Wars and other life circumstances can result in children being orphaned and neglected. Around the world, including in our own community, grandparents are becoming caregivers for their grandchildren, but often with little support. Someone who has been studying this issue is Dr. Schola Matovu, a gerontological nurse scientist, Assistant Professor and Director of Global Learning and Engagement at the University of Utah College of Nursing, where she also serves as the Principal Investigator for the Matovu Research Lab. She is a Fellow in the Betty Irene Moore Fellowship for Nurse Leaders and Innovators. HealthCetera host Diana J. Mason, PhD, RN, talked with Dr. Matovu about her work on grandparents as caregivers for their grandchildren. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on April 29, 2026.
