Her research focuses on Migration and Health, especially on communication through interpreters investigated from different perspectives: the individuals, healthcare staff and families, using different qualitative and quantitative data collection methods: individual and focus group interviews, reviews of official documents, qualitative systematic reviews and self-administered questionnaires. Further, she uses different qualitative and quantitative methods for data analysis in her research.Katarina Hjelm, is a professor in Nursing Science.

Her dissertation concerned migration, health and diabetes and led to two main areas of research: 1) Migration and health and 2) Chronic disease management, particularly diabetes mellitus and chronic leg ulcers, but also COPD, stroke and IBD. International comparative studies have been implemented and thus international health is a third area of research. She has a particular interest in studying the influence on health-related behavior of beliefs about health and illness in migrants of different origin and other aspects of communication in health care, e.g. use of interpreters. Migration and health is her central area of research.Christina Lundin is a lecturer in Nursing Science.
