Applying Strong Evidence to improve integrated Care for multimorbid populations (Base-Care)
European countries are facing a rapid growth of the number of people with multimorbidity (i.e. people with two or more chronic conditions), due to population ageing, increased incidence (amongst others, because of unhealthy lifestyle) as well as increased survival rates of many chronic conditions. Many countries are aware that reforms of their health and care systems are needed to respond timely, effectively and sustainably to the changing health…
Occurrence and Timing of Advance Care Planning in Persons With Dementia in General Practice
Background: Advance care planning (ACP) is a process of communication in which patients and family caregivers discuss preferences for future care with the healthcare team. For persons with dementia, it is crucial to timely engage in ACP. Therefore, we study ACP in dementia using electronic health record data. This study aims to determine how often ACP conversations are recorded, analyze time from dementia diagnosis until the first recorded conver…
How Transitions in Dementia Care Trajectories Affect Health Problems in Partners
Transitions during the dementia care trajectory, namely, the diagnosis, institutionalization, and death of the person with dementia, significantly affect the cohabiting partner's health
Getting to know the needs of people with multimorbidity better
Introduction: Many countries face a rapid increase in the number of inhabitants living with multiple chronic conditions. At the same time, models of care that have been implemented in western countries seem to under-perform in terms of quality and outcomes, when it comes to multimorbidity management. People with multimorbidity often receive fragmented care, because of the disease-specific organisation of many health services. In addition, the seg…
Individual care plans in chronic illness care
Introduction: During the last decade, individual care plans (ICPs) have been introduced in healthcare in many countries. ICPs are used in different settings and for different purposes. In chronic illness care, ICPs are implemented to improve patient-centeredness, i.e. to ensure that decision-making about treatment and care and the actual delivery of care is based on patients’ self-assessed needs and personal goals, and is tailored to their prefer…
Integrated and patient-centered care for people with multimorbidity
Introduction: Integrated and patient-centered care is considered an effective response to the needs of people who suffer from multiple chronic conditions. People with multimorbidity often need care from multiple healthcare providers and various disciplines. A better coordination and integration of this care would improve its quality. Additionally, a patient-centered care approach would improve the quality of care for people with multimoribidty. P…
The impact of comorbid chronic conditions on quality of life in type 2 diabetes patients
To study the prevalence, impact and dose–response relationship of comorbid chronic conditions on quality of life of type 2 diabetes patients. Cross-sectional data of 1676 type 2 diabetes patients, aged 31–96 years, and treated in primary care, were analyzed. Quality of life (QoL) was measured using the mental component summary (MCS) and the physical component summary (PCS) scores of the Short Form-12. Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes was obtained fro…
Implementation of a tool to enhance evidence-informed decision making in public health
One of the barriers regarding evidence-informed decision making is the gap between the needs of policy makers and the ways researchers present evidence. This pilot study evaluates the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of a tool to enhance transparent and unambiguous communication on scientific evidence by knowledge workers. Therefore, mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) were applied. The results indicate that to promote suc…
Is retirement good for your health? A systematic review of longitudinal studies
The Relationship Between Health, Education, and Health Literacy
Health literacy has been put forward as a potential mechanism explaining the well-documented relationship between education and health. However, little empirical research has been undertaken to explore this hypothesis. The present study aims to study whether health literacy could be a pathway by which level of education affects health status. Health literacy was measured by the Health Activities and Literacy Scale, using data from a subsample of …
Health literacy of Dutch adults
Perceived difficulties with health information vary between competences and domains of health. Health literacy competences are associated with indicators of socio-economic position and with the domain in which health information is provided
