The CAH congratulates Dr. V. Puplampu (Faculty of Nursing) and her international team on their remarkable research and success as a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Aging Planning and Dissemination Grant recipient.
The team working on the project "Older Adults’ Experience of Vulnerability and Inequity in Recovering from the Pandemic’ were hosted by Dr. Puplampu on the U of R campus in May 2025.
We studied the impact of ageism and pain on pandemic stress among older adults. Our findings suggest that both ageism and pain influence pandemic-related stress, although ageism mediated pain's impact on pandemic stress. @UofRAgingCentre @gjgasmundson
