Understanding metabolic bariatric surgery stigma through the lived experiences of Dutch women
Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective treatment for severe obesity, yet patients often face stigma related to both obesity and MBS, complicating their treatment experience. Despite its significance, MBS stigma remains under-theorized in research. This study applies a socio-ecological stigma framework to explore how MBS stigma is experienced by patients in the Netherlands. Using qualitative methods, we conducted semi-structured intervi…
Public Views on Obesity, Bariatric Surgery, and Bariatric Surgery Patients
Bariatric surgery is globally stigmatized. There’s a lack of international comparative research on public perceptions of this procedure, and existing studies often overlook public perceptions of individuals undergoing it. Our cross-sectional survey investigated attitudes toward obesity, bariatric surgery, and individuals undergoing it in the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom. Of 1807 respondents, the UK displayed more negative attitudes…
The positive impact of a care–physical activity initiative for people with a low socioeconomic status on health, quality of life and societal participation
X-Fittt 2.0 improved the health, QoL and societal participation of the participants. Future initiatives should take into account the aforementioned barriers, and consider a longer intervention period for more sustainable results. More complete data are needed to confirm the findings
Effective elements of care-physical activity initiatives for adults with a low socioeconomic status
In care-physical activity (care-PA) initiatives, primary care and sports are combined to stimulate PA among adults at risk of lifestyle related diseases. Preliminary results from Dutch care-PA initiatives for adults with a low socioeconomic status (SES) indicate a decrease in participants' body weight and an improved quality of life, however, the elements that make these initiatives successful are yet to be identified. In total, 19 Dutch health p…
How young adults reflect on the role of sport in their socially vulnerable childhood
Participation in sport has often been related to positive developmental outcomes for socially vulnerable youth. However, we know very little about the role of sports participation in a socially vulnerable childhood. Taking a life-course perspective, we conducted interviews with 10 young adults to reflect on their socially vulnerable childhood and the role of sport in their lives. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, we discovered that …
Care–physical activity initiatives in the neighbourhood
Initiatives addressing multiple factors at different levels in an integral way are a challenge for evaluation. Multi-methods and tools are required, and data need to be interpreted comprehensively in order to contribute to a contextual insight into what works and why in relation to HiAP and care-PA initiatives
A Systematic Review of Life Skill Development Through Sports Programs Serving Socially Vulnerable Youth
Co-ordinated action between youth-care and sports
In the Netherlands, youth-care organisations and community sports clubs are collaborating to increase socially vulnerable youths' participation in sport. This is rooted in the idea that sports clubs are settings for youth development. As not much is known about co-ordinated action involving professional care organisations and community sports clubs, this study aims to generate insight into facilitators of and barriers to successful co-ordinated a…
The power of regression to the mean
This research follows up on a study by Schultz et al. ( ), in which the effect of a social norm intervention on energy consumption was examined. The present studies included control groups to examine whether social norm effects would persist beyond regression to the mean. Both studies had a 2 (baseline consumption: below mean versus above mean) × 2 (message condition: no‐message control versus norm message) design . Based on baseline fruit ( Stud…
