Boah Kim awarded the Douglas Holmes Emerging Scholar Paper Award
Congratulations to Boah Kim, a PhD student in the Department of Gerontology at 丁香园AV, who is the recipient of the .
The Douglas Holmes Emerging Scholar Paper Award recognizes research with potential to improve quality of life and/or quality of care in long-term care and is intended to encourage and support innovative and promising research across long-term care settings.
This year, Kim鈥檚 original manuscript Healthcare Navigation Difficulties Among Informal Caregivers of Older Adults: A logistic regression analysis of social capital, caregiving support and utilization factors, was selected.
An excerpt from Kim鈥檚 paper:
Informal caregivers are fulfilling important navigation and support roles for their older care recipients. However, there is still little knowledge of the most significant facilitators and barriers to effective and efficient system navigation among caregivers. This paper aims to fill these knowledge gaps through investigation of the key factors (i.e., social capital/cohesion, caregiving supports, and utilization factors) affecting navigation difficulties faced by informal caregivers of older adults.
