Mapping the longitudinal dynamics of Learning Communities about healthy weight approaches across Dutch municipalities
Background. Learning from one another and cross-sectoral collaboration is essential among multidisciplinary challenges, such as in (healthcare) approaches that connect the medical and social domain. To strengthen cross-sectoral learning and collaboration, learning communities (LCs) were implemented in 2021 across five municipalities in the Netherlands. Previous research gave insights into isolated variables that help or hinder creating successful…
Exploring actions and perceived impact of Learning Communities about healthy weight approaches across Dutch municipalities
Background. To reduce overweight and obesity rates, various Dutch municipalities applied healthy weight approaches (HWAs) that connect the medical and social domain. To strengthen HWAs and thus healthcare, learning communities (LCs) were implemented in 2021 that included multidisciplinary members like policy makers, care professionals, practice professionals and patients/citizens. LCs aim to stimulate learning, cross-sectoral collaboration, and a…
Implementation support structure for the Dutch Health Promoting School program
Support structures are available to schools worldwide for the implementation of Health Promoting School (HPS) programs. To get more insight in these structures, this multiple case study aimed to map variation in levels of support within eight Public Health Service (PHS) regions in the Netherlands and associations with contextual factors. Designed together with a Community of Practice, the study included two rounds of semistructured group intervie…
The multidisciplinary and participatory process to develop the Rubric for Learning Communities about Health Approaches
Introduction: Many Dutch municipalities implement a systems approach to promote health behavior among citizens. Learning communities (LCs) in these approaches enable stakeholders to collaborate and learn from one another. To optimize LCs, insights are needed into how LCs create knowledge and put it into action. This study aimed to describe the multidisciplinary and participatory process to develop a rubric for multidisciplinary Learning communiti…
Key contextual factors in implementing whole-school health promotion within Dutch schools
Purpose Contextual factors can influence the implementation of whole-school health promotion and compromise its impact among students. This study aimed to identify key (combinations of) contextual factors in the implementation of whole-school health promotion at Dutch primary, secondary and secondary vocational schools. Design/methodology/approach Forty-three schools with either a high or low degree of implementation were selected. Data were coll…
Exploring learning communities’ actions and perceived impact on healthy weight approaches across Dutch municipalities
Multidisciplinary LCs can contribute to creating new ideas and collaborations and to applying actions for a local HWA across most LPTs and system levels. These insights can be used during LC meetings to continuously adjust LCs and HWA actions when necessary. Future research is needed, for instance to gain further insights into new topics, the desired number of actions per LPT, and long-term LC impacts
Strengthening collaboration within Dutch municipalities for a healthier living environment
Background: Health is partly determined by the physical environment in which people live. It is therefore crucial to consider health when designing the physical living space. This requires collaboration between the social and physical domains within municipalities. Collaboration is not self-evident, however, and it is difficult to achieve due to barriers relating to culture, language and work processes. Additionally, improvements in collaboration…
Citizens’ perspectives on healthy weight approaches in low SEP neighborhoods
Conducting inclusive qualitative research from a systems perspective among citizens living in low SEP neighborhoods has contributed valuable insights into their needs. This enables practical implementation of HWAs by providing a deeper understanding of the LPTs within the HWA system. LPTs can help HWA stakeholders to further develop current HWAs toward systems approaches. Future research could study the leverage points that may contribute to LPT …
A constant learning curve in working towards integrated health policy
The greatest challenge when using knowledge in practice lies in expanding the collaboration between researchers, policymakers, professionals and inhabitants, for example by using boundary spanners. The collaboration should aim to organise a long-lasting adaptive collaboration aimed at mutual learning. This should focus on shared discussion of relevant knowledge, with less emphasis on pure acquisition and use of scientific knowledge
Fidelity, adaptation and integration of whole-school health promotion within Dutch schools
Implementing comprehensive health promotion programs in the school setting can be challenging, as schools can be considered complex adaptive systems. As a first step towards understanding what works in improving implementation for which schools and under which conditions, this study aimed to examine the degree of implementation of health promoting school (HPS) programs, in terms of five dimensions of fidelity (adherence, dose, participant respons…
Measuring Implementation of Health Promoting School (HPS) Programs
BACKGROUND: Implementation of Health Promoting School (HPS) programs can be challenging due to the dynamic school context. Navigating between program fidelity and adaptation, as well as integrating the program, is essential for successful implementation, and consequently, for program effects. As part of an evaluation study in the Netherlands, this study aimed to develop a measurement instrument that differentiates schools according to fidelity, a…
The degree of consistency of applying parental dietary and sedentary behavior rules as indicators for overweight in children
Parents' consistency in applying rules regarding dietary and sedentary behaviors was associated with parents' level of education and ethnic background, as well as with children's dietary and sedentary behaviors and their likelihood of becoming overweight. Our results may contribute to helping make healthcare professionals aware that children of parents who do not apply sedentary behavior rules are more likely to become overweight, as well as the …
General practitioners’ views on the influence of long-term care reforms on integrated elderly care in the Netherlands
This study explores the long-term care (LTC) reform in the Netherlands and its relation to the day-to-day integrated care for frail elderly people, from the perspective of general practitioners (GPs). We assessed GP perspectives regarding which elements of the LTC reform have promoted and hindered the provision of person-centred, integrated care for elderly people in the Netherlands. We performed case studies conducted by semi-structured intervie…
The perceptions and priorities of professionals in health and social welfare and city planning for creating a healthy living environment
We found that professionals in health and social welfare and city planning have similar views concerning the most and least important features of a healthy living environment in urban planning process. This could indicate that the differences between the two fields may be more nuanced and specific than previously thought. This knowledge offers perspectives for professionals to strengthen their collaboration and to come to a joint result in urban …
Perceptions of Care Sport Connectors’ Tasks for Strengthening the Connection Between Primary Care, Sports and Physical Activity
Care sport connectors have an important role in strengthening intersectoral collaboration. All the professions acknowledged a task concerning physical activity promotion and accepted a broker role. Thus, a public health mind-set seems to be present to some extent. However, challenges remain, such as the lack of willingness to collaborate among primary care professionals and sports policies not (yet) supporting intersectoral collaboration
Professional Care Networks of Frail Older People
Our findings indicate that the elderly often do not experience the integration of multidisciplinary care as such. This is a real opportunity for MTs to improve their care and to make the patients' experiences better in line with what they are aiming: allowing patients to live at home as healthy and independently as possible for as long as possible. We showed that informal caregivers often form communication bridges between patients and profession…
Mirror meetings with frail older people and multidisciplinary primary care teams
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the process and impact of confronting multidisciplinary teams (MTs) in primary care with the experiences of frail older patients through mirror meetings (MMs), with the aim of supporting teams to organize care in a more patient-oriented way. METHODS: Process and impact analyses were performed using a mixed-method approach. MMs were held with 14 frail older patients and four MTs comprising 23 health-care professionals (HCPs)…
Everyday life situations in which mothers experience difficulty stimulating healthy energy balance–related behavior in their school-age children
We identified five difficult everyday life situations related to healthy energy balance-related behavior. These five difficult situations were used as the input for developing a web-based parenting program designed to prevent children from becoming overweight. We reasoned that if we use these situations and the underlying reasons, many parents would recognize these situations and are willing to learn how to deal with them and complete the e-learn…
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…
