Biography

Peter Johansson is a Professor at Linköping University, specializing in the Department of Nursing and Reproductive Health. His research focuses on chronic illness, mental health, and the development of digital support treatment programs. He has initiated a research group called Group Digital Health Care, which aims to create and evaluate digital treatment solutions tailored for patients suffering from chronic somatic diseases, including heart disease. By utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy techniques adapted to the context of the participants' specific conditions, the group seeks to alleviate mental health issues associated with chronic illnesses. Johansson's work also encompasses supporting informal caregivers of patients, addressing their significant burdens and stress levels. In addition to his research on digital health interventions, he has conducted a project testing the efficacy of classical massage as a stress-reduction technique among healthcare personnel, with promising preliminary results showing that monthly massage sessions can positively impact their perceived work capacity. Future studies aim to conduct controlled evaluations of mindfulness and massage interventions based on healthcare personnel's preferences.
