Research interests

Fegran is a member of the research group Health and Quality of Life in a Family Perspective (HEIFA) at the Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences. Ongoing research projects are focused on pediatric palliative care, neglect, pain, sleep, psychosocial health and quality of life in children and adolescents, as well as sexual health in cancer survivors from patient, family member, and nursing perspectives. Additionally, she participates in the research group Patient Transfer and Transition (PRANSIT) with collaborators from Denmark and Sweden. PRANSIT focuses on systematic litterature reviews of patient transfers for different groups and in different contexts, within a Transitions Theories perspective. Methodological expertise primarily lies in qualitative research, systematic reviews, feasibility and intervention studies, and several projects incorporate technological solutions (e-health) as a central component.
