Nanna Maria Hammer

Nanna Maria Hammer serves as a Postdoc in the Department of Public Health within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on vulnerable populations through two primary lenses: pediatric cancer bereavement and chronic inflammatory joint diseases.

Her work spans pediatric palliative care (examining end-of-life preferences, grandparent caregiving roles, and cross-border clinical trial access) and rheumatology (analyzing gender-specific coping strategies in arthritis patients). Recent publications demonstrate methodological diversity including nationwide cohort studies, systematic reviews, and qualitative analyses of family-professional interactions.

Hammer's research outputs reveal strong collaboration networks across Nordic healthcare institutions, particularly with Rigshospitalet and Danish Cancer Society researchers. Her 2023 systematic review on home-based pediatric palliative care has garnered significant attention with 67 Mendeley readers and policy citations.

Her advising activities focus on supporting bereaved families through evidence-based interventions, while her methodological expertise spans population-based cohort studies, qualitative case analyses, and cross-sectional survey design.

Current projects examine work-related consequences of childhood cancer death and intersectoral collaboration challenges in end-of-life care, indicating her commitment to translating research into improved healthcare systems for vulnerable populations.
