Biography

Anna Zhou is a specialist nurse in geriatric emergency at Vrinnevisjukhuset Hospital, focusing on the care of older adults. Her research centers on the intersection of aging and migration, particularly concerning foreign-born individuals in Sweden. Her interest originated from a curiosity regarding the role of one's origins in the aging process, especially in relation to her own Chinese heritage. Zhou is leading a project titled "Aging in Sweden Foreign-born," which aims to explore the perceptions and experiences of older individuals who have migrated to Sweden. The project is divided into four studies: The first study investigates the life meaning concerns of older individuals facing aging. The second study delves into the familial context of aging foreign-born individuals. Ongoing studies aim to map the social networks of older adults and to understand their dignity perceptions in end-of-life care.
