The theme for the Astrid Janzon symposium 2021 was “Ethical issues in healthcare”. When the need for care is explosively greater than the care resources, which we live through in the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, timeless ethical issues about priorities in care and nursing come are very actual.

During the symposium, Emma Säfström (last years receiver stipendium) gave a great presentation on continuity of care after hospitalization due to cardiac condition.

Charlotte Sahlén Helmer from Linköping University received this years’ stipendium for her research in preventing stress and support interaction between preterm infants and their parents.
