Her research centers on Health Literacy and Patient-Family Education Systems, with significant contributions to substance abuse contexts through the RUFA research group. She investigates how health information must be individualized based on patients' health competence levels, emphasizing cultural and cognitive accessibility in medical communication. Her methodology prioritizes qualitative thematic analysis to identify systemic barriers in patient education.
Analysis of her 2023-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on nursing communication frameworks where health information adaptation directly impacts patient outcomes. Her work demonstrates how standardized medical materials fail diverse populations, requiring dynamic tailoring through clinician-patient collaboration. Key trends include integrating family dynamics into health literacy models and developing competence-based assessment tools for clinical settings.
She actively contributes to the RUFA research group (Substance Abuse, Family and Close Others), examining how substance abuse affects family health communication patterns and designing family-centered intervention protocols. This work involves interdisciplinary collaboration with clinical psychologists and public health specialists to develop trauma-informed education materials.
