    Open Access•Marcel van Eck, Roelof Ettema et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Work•2025

    Open Access•Caroline van Genk, Maaike van Vugt et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2025•References: 35

    Intensive home support (IHS) is a contemporary floating outreach approach in supported housing designed to address the growing need for community living initiatives for persons with severe mental illness (SMI). Despite the advantages of independent living, IHS clients often experience loneliness, superficial relationships with neighbours, and lower levels of community integration compared to those without SMI. This article aims to identify opport…

  • We Do This Together: A Reflective Analysis on Collaborative Research With People With Dementia

    Open Access•Jacoba Huizenga, Herma Tigchelaar et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2025•References: 4

    In recent years, there has been a growing focus on incorporating the perspectives and experiences of people with dementia in research. However, collaborative research that engages with their everyday lives remains limited, and there is little reflection on this research approach. Our research project on everyday life with dementia was conducted in the Netherlands by a team comprising academic researchers and co-researchers with dementia. The co-r…

  • The lived experiences of complex care of families with complex problems: A realist evaluation of Integrated Social Care

    Introduction/Background: An ongoing realist evaluation of the implementation of the program [Amsterdam Customization method] in social welfare in Amsterdam (NL), focussing on multi-problem families, revealed among others, that participating organisations within the program tend to focus on their own tasks, without shared decision making. This becomes extremely clear in the context of safety for the children: parents are not seen as partners to gu…

  • The complexity of constructing empowerment measuring instruments: A delphi study

    Open Access•Thomas Noordink, Lisbeth Verharen et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social Work•2023•References: 4

The way in which instruments are developed and constructed impact their quality. With regard to the complexity of measuring empowerment, this article aims to provide insights in experts’ views on the theoretical requirements to measuring empowerment in social work.

    Open Access•Carla Nouwen, Lobke Havens et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Service Research•2023•References: 12

    It is often the case that distinct social services work independently of each other, and by providing integrative services this can be prevented. This study focuses on integrated care between the social service fields of social work and financial- and employment services in the Netherlands. This article examines client’s perspective, in terms of needs, benefits, and results they experience, of the integrated care. A qualitative case study was con…

  • Examining the Co-impact of Participatory Action-Oriented Research. Bringing Hidden effects to the Surface. A Case Study

    Open Access•Wilma Numans, Juliette Boog et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 29

    Research impact is high on the agendas of governments and funders all over the world. As participatory action-oriented research (PAR) intends to have an impact – positive changes in policy and practice – interest in PAR is rising. But although impact may sound clear, it is susceptible to various interpretations. Hence assessing the impact of PAR is a challenge. In this article we describe a PAR project with multi-stakeholder participation at its …

  • Methodical principles and prevention-focused outcomes in professional youth work: A longitudinal analysis

    Open Access•Jolanda Sonneveld, Judith Metz et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Work•2022

    Previous research has suggested that professional youth work settings empower socially vulnerable youngsters, strengthening their personal development and social participation. It is expected that youth work can prevent personal and social problems of youngsters, which may have longer term positive social returns. How the underlying methodical way of acting of youth workers contributes to prevention-focused outcomes remains unclear. This article …

  • Exploring empowerment of participants and peer workers in a self- managed homeless shelter

    Open Access•Max Huber, Louis D Brown et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Work•2022

    Self-managed shelters claim that participants who have been homeless are better able to run a shelter than regular providers. Little research has investigated self-managed shelters. In this article, we have described the experiences of participants and peer workers with empowerment processes in Je Eigen Stek (Your own place, JES), a self-managed shelter, based on an eight-year qualitative responsive evaluation.

  • When Methods Meet Motives: Methodological pluralism in Social Work research

    Open Access•Martine Ganzevles, Daan Andriessen et al.•ARTICLE•Quality & Quantity•2022

    In Social Work research there is a strong debate on the distinctiveness and methodological quality, and how to address the dilemma of rigour and practice relevance. Given the nature of Social Work the field has developed a characteristic research culture that puts emphasis on giving voice to service users and disseminating research knowledge in practice, especially in a stream of so called practice-based research. However, there is no consensus o…

    Embedded within family law proceedings and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989) there is ambiguity surrounding the terms rights, participation, best interests, and capacity.

  • Measuring Instruments for Empowerment in Social Work: A Scoping Review

    Open Access•Thomas Noordink, Lisbeth Verharen et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2021

    Empowerment is seen as an important thinking and working framework for social work. Ideally, it is possible to measure the empowering effects of social work. However, various factors complicate measuring empowerment, making it a difficult exercise. In past decades many instruments for measuring empowerment have been developed and there are many variations in the way these instruments have been developed. The aim of this review is to provide a com…

    Open Access•Miranda Rutenfrans-Stupar, Naomi Hanique et al.•ARTICLE•Social Indicators Research•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 40

    Self-mastery plays a basic role in strength-based and recovery-oriented approaches applied by (mental) health-care institutions and social services. However, no research has been conducted on a comprehensive model that could provide insight into enhancing self-mastery and outcomes, such as social participation and quality of life, for individuals experiencing homelessness.

  • Methodical principles and prevention-focused outcomes in professional youth work: A longitudinal analysis

    Open Access•Jolanda Sonneveld, Judith Metz et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Work•2022

    Open Access•Martine Ganzevles, Daan Andriessen et al.•ARTICLE•Quality & Quantity•2022
