Research interests
Dr. Bourbonnais’s research program aims to better understand the experience and behaviours of older people living with a major neurocognitive disorder and to develop intervention approaches to improve the quality of care and well-being of these older people and their care partners. She is particularly interested in responsive behaviours of older people (e.g., vocal, aggressive or apathy behaviours).
Dr. Bourbonnais’s projects aim to develop rigorous interventions to promote the well-being of older adults, their care partners and formal caregivers. To this end, she uses a variety of research methods, such as action research, mixed methods, qualitative and experimental methods.
Dr. Bourbonnais’s work also focuses on palliative and end-of-life care in long-term care homes, as well as on the integration of technologies in those homes.
