My thesis work is entitled: Health and well-being in older adults living with dementia - Social participation, loneliness and Feasibility of a multidimensional, interdisciplinary team rehabilitation program
The overall aim of this thesis was to develop knowledge related to social participation, loneliness and mental health among older adults living with dementia and to evaluate the feasibility of a person-centered multidimensional, interdisciplinary rehabilitation program
My research is based on two research projects: Umeå 85 + / GERDA and MIDRED.
Umeå 85 + / GERDA is a longitudinal population-based cohort study that aims to increase knowledge of health, quality of life, and living conditions of very old people from Västerbotten, Sweden and Österbotten, Finland.
MIDRED is a randomised controlled pilot study, wich contained a person-centered multidimensional interdisciplinary rehabilitation program for the person with dementia, including education and support to the primary caregiver.
