Description
Within REALM, focus is on loneliness among older adults, how loneliness is perceived and experienced, and its relationship to mental health. We will fill research gaps in order to promote evidence-based approaches to identifying, assessing, and addressing loneliness in practise by:
- examining inequalities in risk factors and consequences of loneliness, and causal associations between loneliness, mental health and care
- exploring subjective experiences of loneliness and mental health from a life-course perspective - developing an instrument to assess loneliness in practice
- creating a loneliness literacy training programme for care professionals, and enhancing care professionals’ response to loneliness.
REALM is a collobaration between Dalarna University and Aging Research Center at Karolinska Institutet/Stockholm University. It is funded through a programme grant from The Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare (FORTE).
