Maria Hrozanova
About
Research
I am a postdoc at the Department of Public Health and Nursing. Here, I am a project leader in a multicentre, pragmatic randomized controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of group-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia in primary care. I am also involved in other ongoing randomized controlled trials on treating insomnia among patients with musculoskeletal pain. In addition, I am a member of ALDES, an interdisciplinary research group with projects on learning and development among Norwegian adolescents, where I mainly focus on adolescent sleep.
Research interests:
- Non-pharmacological treatment of sleep disorders
- Sleep technology
- Sleep and mental health in adolescents
- Influence of stress load on recovery and sleep
- Sleep in adults with disabilities
Research communication
I am passionate about science communication, as the field of sleep medicine exists at an intersection of multiple clinical and scientific domains, involving a variety of public user groups. I work with digital tools to visualize and simplify complex scientific concepts, and to facilitate accessibility for various stakeholders. In my position as a digital editor at the European Sleep Research Association, I contribute to the publishing of the weekly Sleep Science Friday newsletter. I engage in public speaking, and regularly contribute conceptual illustrations to grant proposals, scientific publications, social media posts and other newsletters.
On the significance of storytelling:
“We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.” - Jonathan Gottschall
Examples of my work:
- Factsheet: Insomnia and brain stimulation, perioperative care and sleep apnea
- Infographics: Alzheimers disease and sleep, recovery during the menstrual cycle, sex differences in social jetlag, rodent sleep scoring
- Conceptual figures: RCT in tertiary care
- Posters for recruitment: Group-delivered sleep course, sleep app
Competencies
Research
Non-pharmacological treatment of sleep problems in primary care
This study investigates the effectiveness of group-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for irnsomnia (sleep course "Sov godt") on insomnia severity among adults with insomnia symptoms.
Digital insomnia treatment for patients with musculoskeletal pain in primary care
This study investigates the effectiveness of digital insomnia treatment delivered via an app as an add-on to usual physiotherapy for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and comorbid insomnia.
Digital insomnia treatment for patients with musculoskeletal pain in rehabilitation
This study investigates the effectiveness of digital insomnia treatment delivered via an app as an add-on to usual care for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and comorbid insomnia attending inpatient multimodal pain rehabilitation.
