  • An example of conducting participatory action research within the Living Lab in Ageing and Long-Term Care

    Open AccessSilke F Metzelthin, Erik van Rossum et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Demand for long-term care is rising, because of the aging of the population and the increase in chronic and degenerative diseases. Both community and institutional care services are facing challenges, not only caused by aggregated care needs but also through technological and related health care innovations. At the same time, the number of well-trained staff is decreasing, partly due to a negative image of care provision within the field of geria…

  • Experiences of home‐care workers with the ‘Stay Active at Home’ programme targeting reablement of community‐living older adults

    Open AccessRowan G M Smeets, G I J M Kempen et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2019Cited by: 2References: 2

    To face the challenges of an ageing population, many Western countries nowadays stimulate an ageing in place policy to empower older adults to grow old in their own homes with the highest degree of self-reliance. However, many community-living older adults experience limitations in (instrumental) activities of daily living ((I)ADLs), which may result in a need for home-care services. Unfortunately, home-care workers often provide support by takin…

  • Integrated care

    Open AccessDirk Ruwaard, Katja van Vliet et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)

  • The predictive validity of three self-report screening instruments for identifying frail older people in the community

    Open AccessRamon Daniëls, Erik van Rossum et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    All three instruments do have potential to identify older persons at risk, but their predictive power is not sufficient yet. Further research on these and other instruments is needed to improve targeting frail elderly

  • The added value of user involvement during the development of a feedback system regarding physical functioning for community-dwelling elderly people

    Open AccessJoan Vermeulen, J C L Neyens et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2012

    The number of frail elderly people is increasing. Unfortunately, the number of caregivers is not increasing at the same pace, which affects older people, caregivers and healthcare systems. Because of these developments, self-management is becoming more important in healthcare. To support community-dwelling elderly people in their self-management, a system was developed that monitors their physical functioning. This system provides feedback to eld…

  • The psychometric properties of three self-report screening instruments for identifying frail older people in the community

    Open AccessSilke F Metzelthin, Ramon Daniëls et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    The GFI and the TFI showed high internal consistency and construct validity in contrast to the SPQ. Based on these findings it is not yet possible to conclude whether the GFI or the TFI should be preferred; data on the predictive values of both instruments are needed. The SPQ seems less appropriate for postal screening of frailty among community-dwelling older people

  • Process factors explaining the ineffectiveness of a multidisciplinary fall prevention programme

    Open AccessMichel H C Bleijlevens, Michel HC Bleijlevens et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Falls are a major health threat to older community-living people, and initiatives to prevent falls should be a public health priority. We evaluated a Dutch version of a successful British fall prevention programme. Results of this Dutch study showed no effects on falls or daily functioning. In parallel to the effect evaluation, we carried out a detailed process evaluation to assess the feasibility of our multidisciplinary fall prevention programm…

  • Application of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) infusions in palliative home care

    Open AccessSandra Beijer, Erik van Rossum et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    From April 2002 through October 2006, a total of 100 patients have been randomized. Follow-up of patients will be completed in December 2006. At the time of writing, five patients are still in follow up. Of the 95 patients who have completed the study, 69 (73%) have completed four weeks of follow-up, and 53 (56%) have completed the full eight-week study period. The first results are expected in 2007

  • Effects of Emotion-Oriented Care on Work-Related Outcomes of Professional Caregivers in Homes for Elderly Persons

    Veron Schrijnemaekers, V J J Schrijnemaekers et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2003Cited by: 3References: 1

    From this study, as well as other studies in this field, no strong effects were found of emotion-oriented care on work-related outcomes in professional caregivers. Additional research is therefore needed. In these new studies, special attention should be given to the optimization of the implementation process of emotion-oriented care programs
