\r\n\r\nSuomen hyvinvointi koostuu tulevaisuudessa yh\u00e4 enemm\u00e4n ik\u00e4\u00e4ntyneiden hyvinvoinnista. Silti nykyinen keskustelu ik\u00e4\u00e4ntyneiden hyvinvoinnista ja el\u00e4m\u00e4nlaadusta on v\u00e4h\u00e4ist\u00e4. Vanheneminen ja sosiaalinen hyvinvointi (SoWell) on ik\u00e4\u00e4ntyv\u00e4n v\u00e4est\u00f6n hyvinvointiin keskittyv\u00e4 tutkimushanke. Sen l\u00e4ht\u00f6kohtana ovat ik\u00e4\u00e4ntyvien omat k\u00e4sitykset hyvinvoinnista sek\u00e4 tiivis yhteisty\u00f6 j\u00e4rjest\u00f6toimijoiden ja viranomaisten kanssa. Hankkeen tavoitteena on tuottaa sosiaalisesta hyvinvoinnista uutta tietoa, jota kunnat, j\u00e4rjest\u00f6t ja muut toimijat voivat k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 ik\u00e4ihmisten hyvinvoinnin parantamiseksi. Lis\u00e4ksi hankkeen tavoitteena on her\u00e4tt\u00e4\u00e4 keskustelua sosiaalisen hyvinvoinnin eri merkityksist\u00e4 ja tuoda esiin vanhuuden moninaisuutta ja ik\u00e4ihmisten erilaisia el\u00e4m\u00e4ntilanteita.\r\n\r\nHankkeen aineisto k\u00e4sitt\u00e4\u00e4 ryhm\u00e4keskusteluja, yksil\u00f6haastatteluja sek\u00e4 laajan koko Suomen kattavan postikysely aineiston.\r\n\r\nHanke toteutetaan Tampereen yliopiston yhteiskuntatieteiden tiedekunnassa, Gerontologian tutkimuskeskuksessa (GEREC) ja Ik\u00e4\u00e4ntymisen ja hoivan tutkimuksen huippuyksik\u00f6ss\u00e4 (CoEAgeCare).\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nLis\u00e4tietoa SoWell-tutkimushankkeesta l\u00f6ytyy tutkimuksen kotisivuilta<\/b> https:\/\/projects.tuni.fi\/sowell\/<\/b><\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTutkimuksen rahoittaja<\/b>\r\n<\/b>P\u00e4ivikki ja Sakari Sohlbergin s\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6 (2018\u20132023)\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nTutkimusryhm\u00e4<\/b>\r\n<\/b>Vastuullinen johtaja Marja Jylh\u00e4, marja.jylha@tuni.fi<\/a>\r\n\r\nVastuullinen johtaja Outi Jolanki, outi.jolanki@tuni.fi<\/a>\r\n\r\nYliopistotutkija Kristina Tiainen, kristina.tiainen@tuni.fi<\/a>\r\n\r\nV\u00e4it\u00f6skirjatutkija Katariina Tuominen, katariina.tuominen@tuni.fi<\/a>\r\n\r\nV\u00e4it\u00f6skirjatutkija Outi Valkama, outi.valkama@tuni.fi<\/a>\r\n\r\nTutkija Jani Raitanen, jani.raitanen@tuni.fi<\/a>\r\n\r\nErityisasiantuntija P\u00e4ivi Ahosola, paivi.ahosola@oikeus.fi<\/a>, Vanhusasiavaltuutetun toimisto, Helsinki\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","_fi_post_name":"vanheneminen-ja-sosiaalinen-hyvinvointi-sowell","_fi_post_excerpt":"","_fi_post_title":"Vanheneminen ja sosiaalinen hyvinvointi (SoWell)","_en_post_content":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Ageing and Social Well-Being (SoWell)<\/b>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nSoWell project studies older peoples\u2019 own expectations, needs and activities regarding their well-being and a good life in old age.
