Tove Bylund Grenklo, senior lecturer and researcher in caring science, has carried out a comprehensive research project targeting over 600 young adults who lost a parent to cancer when between 13 and 16 years old. In a survey, the participants responded to questions somewhere between six and nine years after their loss. So far, the project has generated around 10 publications and will soon result in two doctoral dissertations pursuing issues like self-harm behavior, trust in health care services, advice to health care providers, and the importance of family cohesion.
