Jill-Marit Moholt

Jill-Marit Moholt is an Associate Professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway's Faculty of Health Sciences, specializing in elderly care systems and dementia research. With a doctoral degree completed in 2019, she has established herself as a prominent researcher in the field of gerontology and healthcare services for older adults in Norway.

Her research program focuses on the intersection of formal healthcare systems and informal care provision, with particular attention to family caregivers of persons with dementia. Dr. Moholt's work examines patterns of community healthcare service utilization, barriers to access, and the impacts of health policies on elderly care delivery, especially in Northern Norway's unique context.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on practical healthcare challenges, including pandemic response in nursing homes, task-shifting practices in reablement teams, and the evolving nature of informal care systems. Her research combines qualitative and quantitative methods to address critical questions about how to best support both elderly patients and their caregivers within the Norwegian welfare system.

Dr. Moholt has secured research funding for multiple projects examining elderly care systems and has supervised several students who have co-authored publications with her. Her work contributes significantly to evidence-based policy development in Norwegian elderly care services.
