Response to Comments on “Designing a Positive Health Dialogue Tool for Adolescents and Young Adults
We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised regarding our recent publication, “Designing a Positive Health Dialogue Tool for Adolescents and Young Adults: A Mixed Methods Study” (Health Expect. 2024 Oct;27(5):e70042). We value the constructive feedback and offer the following clarifications. The quantitative aspect of our study involves a relatively small sample (N = 118), as acknowledged in the limitations section. These finding…
Designing a Positive Health Dialogue Tool for Adolescents and Young Adults
OBJECTIVES: Being able to express and address strengths and needs related to health is an important asset to enhance resilience during emerging adulthood. Towards this end, we aimed to develop a specific version of the My Positive Health (MPH) dialogue tool for this developmental period (ages 16-25). By adopting a broad perspective on health and striving for applicability in various settings, this tool ultimately seeks to promote integrated colla…
Identifying Future Study Designs for Mental Health and Social Wellbeing Associated with Diets of a Cohort Living in Eco-Regions
Diets influence our mental health and social wellbeing (MHSW) in multiple ways. A rising community concept, Eco-Regions, has gained interest. The research project "Indicators for assessment of health effects of consumption of sustainable, organic school meals in Ecoregions" (INSUM) aims to develop future-oriented research approaches to measure the potential health effects of more sustainable and healthy diets. This first part of the project focus…
Measuring positive health
The definition of health has been shifting from disease absence to physical, emotional and social well-being. To demedicalise societal problems, the term Positive Health (PH) was introduced-a concept focused on the ability to adapt and to self-manage, in the face of physical, emotional and social challenges. The concept of PH receives broad attention, among others because a PH dialogue tool is intensively being used as a communication instrument …
A Mind–Body Skills Course Among Nursing and Medical Students
Despite increased recognition of self-care and self-awareness as core competences for health care professionals, little attention is paid to these skills during their education. Evidence suggests that a Mind-Body (MB) skills course has the potential to enhance self-care and self-awareness among medical students. However, less is known about the meaning of this course for students and how it affects their personal and professional life. Therefore,…
Towards a ‘patient-centred’ operationalisation of the new dynamic concept of health
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate among stakeholders the support for the new, dynamic concept of health, as published in 2011: 'Health as the ability to adapt and to self-manage', and to elaborate perceived indicators of health in order to make the concept measurable. DESIGN: A mixed methods study: a qualitative first step with interviews and focus groups, followed by a quantitative survey. PARTICIPANTS: Representatives of seven healthcare stakeholder domai…
The impact of Ramadan fast on BMI and cardiometabolic factors in ethnic obese adolescents
Immune Responses to Experimental Stress
OBJECTIVE: Two important determinants of physiological stress responses have been identified, uncontrollability of the stressor and amount of effort involved in coping with the stressor. In the present experiment, we tried to identify the specific contributions of effort and uncontrollability to immune system responses to stress. METHODS: In a 2 x 2 design, effort and uncontrollability were manipulated independently of each other. Subjects partic…
