I am Felix J. Roman - Hernandez, Associated Professor with a extensive experience as a Public Health Nurse at the UPR RCM School of Nursing. I consider myself a junior researcher working for over 6 years to find evidence-based solutions to address the phenomenon of loneliness, social isolation and psychiatric symptomatology in fragile older adults.
The area of interest in
research and evidence-based practice projects is physical
activity in older adults to prevent or reduce feelings of
loneliness, social isolation and psychiatric symptoms
(depression and anxiety).
Addressing the Physical Activity needs of older adults through
community-based programs can improve the health and
metabolic outcomes of older Hispanic adults and their quality
of life. Dr. Danet Lapiz – Bluhm & Felix J. Roman Hernandez.
Funded by: Title V Project $18,000.00. Collaborative
agreement between UPR RCM & UTSA.
