Marie Jönsson

Marie Jönsson serves as a University Lecturer in Nursing with specialization in medicine and is a doctoral student in nursing science at Kristianstad University's Department of Nursing Education and Integrated Health Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences. She acts as doctoral student representative on the Committee for Postgraduate Education and contributes to The Health in Collaboration research platform.

Her research centers on person-centered care and leadership within residential care for older adults, employing qualitative methodologies including focus groups and content analysis. She investigates perspectives of registered nurses and first-line managers to address evolving care needs and develop improved person-centered models in residential facilities.

Recent publications (2024-2025) consistently examine leadership dynamics in elderly care through qualitative lenses, revealing critical insights into implementation barriers and facilitators across professional roles. These works advance nursing science by connecting leadership practices with care quality outcomes in gerontological settings.

No formal scientific awards are documented, though her research has achieved an h-index of 2 with citations tracked through Scopus.

As a doctoral student in the PERLE study (2020-2026), she investigates person-centered care in special housing while supervising five academic works, likely including master's theses on nursing leadership topics. Her grant involvement centers on this longitudinal research project examining care models for older residents.

She actively participates in The Health in Collaboration research platform, which drives interdisciplinary initiatives focused on collaborative care models and nursing practice innovation in Swedish healthcare contexts.
