Rosalynn Austin

Rosalynn Austin is a Researcher at the University of Stavanger, affiliated with the Department of Public Health within the Faculty of Health Sciences. She holds a PhD from the University of Southampton, where her doctoral research explored the interaction between chronic heart failure symptoms and treatment burden. Her current role involves postdoctoral research on the eHealth hospital-to-home project, focusing on digital health interventions and patient experiences in heart failure care.

Her research interests center on optimizing healthcare services for patients with chronic illnesses, particularly heart failure, with an emphasis on reducing treatment burden through digital solutions. Key areas include eHealth feasibility studies, patient self-care, and healthcare service evaluation. She has contributed to protocols for randomized controlled trials and scoping reviews analyzing heart failure management strategies in the UK and beyond.

Her publications reflect a focus on chronic disease management, mHealth applications, and clinical care pathways. Collaborations include projects on medication reviews for chronic kidney disease and dietary behavior change interventions. She has also engaged in academic initiatives like the BANCC forum to support cardiac nursing research skills.

Notably, her work evaluates recruitment strategies in clinical trials and explores models to inform clinician-patient interactions in chronic heart failure. She maintains a dual residence in the UK and Norway, reflecting her transnational research collaborations.
