Physicians’ viewpoints on initiating invasive mechanical ventilation in older persons
Open AccessMonique Daniels, Akira Kuriyama et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026
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…
Living beyond the point of no return
Open AccessMonique Daniels, Yoko Yoshioka et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2026
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 AccessVivian Reckers-Droog, Philipa Mos et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026
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…

Preferences of citizens in Peru for school opening during a public-health crisis
Open AccessKaren Trujillo Jara, Jose Ignacio Hernandez et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025References: 17
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 …

METHODS: = 486) was recruited from the population of knee and hip osteoarthritis patients aged 45 and over, also from the Netherlands. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, average inter-item correlation and item…

United but divided
Open AccessIryna Sabat, Sebastian Neumann‐Böhme et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2020
To understand the public sentiment toward the measures used by policymakers for COVID-19 containment, a survey among representative samples of the population in seven European countries was carried out in the first two weeks of April 2020. The study addressed people's support for containment policies, worries about COVID-19 consequences, and trust in sources of information. Citizens were overall satisfied with their government's response to the p…
How does participating in a deliberative citizens panel on healthcare priority setting influence the views of participants
Open AccessVivian Reckers-Droog, Maarten Jansen et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2020
A deliberative citizens panel was held to obtain insight into criteria considered relevant for healthcare priority setting in the Netherlands. Our aim was to examine whether and how panel participation influenced participants’ views on this topic. Participants (n = 24) deliberated on eight reimbursement cases in September and October, 2017. Using Q methodology, we identified three distinct viewpoints before (T0) and after (T1) panel participation…

Validation of the Hungarian version of the CarerQol instrument in informal caregivers
Open AccessPetra Baji, Werner Brouwer et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2020
Our findings confirmed the validity of the Hungarian language version of the CarerQol and support the cross-cultural validity of the instrument. CarerQol-7D scores performed better in distinguishing caregiving situation characteristics than the general happiness measure CarerQol-VAS. Care recipients' health status was only weakly associated with informal caregivers' care-related quality of life and happiness. Caregivers' own health and caregiving…

A validation study of the Icecap-O in informal carers of people with dementia from eight European Countries
Open AccessMeg Perry‐Duxbury, Job Van Exel et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2019
The ICECAP-O appears to be a valid measure of well-being in informal carers for people with dementia. The ICECAP-O may therefore be useful as an outcome measure in economic evaluations of interventions aimed at such informal carers, when these aim to improve well-being beyond health

Are people living with HIV less productive at work
Open AccessKaya Verbooy, Marlies N Wagener et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018
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…
Does the Icecap-O cover the physical, mental and social functioning of older people in the UK
Open AccessMariska Q N Hackert, Job Van Exel et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2018
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…

Rational expectations? An explorative study of subjective survival probabilities and lifestyle across Europe
Open AccessDavid R Rappange, Werner Brouwer et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2016
BACKGROUND: Subjective survival probabilities (SSPs) are considered relevant in relation to lifestyle as lifestyle improvements may improve health and lower mortality risk. OBJECTIVE: To study individuals' SSP in a population of elderly (i.e. 60 years and older) from 15 European countries. METHODS: Data from the second wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) were used. Individuals were asked about their chances to li…
