    Research interests

     I am interested in research on health promotion and prevention work (children and adolescents 0-20 years).

    I did my doctoral thesis that was action research on visual methods in health dialogue within the school health services.

    I have ongoing research within educational research in public health nursing and the ethical foundational phenomena of public health nursing.

    I collaborate with Lublin University on sustainability in public health nursing and school nursing education.

    I am also interested in research themes such as resilience, empowerment, and salutogenesis.

    Teaching

    I have extensive teaching experience in various subjects within the master's programme in health nursing.

    I have a special interest in communication, health dialogue, and guidance pedagogy.

    I also teach within the fields of science theory and qualitative research methods.
