This PhD project is an action research project that explores how fictional texts can be used as a pedagogical tool in public health nursing education. This study is a further development of a PhD project focusing on how to use fiction literature in health dialogues in upper secondary schools (Fjelldal et al., 2024).

Fiction literature can be used in dialogues and this initiative enriches young people’s emotional understanding and empathy and can provide a practical framework to support young people's mental health and well-being.

This project is a part of Arctic Youth | Forskningssenter for barn og unge i Arktis Workpackage 4.
