Research
My research project is called “Use of mHealth in supporting family caregivers to persons with dementia”. The project is based on an intervention where family caregivers to persons with dementia living at home receive support from community-based social care professionals through a tailor-made and interactive app named STAV (STöd till AnhörigVårdare: Support to family caregivers). The provision of support through STAV is evaluated through a multimethod approach using both quantitative and qualitative methods.
