• Physicians’ viewpoints on initiating invasive mechanical ventilation in older persons

  Open Access•Monique Daniels, Akira Kuriyama et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2026

  Añadir item

  Initiating life-supporting invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is a complex yet crucial decision, characterised by prognostic uncertainty and a wide range of outcomes, with profound consequences for patients, families, and healthcare systems. Older persons are at increased risk of poor outcomes. In Japan, IMV use is relatively intense in older persons. Moreover, in contrast to other countries, IMV initiation is often considered irreversible. IM…

  Open Access•Monique Daniels, Yoko Yoshioka et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2026

  Añadir item

  Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is a commonly used, life-saving intervention initiated in acutely life-threatening situations. A considerable proportion of patients, particularly older adults, experience inadequate recovery and a poor prognosis. In many countries, such situations prompt reconsideration of continued IMV. In Japan, however, the discontinuation of IMV remains rare. Consequently, patients remain dependent on IMV for prolonged p…

• Understanding public opposition to negative reimbursement decisions in healthcare

  Open Access•Vivian Reckers-Droog, Philipa Mos et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2026

  Añadir item

  The pressure on publicly financed healthcare systems may necessitate decisions to not (or no longer) reimburse health technologies. Such decisions remain politically sensitive and often evoke public opposition, pressuring decision-makers to revoke or revise them. However, the elements that constitute public opposition remain unclear. This study addresses this gap by systematically reviewing the scientific literature. We searched Embase, Google Sc…

  Policies that focus on prevention (e.g. mandatory vaccination for teachers and quarantine measures) can count on substantial support in a scenario when schools are open. The strong preference for opening schools with a noticeable difference in the way classes are provided (e.g. teaching on location most preferred by respondents from the Highlands and hybrid teaching by respondents from the Coast) show the importance of introducing differentiated …

  Our findings confirmed the validity of the Hungarian language version of the CarerQol and support the cross-cultural validity of the instrument.

  Health problems may cause decreased productivity among working people. It is unclear if this also applies for people living with HIV (PLWH). This cross-sectional study compares data of PLWH of one of the main HIV treatment centres in the Netherlands (n = 298) to data of the general working population from a previously conducted study (n = 986). We investigate whether productivity at work differs between these groups. The questionnaires used in th…

  The ICEpop CAPability measure for Older people (ICECAP-O) is intended for use in economic evaluations of care services for older people. Although studies support the validity of the ICECAP-O, it does not directly ask older people about their health. This raises questions about its ability to capture health indirectly. Previous studies found mixed results in this aspect, especially for physical health. This study further investigates whether the I…
