential phenomenon in contexts of intimate partner violence, positioning it within caring science frameworks. Drawing from her clinical experience in gynecology, maternity wards, and breastfeeding clinics, she integrates practical midwifery insights into academic discourse. Media coverage includes a 2022 Jordemodern article and University of Borås news highlighting her work on women's narratives regarding breastfeeding amid violence exposure, noting global statistics where one in three women experiences relationship-based physical/sexual violence.
As a lecturer, she actively teaches midwifery and nursing students, though specific advisees are unlisted. Her scholarly output is archived in DiVA (Digital Scientific Archive), but no grants, awards, or detailed publication metrics appear in the source material. Supervision for her doctoral thesis is provided by Lina Palmer (main supervisor) with assistant supervisors Katarina Karlsson and Aleksandra Jarling.
