个人简介
Across my whole career as occupational therapist in practice and research three things have been important for me.
First, scientific research has so far neglected the evaluation of complex interventions and services. Compared with the evaluation of simple interventions (e.g., pharmacological interventions), it is even more difficult to obtain funding for projects that focus on the realistic impact evaluation of complex interventions and services. Complex interventions, such as occupational therapy or interprofessional interventions or services, have components that interact in different ways (e.g., behaviour, groups at different organisational levels, different outcomes, high flexibility), which are challenges to overcome. I have contributed significantly to research by capturing the perspectives of people with disabilities and/or chronic conditions (e.g., Strub et al., 2021), and to research assessing the realistic impact of complex interventions (e.g., Gantschnig et al., 2017) and services (e.g., Egger et al., 2022) for people with disabilities and/or chronic conditions. This is not only reflected in the above mentioned scientific publication, but also in the various funding agencies that have funded my projects. To date, I have been the principal investigator (PI) on 14 scientific projects. Two of the larger projects were funded by the Federal Office for the Equality of People with Disabilities (Bern, CH).
Secondly, throughout my career as an occupational therapist working in practice and research, I consider my interprofessional collaboration in national and international projects and networks to be one of my major achievements. The development, implementation, and evaluation of targeted interventions and services for people with disabilities and/or chronic conditions has always been a collaborative effort between health professionals and researchers, but not always on an equal footing among professionals, including individuals with disabilities and/or chronic conditions (Gantschnig, 2019). In my role as PI, I have significantly and continuously contributed to the equal involvement of different professions and people with disabilities and/or chronic conditions in my projects. Interprofessional projects make up two thirds of my projects (e.g., Friedli et al., 2022; Klamroth-Marganska et al., 2021). Interprofessional research projects require research skills and high social competence of members of different professions, a common basic attitude towards equality, an interprofessional setting, support and strengthening by the leadership and instruments of research and junior staff development for interprofessional projects. To that end, in 2017, the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS) awarded me a prize in interprofessional research. Furthermore, I am involved in interprofessional decision-making bodies and in a broad national and international network. I am a member of the Senate of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences [SAMS] as a delegate of the FKG Health Conference of the Universities of Applied Sciences in Switzerland and as a representative of health professionals. I am a member of the Review Board of the International Journal of Health Professions IJHP, a grant reviewer for Sparkling Science, an occupational therapy-Europe expert representative for the EFIC Pain Research Strategy working group, and an active member of the Swiss and World Associations of Occupational Therapists (ErgotherapeutInnen Verband Schweiz [EVS]), World Federation of Occupational Therapists [WFOT]).
Last but not least, through my efforts I am promoting the establishment of occupational therapy as a science in an interprofessional context. In 2014, at the age of 38, I became the first occupational therapist in Switzerland to obtain a doctorate in occupational therapy and a pioneer in this field (Kranz, 2015). In my role as head of R&D, I have continuously developed projects and created conditions to facilitate the careers of young researchers. In this regard, my greatest success and joy is the supervision of my doctoral and master students in the fields of occupational therapy (e.g., Ballmer et al., 2019), physiotherapy (e.g., Haffter & Schütz, 2023) and clinical social work (Friedli, 2022). The Teaching Award for "Teaching Science”, 2017 is an endorsement of advancing the science of occupational therapy through training the next generation of researchers in the European Master of Science Occupational Therapy Programme.
