Tijssen, M. ; Cingel, Robert van ; Visser, Tjikke ; Melick, N. van
2011, Article / Letter to editor (BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, vol. 2011, iss. 12, (2011), pp. 117)Hip arthroscopies are often used in the treatment of intra-articular hip injuries. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) are an important parameter in evaluating treatment. It is unclear which PRO questionnaires are specifically available for hip arthroscopy patients. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate which PRO questionnaires are valid and reliable in the evaluation of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy.

2017, Article / Letter to editor (Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, vol. 25, (2017))Background: This systematic review aimed to describe non-conveyance in ambulance care from patient-safety and ambulance professional perspectives. The review specifically focussed at describing (1) ambulance non-conveyance rates, (2) characteristics of non-conveyed patients, (3) follow-up care after non-conveyance, (4) existing guidelines or protocols, and (5) influencing factors during the non-conveyance decision making process. Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and reference lists of included articles, in June 2016. We included all types of peer-reviewed designs on the five topics. Couples of two independent reviewers performed the selection process, the quality assessment, and data extraction. Results: We included 67 studies with low to moderate quality. Non-conveyance rates for general patient populations ranged from 3.7%-93.7%. Non-conveyed patients have a variety of initial complaints, common initial complaints are related to trauma and neurology. Furthermore, vulnerable patients groups as children and elderly are more represented in the non-conveyance population. Within 24 h-48 h after non-conveyance, 2.5%-6.1% of the patients have EMS representations, and 4.6-19.0% present themselves at the ED. Mortality rates vary from 0.2%-3. 5% after 24 h, up to 0.3%-6.1% after 72 h. Criteria to guide non-conveyance decisions are vital signs, ingestion of drugs/alcohol, and level of consciousness. A limited amount of non-conveyance guidelines or protocols is available for general and specific patient populations. Factors influencing the non-conveyance decision are related to the professional (competencies, experience, intuition), the patient (health status, refusal, wishes and best interest), the healthcare system (access to general practitioner/other healthcare facilities/patient information), and supportive tools (online medical control, high risk card). Conclusions: Non-conveyance rates for general and specific patient populations vary. Patients in the nonconveyance population present themselves with a variety of initial complaints and conditions, common initial complaints or conditions are related to trauma and neurology. After non-conveyance, a proportion of patients reenters the emergency healthcare system within 2 days. For ambulance professionals the non-conveyance decisionmaking process is complex and multifactorial. Competencies needed to perform non-conveyance are marginally described, and there is a limited amount of supportive tools is available for general and specific non-conveyance populations. This may compromise patient-safety.
Patients' and clinicians' experiences with stratified exercise therapy in knee osteoarthritis: a qualitative study.
Knoop, J. ; Joode, J.W. de ; Brandt, H. ; Dekker, J ; Ostelo, R.W.J.G.
2022, Article / Letter to editor (BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, vol. 23, iss. 1, (2022), pp. 559)BACKGROUND: We have developed a model of stratified exercise therapy that distinguishes three knee osteoarthritis (OA) subgroups ('high muscle strength subgroup', 'low muscle strength subgroup', 'obesity subgroup'), which are provided subgroup-specific exercise therapy (supplemented by a dietary intervention for the 'obesity subgroup'). In a large clinical trial, this intervention was found to be no more effective than usual exercise therapy. The present qualitative study aimed to explore experiences from users of this intervention, in order to identify possible improvements. METHODS: Qualitative research design embedded within a cluster randomized controlled trial in a primary care setting. A random sample from the experimental arm (i.e., 15 patients, 11 physiotherapists and 5 dieticians) was interviewed on their experiences with receiving or applying the intervention. Qualitative data from these semi-structured interviews were thematically analysed. RESULTS: We identified four themes: one theme regarding the positive experiences with the intervention and three themes regarding perceived barriers. Although users from all 3 perspectives (patients, physiotherapists and dieticians) generally perceived the intervention as having added value, we also identified several barriers, especially for the 'obesity subgroup'. In this 'obesity subgroup', physiotherapists perceived obesity as difficult to address, dieticians reported that more consultations are needed to reach sustainable weight loss and both physiotherapists and dieticians reported a lack of interprofessional collaboration. In the 'high muscle strength subgroup', the low number of supervised sessions was perceived as a barrier by some patients and physiotherapists, but as a facilitator by others. A final theme addressed barriers to knee OA treatment in general, with lack of motivation as the most prominent of these. CONCLUSION: Our qualitative study revealed a number of barriers to effective application of the stratified exercise therapy, especially for the 'obesity subgroup'. Based on these barriers, the intervention and its implementation could possibly be improved. Moreover, these barriers are likely to account at least partly for the lack of superiority over usual exercise therapy.

Patients' experience with intermittent catheterisation in everyday life
Cobussen-Boekhorst, H ; Hermeling, E ; Heesakkers, J ; Gaal, B.G.I. van
2016, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Clinical Nursing, vol. 25, iss. 9-10, (2016), pp. 1253-1261)Aims and objectives. This study reports about the experiences of 11 patients in the Netherlands who use intermittent self-catheterisation to manage their symptoms. The aim of the study was to get insight in underlying barriers and facilitators for patients dealing with intermittent catheterisation in everyday life. Background. Studies show that intermittent catheterisation has an impact on everyday life. A positive effect does not guarantee that patients maintain catheterisation over a longer period of time. After the implementation of a guideline, a quantitative study was performed to determine successful intermittent catheterisation. The patients of this study had previously taken part in this quantitative study. Design. This is a qualitative multicentre study using semistructured in-depth interviews with 11 patients between March-May 2013. Methods. Inclusion criteria included patients of a quantitative study (n=124) with a variety of diagnoses referred to the outpatient clinic. Those who received instruction from the researcher and who at start of the study performed catheterisation <= 3 months were excluded. Of the total number that met the inclusion criteria, every fourth patient was invited to participate in an interview. Patients were asked about the introducing of intermittent catheterisation, the incorporation into everyday life, the progress after the instruction and guidance perceived, the cause of the bladder problem and the motivation to start intermittent catheterisation. Results. Eleven interviews were performed (six males/five females). All patients described the instruction and follow-up care as positive. Barriers were the preparation before the handling, which is more difficult than the catheterisation itself, and the fact that patients felt constrained by the need to plan convenient times to catheterise themselves. ConclusionThis study shows that patients who perform catheterisation are satisfied about the instruction and follow-up care. Important barriers in everyday life are the preparation and the need to plan convenient times. Relevance to clinical practice. Interviewing patients gave important additional information about dealing with intermittent catheterisation in everyday life. Prescribers and teachers of intermittent catheterisation must realise that they often have to high expectations of patients when it comes to being flexible in frequency of catheterisation. It is important to realise that patients experience barriers of which healthcare workers are not always aware of, such as the preparation before the handling and feeling constrained by the need to plan convenient times to catheterise. The outcome of this study can be used to improve the content of patient information brochures and guidelines for intermittent catheterisation.
Patients' Views on the Impact of Stroke on Their Roles and Self: A Thematic Synthesis of Qualitative Studies

2013, Article / Letter to editor (Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, vol. 94, iss. 6, (2013), pp. 1171-1183)Objective: To synthesize patients' views on the impact of stroke on their roles and self. Data Sources: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane searched from inception to September 2010, using a combination of relevant Medical Subject Headings and free-text terms. This search was supplemented by reference tracking. Study Selection: Qualitative studies reporting the views of people poststroke. The search yielded 494 records. Opinion articles, quantitative studies, or those reporting somatic functioning were excluded. Thirty-three studies were included. Data Extraction: Data extraction involved identifying all text presented as "results" or "findings" in the included studies, and importing this into software for the analysis of qualitative data. Data Synthesis: The abstracted text was coded and then subject to a thematic analysis and synthesis, which was discussed and agreed by the research team. Three overarching themes were identified: (1) managing discontinuity is a struggle; (2) regaining roles: to continue or adapt? and (3) context influences management of roles and self. Regaining valued roles and self was an ongoing struggle, and discontinuity and uncertainty were central to the adjustment process after stroke. Conclusions: The thematic synthesis provides new insights into the poststroke experience. Regaining or developing a new self and roles was problematic. Interventions targeted at self-management should be focused on the recognition of this problem and included in rehabilitation, to facilitate adjustment and continuity as far as possible in life poststroke.

Patiëntentevredenheid over ambulancezorg : Is er een trend waarneembaar van 2003 tot 2009?
Honigh, M. ; Verhoeven, T. ; Grunsven, P.M. van ; Poppen, H. ; Bengel, P.
2011, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 107-116)Er is nog weinig onderzoek gedaan naar factoren die van invloed zijn op patiënttevredenheid binnen de ambulancezorg. Wij veronderstelden dat patiënten die vaker zijn vervoerd met de ambulance mogelijk kritischer zijn. Daarnaast leek het ons dat patiënten die ter plaatse behandeld worden minder tevreden zouden zijn over de zorg dan wanneer zij werden vervoerd. Ook veronderstelden we dat de vervoersurgentie gerelateerd zou kunnen zijn aan tevredenheid; bij spoed (A1 en A2-ritten) een hogere tevredenheid dan bij B-vervoer, omdat de patiënt meer in nood is. De onderzoeksvragen waren: hoe is de huidige patiënttevredenheid over de ambulancezorg in de RAV Gelderland-Zuid? Is de tevredenheid gerelateerd aan eerder vervoer, behandeling ter plaatse of riturgentie? Is er een trend waarneembaar in patiënttevredenheid in vergelijking met de resultaten van onderzoeken uit 2003 en 2006?

Patterns of social participation among older adults with disabilities and the relationship with well-being: A latent class analysis
Hees, S.G.M. van ; Borne, BHP van den ; Menting, J ; Sattoe, JNT
2020, Article / Letter to editor (Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, vol. 86, (2020))Aim: Living with a chronic condition or a disability at older age impacts social participation. Social connections and social activities seem interrelated leading to heterogeneous patterns in social participation. The aim of this study was to identify a typology in social participation among older adults with disabilities, and to relate this typology to their background characteristics and well-being measures. Methods: A total of 1775 older adults with disabilities or chronic conditions aged 65-97 were sampled from a nationwide panel study in the Netherlands. Social participation was assessed by various measures related to social connections, social informal activities, voluntary work, effort to increase social participation, and online social participation. A latent class analysis was carried out to identify a typology of social participation. Differences between these classes were explored with multinomial regression analyses and pairwise comparisons. Results: Four classes were found: social withdrawers (22.5%, n = 399), proximate social dwellers (14.5%, n = 257), moderately active social dwellers (37.2%, n = 660) and pro-active social dwellers (25.9%, n = 459). Background characteristics, such as living alone and severity of disability, differed significantly among classes. Regarding well-being measures, it appeared that pro-active social dwellers had the most positive scores. Social withdrawers were most prone to reduced life satisfaction and health related quality of life and increased loneliness and experienced participation restrictions. Conclusions: A typology with four patterns based on a wide spectrum of social participation aspects in older adults with disabilities was identified. This typology may help to assess the risk for reduced well-being of older adults with disabilities.

2023, Article / Letter to editor (Physical and Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics, vol. 43, iss. 1, (2023), pp. 74-92)AIMS: Performing the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP)-Assessment, using video material of everyday life, seems sensible to lower the patient burden, enhance ecological validity, and provide care at a distance. However, receipt of adequate video material is not self-evident and assessing videos can be challenging. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the process of gaining video material and to optimize the PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos. METHODS: An action design research method was used, focusing on implementation of the PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos within the care of children with a mitochondrial disorder or similar symptoms. RESULTS: Five cycles were conducted. To receive input, the cycles used videos of nine children performing activities, written feedback, and semi-structured interviews and focus groups comprising parents (nn=n13), a teacher (nn=n1), occupational therapists (nn=n16), and other professionals (nn=n2) . This led to successful implementation of the PRPP-Assessment. General lessons were learned on (1) instructing parents; (2) handling video material; (3) PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos; and (4) PRPP-Assessment of children (with limited functional abilities). CONCLUSIONS: Lessons learned should be implemented in practice and are incorporated into a manual to guide the implementation of video-based observations with PRPP-Assessment in practice.

2010, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 23-38)Deze bijdrage is een verkorte versie van de intreerede die dr. R.M. Verburg op 24 oktober heeft gehouden bij de aanvaarding van zijn ambt als lector HRM aan de Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen (HAN). Het ontwikkelen van een effectief personeelsbestand is geen eenvoudige taak. Personeelsmanagers worden steeds vaker geconfronteerd met vragen om het personeelsbeleid te herzien om meer toegevoegde waarde te creëren. Ook worden lijnmanagers steeds meer betrokken bij personeelsbeslissingen, zoals werving, selectie en ontwikkeling van nieuw personeel. In dit artikel worden de eerste ideeën met betrekking tot Human Resource Management (HRM) op het gebied van wetenschappelijk onderzoek behandeld, vervolgens wordt ingegaan op de recente uitdagingen in het veld zoals de link met kennismanagement en innovatie en de daarmee verbonden betekenis hiervan op de huidige praktijk van personeelsmanagement.

2021, Article / Letter to editor (Temperature, vol. 8, iss. 3, (2021), pp. 209-222)The environmental conditions during the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games are expected to be challenging, which increases the risk for participating athletes to develop heat-related illnesses and experience performance loss. To allow safe and optimal exercise performance of Dutch elite athletes, the Thermo Tokyo study aimed to determine thermoregulatory responses and performance loss among elite athletes during exercise in the heat, and to identify personal, sports-related, and environmental factors that contribute to the magnitude of these outcomes. For this purpose, Dutch Olympic and Paralympic athletes performed two personalized incremental exercise tests in simulated control (15°C, relative humidity (RH) 50%) and Tokyo (32°C, RH 75%) conditions, during which exercise performance and (thermo)physiological parameters were obtained. Thereafter, athletes were invited for an additional visit to conduct anthropometric, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and 3D scan measurements. Collected data also served as input for a thermophysiological computer simulation model to estimate the impact of a wider range of environmental conditions on thermoregulatory responses. Findings of this study can be used to inform elite athletes and their coaches on how heat impacts their individual (thermo)physiological responses and, based on these data, advise which personalized countermeasures (i.e. heat acclimation, cooling interventions, rehydration plan) can be taken to allow safe and maximal performance in the challenging environmental conditions of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Performing occupations under pain: the experience of persons with chronic pain.
Aegler, B. ; Satink, T.
2009, Article / Letter to editor (Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy, vol. 16, iss. 1, (2009), pp. 49-56)Chronic pain is known as a complex and subjective phenomenon that challenges healthcare professionals who coach and support clients with chronic pain. The aim of this study was to explore how persons with chronic pain experienced their occupational performance. Eight persons suffering from chronic pain were interviewed and the data was analysed with the constant comparative method. Three themes were identified: "Performing is an ongoing attraction", "Getting used to taking breaks is not easy", and "The challenge to finish performing". "Performing is an ongoing attraction" illustrates the innate need of every human being to be active and also how pleasurable occupations do not influence pain. The ongoing thoughts and emotions while participants stop their performance are described in "Getting used to taking breaks is not easy". This stop and go during every occupation is discussed in the perspective of temporality and occupational performance. In "The challenge to finish performing" the participants describe how they complete certain occupations despite pain. This is discussed with the focus on distraction and flow experience.

Perspectives on teaching and regulation of learning: a comparison of secondary and university teachers
Oolbekkink, H. ; Driel, Jan van ; Verloop, N
2014, Article / Letter to editor (Teaching in Higher Education, vol. 19, iss. 7, (2014), pp. 799-811)Many factors play a role in the successful transition of students from secondary to university education: one of them is the (university) teacher. In this study the similarities and differences in the perspectives on teaching and learning of secondary and university teachers were investigated. A survey was performed among 675 teachers. Three perspectives on teaching and learning could be distinguished: (1) a development orientation with shared regulation, (2) a knowledge orientation with strong regulation, and (3) an opinion orientation with loose regulation. Secondary teachers scored higher on the first perspective than university teachers who scored higher on the third perspective. These findings have implications for the transition of students from pre-university to university education and especially for teachers' roles.
Physical exercise for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: systematic review and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials.
Haren, I.E.P.M. van ; Timmerman, H. ; Potting, C.M. ; Blijlevens, N.M.A. ; Staal, J.B. ; -van der Sanden, M.W.G. Nijhuis
2013, Article / Letter to editor (Physical Therapy, vol. 93, iss. 4, (2013), pp. 514-528)BACKGROUND: The treatment-related burden for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may be relieved by physical exercises. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to summarize and analyze the evidence provided by randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on physical exercise interventions among patients with cancer undergoing HSCT. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and PEDro were searched for relevant RCTs up to October 1, 2011. STUDY SELECTION: Two reviewers screened articles on inclusion criteria and indentified relevant RCTs. DATA EXTRACTION: Two authors assessed the selected articles for risk of bias. Data extraction was performed by 1 reviewer. Meta-analyses were undertaken to estimate the outcomes quality of life (QOL), psychological well-being and distress, and fatigue. DATA SYNTHESIS: Eleven studies were included, with study populations consisting of recipients undergoing either an allogeneic or autologous HSCT (n=734). Four studies had low risk of bias. The exercise interventions were performed before, during, and after hospitalization for the HSCT. Different exercise programs on endurance, resistance and/or activities of daily living training, progressive relaxation, and stretching were used. Meta-analyses showed that exercise during hospitalization led to a higher QOL (weighted mean difference=8.72, 95% confidence interval=3.13, 14.31) and less fatigue (standardized mean difference=0.53, 95% confidence interval=0.16, 0.91) in patients with an allogeneic HSCT at the moment of discharge from the hospital. No marked effects were found for psychological well-being and distress. Individual study results suggested significant positive effects on QOL, fatigue, psychological well-being and distress, and physical functioning. LIMITATIONS: Prevalent shortcomings in the included studies were the heterogeneity among studies and the lack of blinding of participants, personnel, and outcome assessment. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that recipients of HSCT may benefit from physical exercise.

2018, Article / Letter to editor (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, vol. 34, iss. 10, (2018), pp. 747-756)PURPOSE: This study explores the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an exercise program in people scheduled for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS: In this controlled clinical trial, we compare pre-transplantation exercise to no exercise in the waiting period for an allogeneic of autologous HSCT. The supervised individually tailored exercise program (4-6 weeks) consisted of aerobic endurance, muscle strength, and relaxation exercises, administered twice a week in the period prior to HSCT. Feasibility was determined based on inclusion rate, attrition rate, adherence to intervention, safety, and satisfaction (0-10). Preliminary effectiveness was determined primarily by self-perceived physical functioning, quality of life (QOL), and fatigue. Secondary outcomes were global perceived effect (GPE), blood counts, hospital stay, and physical fitness. RESULTS: Forty-six patients were eligible, of whom 29 (69%) participated: 14 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. The adherence rate to training was 69%. No adverse events or injuries occurred. Satisfaction of training conditions was high (mean 9.2 ±1.3). Positive (follow-up) trends in favor of the intervention group were found for self-perceived physical functioning, QOL, fatigue, GPE, blood counts, and hospital stay. CONCLUSION: Exercise prior to HSCT is safe and feasible, and positive trends suggest favorable preliminary effectiveness. Adherence to the exercise program needs to be optimized in a future trial.

2017, Article / Letter to editor (BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, vol. 18, iss. 1, (2017), pp. 196)BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders are a major health problem resulting in negative effects on wellbeing and substantial costs to society. Work participation is associated with positive benefits for both mental and physical health. Potentially, generalist physical therapists (GPTs) can play an important role in reducing absenteeism, presenteeism and associated costs in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. However, work participation is often insufficiently addressed within generalist physical therapy practice (GPTP). Therefore, this study evaluates whether GPTs take work participation into account as a determining factor in patients with musculoskeletal disorders, and how this might be improved. METHODS: This qualitative study consisted of seven focus groups involving 30 participants: 21 GPTs and 9 occupational physical therapists (OPTs). Based on an interview guide, participants were asked how they integrate work participation within their practice, how they collaborate with other professionals, and how GPTs can improve integration of the patient's work within their practice. RESULTS: Although participants recognized the importance of work participation, they mentioned that the integration of this item in their GPTP could be improved. Generally, GPTs place insufficient priority on work participation. Moreover, there is a lack of cooperation between the generalist physical therapist and (other) occupational healthcare providers (including OPTs), and the borderlines/differences between generalist physcial therapy and occupational health physcial therapy were sometimes unclear. GPTs showed a lack of knowledge and a need for additional information about several important work-related factors (e.g. work content, physical and psychosocial working conditions, terms of employment). CONCLUSIONS: Although a patient's work is important, GPTs take insufficient account of work participation as a determining factor in the treatment of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. GPTs often lack specific knowledge about work-related factors, and there is insufficient cooperation between OPTs and other occupational healthcare providers. The integration of work participation within GPTP, and the cooperation between GPTs and other occupational healthcare providers, show room for improvement.

1994, Article / Letter to editor (Jom. Journal of Occupational Medicine, vol. 36, iss. 3, (1994), pp. 338-345)A study was conducted to investigate the physical work load and the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints of nurses in nursing homes. Thirty-six female subjects selected from three nursing homes in the Netherlands participated in an observational study. In addition, the total nursing staff (n = 668) was invited to take part in a questionnaire survey (response was 94%). It was noticed that almost 60% of the observed time was spent on nonpatient-related activities. Moreover, activities alternated rapidly and seldom lasted longer than 4 minutes on average. Twenty percent of the observed time was spent in "poor" work postures as defined by the Ovako Working Posture Analyzing System (Action Category 2 to 4). Activities contributing most to these poor work postures were patient care and household and preliminary tasks. Perceived exertion as scored on the Borg-CR10 scale was highest during patient-related activities. This holds also for a relative increase of heart rate. Questionnaire results showed prevalences of 41%, 35%, and 20% respectively, for back, arm/neck, and leg complaints. From this study it can be concluded that not only patient-related activities should be taken into consideration for the improvement of work postures and other potential strenuous aspects of nursing work. Household and preliminary tasks, ergonomic layout of the ward, and work pressure also deserve attention.

2016, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, vol. 22, iss. 3, (2016), pp. 395-402)Rationale, aims and objectivesMedical ward care has been increasingly reallocated from medical doctors (MDs) to physician assistants (PAs). Insight into their roles and tasks is limited. This study aims to provide insight into different organizational models of medical ward care, focusing on the position, tasks and responsibilities of the involved PAs and MDs. MethodsIn this cross-sectional descriptive study 34 hospital wards were included. Characteristics of the organizational models were collected from the heads of departments. We documented provider continuity by examination of work schedules. MDs and PAs in charge for medical ward care (n=179) were asked to complete a questionnaire to measure workload, supervision and tasks performed. ResultsWe distinguished four different organizational models for ward care: medical specialists in charge of admitted patients (100% MS), medical residents in charge (100% MR), PAs in charge (100% PA), both MRs and PAs in charge (mixed PA/MR). The wards with PAs had the highest provider continuity. PAs spend relatively more time on direct patient care; MDs spend relatively more time on indirect patient care. PAs spend more hours on quality projects (P=0.000), while MDs spend more time on scientific research (P=0.030). ConclusionAcross different organizational models for medical ward care, we found variations in time per task, time per bed and provider continuity. Further research should focus on the impact of these differences on outcomes and efficiency of medical ward care.

2015, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Advanced Nursing, vol. 71, iss. 12, (2015), pp. 2998-3005)Aim. This protocol describes a systematic review that evaluates the effects of physician substitution by mid-level providers (nurse practitioners, physician assistants or nurses) in primary healthcare for older people and long-term care facilities. The secondary aim is to describe facilitators and barriers to the implementation of physician substitution in these settings. Background. Healthcare for older people is undergoing major changes, due to population ageing and reforms that shift care to the community. Besides, relatively few medical students are pursuing careers in healthcare for older people. Innovative solutions are needed to guarantee the quality of healthcare and to contain costs. A solution might be shifting care from physicians to mid-level providers. To date, no systematic review on this topic exits to guide policymaking. Design. A quantitative systematic literature review using Cochrane methods. Methods. The following databases will be searched for original research studies that quantitatively compare care provided by a physician to the same care provided by a mid-level provider: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, CENTRAL and Web of Science. Study selection, data extraction and quality appraisal will be conducted independently by two reviewers. Data synthesis will consist of a qualitative analysis of the data. Funding of the review was confirmed in August 2013 by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport of the Netherlands. Discussion. This review will contribute to the knowledge on effects of physician substitution in healthcare for older people and factors that influence the outcomes. This knowledge will guide professionals and policy administrators in their decisions to optimize healthcare for older people.

Physiotherapy with integrated virtual reality for patients with complex chronic low back pain: protocol for a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial (VARIETY study).
Slatman, S. ; Ostelo, R. ; Goor, H. van ; Staal, J.B. ; Knoop, J.
2023, Article / Letter to editor (BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, vol. 24, iss. 1, (2023), pp. 132)BACKGROUND: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most common chronic pain condition worldwide. Currently, primary care physiotherapy is one of the main treatment options, but effects of this treatment are small. Virtual Reality (VR) could be an adjunct to physiotherapy care, due to its multimodal features. The primary aim of this study is to assess the (cost-)effectiveness of physiotherapy with integrated multimodal VR for patients with complex CLBP, compared to usual primary physiotherapy care. METHODS: A multicenter, two-arm, cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) including 120 patients with CLBP from 20 physiotherapists will be conducted. Patients in the control group will receive 12nweeks of usual primary physiotherapy care for CLBP. Patients in the experimental group will receive treatment consisting of 12nweeks of physiotherapy with integrated, immersive, multimodal, therapeutic VR. The therapeutic VR consists of the following modules: pain education, activation, relaxation and distraction. The primary outcome measure is physical functioning. Secondary outcome measures include pain intensity, pain-related fears, pain self-efficacy and economic measures. Effectiveness of the experimental intervention compared to the control intervention on primary and secondary outcome measures will be analyzed on an intention-to-treat principle, using linear mixed-model analyses. DISCUSSION: This pragmatic, multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial, will determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of physiotherapy with integrated, personalized, multimodal, immersive VR in favor of usual physiotherapy care for patients with CLBP. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study is prospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT05701891).
