Women’s Well-being

The area of women’s well-being aims to empower improved well-being in women with different health conditions.

The studies aim to improve the physical, psychosocial, and quality of life of women with various female health conditions, such as breast cancer undergoing surgery, midterm abortion and menopause, through multidisciplinary intervention programmes based on needs assessment. One of the examples include the development of an innovative mobile app-based psychosocial intervention for women undergoing breast cancer surgery.
