Dr Low’s research interests resolve around gerontology, emphasizing on the organization of care and practices, decision-making in residential care homes, discharge planning for older patients and family members; and, recently, family decision-making of older people with mild-moderate dementia using mainly qualitative approaches. Her deep passion to integrate qualitative research into her work with older people include the use of action research (combined with ethnography) to constructivist grounded theory to promote the quality of life of older residents and staff in an aged care setting.
