Description of the academic, research and / or professional profile

After six years as a nurse at the Hospital de Sant Pau in Barcelona, ​​I began my research career in 1994 at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (USA), as a lecturer in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics and certified as a Childbirth Educator. During this period, I participated in projects oriented to the community needs of the Hispanic population, which marked the beginning of a line of research with a strong social and community component.

Upon returning to Spain (1997), I joined the Hospital de Sant Pau Research Foundation as a researcher, in a European project on autonomy and privacy in nursing care (5th PM). Subsequently, I developed an academic and research stage at the International University of Catalonia (UIC), where for eleven years I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Humanities and Doctorate in Medicine, while leading competitive projects (FIS-ISCIII) and establishing national and international research networks.

I currently coordinate the Research Group on Chronicity Care and Health Innovation (GRACIS), recognized by the AGAUR (SGR 944 and SGR 01604, €40.000), a multidisciplinary group focused on aging, chronicity and health innovation. This structure has facilitated the consolidation of an applied research program, with impact on public policies and professional practice.

My research is structured around three main lines:

Aging and chronicity: I have led studies on quality of life, integrated care and care models focused on the elderly and patients with chronic diseases. Projects on unwanted loneliness, informal care and active aging stand out, including the study “The feminization of loneliness in the elderly” (Ministry of Science and Innovation, €100.600).

Innovation in health and health education: with a focus on the digitalisation of learning and educational transformation, I have led European projects such as I-BOX (Erasmus+, €248.000) and 4D in the Digitalisation of Learning in Practice Placement (€370.000), with the participation of five countries. These projects promote active methodologies, simulation and digital practices in the training of health professionals.

Autonomy and ethics in healthcare: since the first European projects in which I participated (5th and 7th FP), I have maintained a line of interest in the ethical and legal aspects of care, contributing to reflection and research in relation to respect for patients' rights and shared decision-making.

I have been accredited as a University Professor (ANECA) and with advanced research accreditation (AQU). Since 2019, I have held the category of University Professor by competition at my institution. I have three six-year research periods recognized by the AQU and four five-year teaching periods.

I play an active role in research management and evaluation, as an expert evaluator of projects for the Carlos III Health Institute, ANECA, ANEP and the European Commission (COST). I collaborate with several journals as a reviewer and am part of the editorial board of Nursing in the 21st Century. Since 2010 I have been a Fellow of the European Academy of Nursing Science (EANS), an entity that I chaired between 2018 and 2022 within the international Udine-C Network.
