Research

Marie Matérne's research focuses on individuals with disabilities from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Her projects include:

  • Studying individuals who have suffered from strokes and examining aspects of quality of life and resilience. Results indicate that stroke survivors may not accept their disabilities but adapt their lives accordingly. Healthcare counselors play a crucial role in rehabilitation.
  • Initiating a project on rehabilitation for women with traumatic brain injuries in collaboration with researchers in Sydney, Australia.
  • Exploring "Water Dance," a combination of water therapy and floor dancing, for individuals with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD), which demonstrates how interaction and activity are promoted among the target group through this method.
  • Ensuring the quality of care for individuals with PIMD. Two ongoing projects within this area are: 1) exploring experiences from a caregiver's perspective, and 2) developing an instrument to measure quality of care.
  • Conducting an interview study on how the work environment is affected for interpreters working with Swedish Sign Language remotely compared to on-site interpretation.
  • Investigating the theories used in dissertations within healthcare by doctoral-level social workers and how they are applied.

Marie is collaborating with national and international researchers.
