Salutogenic model of health to identify turning points and coping styles for eating practices in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background It is important for people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) to eat healthily. However, implementing dietary advice in everyday life is difficult, because eating is not a distinguishable action, but a chain of activities, embedded in social practices and influenced by previous life experiences. This research aims to understand why and how eating practices are developed over the life-course by investigating influential life experienc…
The operational context of care sport connectors in the Netherlands
To stimulate physical activity (PA) and guide primary care patients towards local sport facilities, Care Sport Connectors (CSCs), to whom a broker role has been ascribed, were introduced in 2012 in the Netherlands. The aim of this study is to describe CSCs' operational context. A theoretical framework was developed and used as the starting point for this study. Group interviews were held with policymakers in nine participating municipalities, and…
Development of a Dutch intervention for obese young children
The objective of this article is to provide insight in the five-step development process of the best evidence, best practice intervention for obese young children 'AanTafel!'. A set of requirements for intervention development was developed to guide the data inquiry: the use of theory, influencing factors, tailoring, multi-disciplinarity, duration/frequency and evaluation and monitoring. Step I retrieved evidence from clinical guidelines, followe…
The role of the care sport connector in the Netherlands
INTRODUCTION: To stimulate physical activity and guide primary care patients towards local sport facilities, Care Sport Connectors (CSC), to whom a broker role has been ascribed, were introduced in 2012 in the Netherlands. The aim of this study was to explore CSCs' role in connecting the primary care sector and the PA sector. METHOD: Fifteen CSCs were selected to participate in this study and were followed in their work of connecting both sectors…
Strengthening sense of coherence
Sense of coherence (SOC) reflects a coping capacity of people to deal with everyday life stressors and consists of three elements: comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. SOC is often considered to be a stable entity that is developed in young adulthood and stabilizes around the age of 30. Recent studies have questioned this stability of SOC and some studies report on interventions that have been successful in strengthening SOC in ad…

Children's hard-wired aversion to pure vegetable tastes. A ‘failed’ flavour–nutrient learning study
Children's hard-wired aversion to pure vegetable tastes. A ‘failed’ flavour–nutrient learning study
Using health promotion outcomes in formative evaluation studies to predict success factors in interventions
JUMP-in is a systematically developed intervention aimed at promoting physical activity among primary school children. It is a joint project involving different authorities and entails six school-based programme components. Measuring effects of such an intervention is a complex challenge. A common problem is the lack of valid instruments to measure physical activity and its determinants. In addition, it usually takes years to find improvements in…
