Dr Wang Wenru from the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies received a new grant from the Social Science Research Council on April 28 for her upcoming project that will benefit the elderly, particularly the ones who live alone. Titled ”Salutogenic Healthy Ageing Programme Embracement (SHAPE) for elderly living alone”, Dr Wang’s project aims to equip the elderly living alone with both health and social resources to help them age healthily. Previous studies have shown that these elderly have poorer health outcomes and quality of life.
