Research Interests

Dr. Solberg Nes’ research currently focuses on the development and efficacy testing of digital interventions for patients with a variety of medical conditions. For example, two of her largest current projects are focusing on designing, developing and testing the eHealth supported programs StressProffen, a stress-management intervention program for patients with cancer, and EPIO, a self-management intervention program for people living with chronic pain. Another ongoing project, eCHANGE, examines the potential for an eHealth intervention program to support people with obesity in long-term weight maintenance following weight loss.

Solberg Nes’ research also examines the psychological and physiological impact of self-regulation, that is, people’s ability to exercise control and guide or alter reactions and behavior. For example, she has been examining the psychological and physiological impact of self-regulatory deficits in cancer and chronic multi-symptom related illnesses. Other research interests include quality of life, coping, adherence, personality and individual differences, as well as health behaviors.

Clinical Interests

A PhD clinical psychologist by training, Dr. Solberg Nes’ interests center around supporting patients faced with a wide variety of acute or chronic medical illnesses. Her clinical services have included direct delivery of psychological assessment, intervention, treatment and consultation/consultation-liaison services. Areas of special interest include adjustment to and coping with chronic illness, including chronic pain, cancer diagnoses/treatment, transplantation (blood/marrow and solid organ) challenges, bariatric and obesity issues (including pre/post-surgery), orofacial pain, spinal cord injuries, women’s health, effect of illness on family members and caregivers, and end of life or palliative care issues. She is also interested in challenges surrounding health behavior change, stress-management, adherence, rehabilitation and sleep.
