Advance care planning in the end-of-life phase: Coordinating between social worlds
Advance care planning (ACP) for people in the last phase of life, living at home with complex care needs, is increasingly seen as a valuable practice to deliver patient-centred care and to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and delay nursing home admissions. A notable difficulty of ACP is the coordination of ACP-practices over various domains involved in patient care (e.g. home care, GP care, hospital care). We draw on ethnographic data on ACP …
On Epistemological Politics: Working With Contested Knowledge Production in Action Research
Fundamental to action research in healthcare is the co-production of knowledge by researchers and participants, including professionals, patients and policymakers. Despite high expectations of co-produced knowledge, few scholars have reflected critically on how researchers navigate situations in which different kinds of knowledge are articulated and potentially clash both at the front- and backstage of research projects. Drawing on our own experi…
New models of organizing General Medical Care in the Netherlands: Towards a regional and future proof general medical care
Introduction: In the Netherlands, general medical care (GMC) is provided by general practitioners (GPs), elderly care physicians (ECP), physicians in intellectual disability medicine (PIDM), nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Access to GMC is increasingly under pressure, because of a growing care demand and a relatively small influx of new GMC professionals into the labor force. Furthermore, the available capacity of GMC professionals …
Heading for health policy reform: Transforming Regions of Care From Geographical Place Into Governance Object
This article analyses how regional actors and national authorities shape and transform ‘the region’ from a geographical place into an object of governance for organising and delivering older person care. Drawing on an extensive ethnographic research project in the Netherlands, our findings show that these actors in interaction constitute the region through three practices: consistently creating urgency to foreground regional problems and solution…
Targeting 'average Jane: The co-modification of for-profit nursing home care in the Netherlands
In the Global North, long-term residential care is increasingly shaped by globally financed, for-profit nursing home chains. Yet little is known about how such initiatives operate and how they interact with public healthcare systems. This article investigates a long-term care facility in the Netherlands backed by global investment capital. Drawing on the concept of co-modification (Asdal & Huse, 2023), defined as the co-creation of goods and serv…
Reorganizing medical care for older persons in times of scarcity: A cybernetics analysis of work pressure and organizational change
Capacity problems in healthcare lead organizations to seek new and fluid ways of organizing care to safeguard access to services. Task reallocation, triage and stepped care models are increasingly foregrounded as promising interventions that enhance the capacity, efficiency, and resilience of medical services and through which access can be maintained for a growing client base. In this paper, we argue that interventions meant to enhance capacity …
The night is for sleeping: How Nurses Care for Conflicting Temporal Orders in Older Person Care
This paper examines the conflicting temporal orders of the regional nurse, a role which has been introduced to deal with the increasing demands of aged care and workforce shortages in regional settings. We build on ethnographic research in the Netherlands, in which we examine regional district nurses as a new professional role that attends to (sub)acute care needs, connecting and coordinating different places of care during out of office hours. W…
All the good care: Valuation and task differentiation in older person care
Task reallocation is increasingly foregrounded as a promising solution for capacity problems. Numerous studies show, however, that task reallocation between medical professionals is a highly contested issue and difficult to institutionalise. Conflicts are omnipresent and often arise from 'intraprofessional competition': Zero-sum games between professionals from different disciplinary backgrounds where one party's gains require another party's los…
The Casanova-Myth: Legend and Anxiety in the Seduction Community
The word Casanova is often treated as a synonym for womaniser, variously interpreted in a positive or negative light depending upon the audience. The Seduction Community (SC) largely comprises young heterosexual men who follow and adapt the teachings of commercial pick-up artists, typically in an effort to embody the Casanova-myth. This paper reports and analyses findings from a qualitative study of the SC. Drawing from life history interviews ( …
