Elin Nilsson

I am currently leading a longitudinal research project in which she, together with Associate Professor Anna Ekström and Professor Lars-Christer Hydén, examines how couples living with dementia manages changes. Elin has finished a postdoctoral project at Uppsala University, Sweden, which focused on how needs assessments between care managers and older couples are carried out, with a specific interest in self-determination, alliances, and management of resistance from clients with dementia.

I am also working in a research project led by Associate Professor Anna Olaison at Linköping University, in which they have conducted focus group interviews with care managers regarding needs assessments with couples. The research findings from these three projects provide a basis for CARM workshops with care managers and potentially other professionals who meet and provide services for persons living with dementia.
