The research group Family-Centred Health (FamCeH) conducts interdisciplinary projects focusing on the psychosocial health of children, youth, and parents/adults, as well as the design and effects of professional and social support. Researchers in the group primarily come from the fields of nursing, public health, social psychology, reproductive, perinatal, and sexual health, as well as health sciences. The group members particiapte in various national and international research networks.
The aim is to promote the health of children, youth and families in the digitalized society. Health and sustainable development in the digitalized society rest on evidence-based knowledge by paying regard to and critically examining areas of tension in relation to core concepts such as integrity, participation, security and autonomy.
Digitalization affects all structures in society, including health processes in children, youth and families. In order to achieve sustainable development, the contexts of these groups deserve attention in relation to living conditions and socioeconomic circumstances. Efforts to promote health through the identification of key resources contribute to the aims of FamCeH. Search results are to be practically applicable and support the development of long-term equality and sustainability. The research basis is human interaction in relation to technology and digitalization.
Family-Centred Health (FamCeH) was formerly named Woman, Child, Youth and Family (WomFam).
