‘Zuster, ik wil naar het toilet!’
Moeke, D. ; Rombout, Betty
2017, Article / Letter to editor (ICT&Health Magazine, vol. 2017, iss. 4, (2017), pp. 44-45)Kenmerkend bij de langdurige zorg, is dat er op bepaalde momenten van de dag overduidelijk meer vraag is vanuit cliënten dan de andere momenten. Het is een hele uitdaging om met die pieken en dalen mee te bewegen met het beschikbare personeel, maar dit gebeurt momenteel niet volgens Dennis Moeke, senior onderzoeker bij KennisDC Logistiek van de Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen. De laatste jaren ligt de focus op kleinschaligheid, dus om een kleine zorgomgeving te creëren in de ouderenzorg. Wanneer dit ook kleinschalig georganiseerd wordt met minder personeel, dan is er te weinig personeel beschikbaar op de piekmomenten. Om naast het aanpakken van dit probleem, een hoger serviceniveau te bereiken, zijn er volgens Moeke verschillende oplossingen mogelijk. Om te starten, moet men meer luisteren naar de cliënt, maar ook zijn vragen verzamelen om een betere planning te kunnen maken. In september wordt er gestart met een pilot voor tools die helpen met het optimaal inplannen van personeel. Hiermee wordt precies berekend wat de wachttijden zijn bij kortere of langere loopafstanden tussen cliënten. De tool geeft ook aan wat de beste verdeling van diensten is om zo te komen tot een vermindering van wachttijden.

Zelfsturing gestuurd : Hoe begeleiding kan bijdragen aan ontwikkeling van zelfsturend (leer)vermogen
Verheijen, Ellen ; Jagtman, Petra
2014, Article / Letter to editor (Opleiding en Ontwikkeling, vol. 27, iss. 1, (2014), pp. 6-11)Doordat er meer verantwoordelijkheden en bevoegdheden bij individuele medewerkers komen te liggen, wordt zelfsturing steeds belangrijker.

Zelf sturend: let op de spatie!
Schuiling, G. (Gertjan)
2008, Article / Letter to editor (M & O: Tijdschrift voor Management en Organisatie, (2008))Ondertitel: Industriële productie zonder groepschefs. Een casestudie. Van het prototype van maakbaarheid – de industriële productie – is het de vraag of zij in de Westerse wereld nog toekomst heeft. Onder de naam offshoring is een nieuwe ronde gaande in het verplaatsen van productie naar vestigingen van het eigen bedrijf in lagelonenlanden. Velen suggereren dat we hier straks alleen nog het innovatieve denkwerk doen en dat al het maakwerk ergens anders plaatsvindt. Maar hoe zit het met de belofte van de negentiende eeuw dat de industriële productie door de economische logica van het kapitalisme zowel continue technologische ontwikkeling als nieuwe sociale verhoudingen tot stand brengt? Gaat deze belofte mee in de offshoring of gaan we dat hier nog meemaken?
Young at heart, old at work? Relations between age, (meta-)stereotypes, self-categorization, and retirement attitudes
Otten, Sabine ; Lange, A.H. de ; Heijden, Beatrice van der ; Oderkerk, Frank ; Bal, Matthijs ; Zacher, Hannes
2015, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Vocational Behavior, (2015))The aims of this study were to examine howworkers negative age stereotypes (i.e., denying older workers ability to develop) and negative meta-stereotypes (i.e., beliefs that the majority of colleagues feel negative about older workers) are related to their attitudes towards retirement (i.e., occupational future time perspective and intention to retire), and whether the strength of these relationships is influenced by workers self-categorization as an “older” person. Results of a study among Dutch taxi drivers provided mixed support for the hypotheses. Negative metastereotypes, but not negative age stereotypes,were associatedwith fewer perceived opportunities until retirement and, in turn, a stronger intention to retire. Self-categorization moderated the relationships between negative age (meta-)stereotypes and occupational future time perspective. However, contrary to expectations, the relations were stronger among workers with a low self-categorization as an older person in comparison with workers with a high self-categorization in this regard. Overall, results highlight the importance of psychosocial processes in the study of retirement intentions and their antecedents.

Work related risk factors for musculoskeletal complaints in the nursing profession: results of a questionnaire survey.
Engels, J.A. ; Gulden, J.W. van der ; Senden, T.F. ; 't Hof, B. van
1996, Article / Letter to editor (Occupational and Environmental Medicine, vol. 53, iss. 9, (1996), pp. 636-641)OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints of the back, arms or neck, and legs among nurses, and to investigate the relation between these complaints and various work related and personal variables. METHODS: A questionnaire survey was carried out in four nursing homes in The Netherlands. RESULTS: The response was 95% and resulted in 846 completed questionnaires. It was found that a large proportion of the subjects regularly had back complaints (36%) but also had arm or neck (30%) and leg complaints (16%). Almost all respondents (89%) considered nursing work as physically strenuous. Most of them complained of working under time pressure (69%), increased work pressure (70%), and having no opportunity to take a break from the work (70%). The physical variables which seem to trouble the subjects most were lifting (65%), working in awkward postures (47%), and stooping (34%). Moreover, 53% of the subjects responded that the ergonomic lay out of the ward was disagreeable. Most of the work related variables under study seemed to be associated with musculoskeletal complaints. For all types of complaints the strongest associations were found with having to lift heavy loads. Apart from physical stress various aspects of work pressure showed strong associations with the occurrence of musculoskeletal complaints. The variables on the ergonomy of the ward showed less clear associations with musculoskeletal complaints than were found for physical stress and work pressure. CONCLUSIONS: From these results it may be concluded that future research of health risks of nursing work should have a wider focus than the relation between physical workload and low back pain.
Work participation of patients with musculoskeletal disorders: is this addressed in physical therapy practice?
Oswald, W. ; Hutting, N. ; Engels, J.A. ; Staal, J.B. ; Nijhuis-van der Sanden, M.W.G. ; Heerkens, Y.F.
2017, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, vol. 12, (2017), pp. 27)BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders are the main complaints for visiting a physical therapist (PT) in primary health care; they have a negative effect on an individual's quality of life and result in a major cost to society. Qualitative research has shown that physical therapists (PTs) treating patients with these disorders experience barriers in the integration of occupational factors within their practice, and also revealed a lack of cooperation between PTs and (other) occupational healthcare providers. The aim of this study is to quantitatively investigate how generalist PTs in the Netherlands, who treat patients with musculoskeletal disorders, currently integrate occupational factors within their practice, and to identify their opinions and needs with regard to enhancing the integration of the patient's work within physical therapy practice. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among generalist PTs who treat working-age (18-67 years) patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Generalist PTs were contacted for participation via digital news-mails and asked to fill out an online survey which was developed based on the results of a recent qualitative study. The survey consisted of: i) demographics of the participants, ii) questions on how generalist PTs currently integrate occupational factors within their practice, and iii) asked their opinion about the integration of occupational factors within physical therapy. The PTs were also asked about their needs with regard to the integration of occupational factors and with regard to cooperation with other (occupational) health professionals. All answers (using Likert scales) are presented as the number and percentage of the respondents reporting those specific answers, whereas all other answers are presented as means and standard deviations. RESULTS: Of the 142 respondents, 64% indicated that occupational factors should be addressed to a greater extent within physical therapy. To have the possibility to bill for a workplace assessment (60.6%) and more knowledge about laws and regulations (50%) were identified as needs of the respondents. Only 14.8% of the respondents indicated that they communicate with or consult a PT specialized in occupational health. Only 12.7% of the participants who do not have a specialized PT within their practice sometimes/regularly refer patients to a specialized PT. CONCLUSIONS: Although generalist PTs address occupational factors within their practice, there is room for improvement. This study also identified a lack of cooperation between generalist PTs and PTs specialized in occupational health.

Woonwensen van mensen met een autismespectrumstoornis
Rengs, Fleur van ; Teunisse, J.P.W.M. ; Nas, Harold ; Veeken, Liza van der
2013, Article / Letter to editor (Engagement met Autisme, vol. 2013, iss. 1, (2013), pp. 24-25)Dit onderzoek is gedaan in opdracht van het Lectoraat Levensloopbegeleiding bij Autisme. Het Lectoraat heeft van de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Autisme de vraag gekregen om onderzoek te doen naar de woonwensen van mensen met ASS. Deze vraag is ontstaan naar aanleiding van een kennistekort op dit gebied. Voor zover bekend is voorafgaand aan het huidige onderzoek niet eerder aan mensen met ASS in de leeftijd van 25 tot 55 gevraagd wat zij zouden willen in hun ideale woonsituatie. Het doel van dit onderzoek was om een eerste inventarisatie naar deze woonwensen te doen. De hoofdvraag van het onderzoek was als volgt: Welke wensen hebben normaal- tot hoogbegaafde mensen met een autismespectrumstoornis in de leeftijd van 25 tot 55 jaar als zij het voor het zeggen zouden hebben met betrekking tot wonen? De belangrijkste conclusie van het onderzoek is dat er rust aanwezig is op alle gebieden die te maken hebben met het wonen. Dit houdt in dat zowel de woonomgeving rustig is qua geluid, als dat de woning qua indeling rust uitstraalt. Verder is het erg belangrijk dat men zelf de regie heeft en dus bijvoorbeeld zelf kan kiezen hoe het huis wordt ingericht en om wel of geen contact met anderen aan te gaan.

Why peer assessment helps to improve clinical performance in undergraduate physical therapy education : A mixed methods design
Maas, M.J.M. ; Nijhuis-van der Sanden, M.W.G. ; Wees, Philip van der ; Sluijsmans, Dominique ; Vleuten, Cees van der ; Heerkens, Y.F.
2014, Article / Letter to editor (BMC Medical Education, vol. 14, iss. 117, (2014))Background: Peer Assessment (PA) in health professions education encourages students to develop a critical attitude towards their own and their peers’ performance. We designed a PA task to assess students' clinical skills (including reasoning, communication, physical examination and treatment skills) in a role-play that simulated physical therapy (PT) practice. Students alternately performed in the role of PT, assessor, and patient. Oral face-to-face feedback was provided as well as written feedback and scores.This study aims to explore the impact of PA on the improvement of clinical performance of undergraduate PT students. Methods: The PA task was analyzed and decomposed into task elements. A qualitative approach was used to explore students' perceptions of the task and the task elements. Semi-structured interviews with second year students were conducted to explore the perceived impact of these task elements on performance improvement. Students were asked to select the elements perceived valuable, to rank them from highest to lowest learning value, and to motivate their choices. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed, using a phenomenographical approach and following template analysis guidelines. A quantitative approach was used to describe the ranking results. Results: Quantitative analyses showed that the perceived impact on learning varied widely. Performing the clinical task in the PT role, was assigned to the first place (1), followed by receiving expert feedback (2), and observing peer performance (3). Receiving peer feedback was not perceived the most powerful task element. Qualitative analyses resulted in three emerging themes: pre-performance, true-performance, and post-performance triggers for improvement. Each theme contained three categories: learning activities, outcomes, and conditions for learning. Intended learning activities were reported, such as transferring prior learning to a new application context and unintended learning activities, such as modelling a peer’s performance. Outcomes related to increased self-confidence, insight in performance standards and awareness of improvement areas. Conditions for learning referred to the quality of peer feedback. Conclusions: PA may be a powerful tool to improve clinical performance, although peer feedback is not perceived the most powerful element. Peer assessors in undergraduate PT education use idiosyncratic strategies to assess their peers’ performance.
Why is it so difficult to prove that rapid response systems improve patient outcome? : Directions for further research
Hoeven, Hans van der ; Fikkers, B.G. ; Schoonhoven, Lisette ; Mintjes, Joke ; Simmes, Friede
2012, Article / Letter to editor (Netherlands Journal of Critical Care, vol. 16, iss. 6, (2012), pp. 195-199)The implementation of rapid response systems (RRS) is based on the knowledge that deteriorating physiological processes are frequently present for hours or days before clear clinical deterioration is recognized [1,2]. It is assumed that this physiological deterioration is often treatable and that treatment will have greater effect when initiated early [3]. The RRS consists of an afferent limb, including “crisis detection” and “response triggering” and an efferent limb, the rapid response team (RRT) [4]. Even though robust evidence to support the effectiveness of the RRS is lacking [5-10] the system has been implemented worldwide. For example, Dutch hospitals are required to implement a patient safety programme including an RRS before 2013 [11]. This article explores the reasons why it is so difficult to prove the effectiveness of an RRS. We discuss the study designs that have been used and the various outcome measures in order to estimate the effects of an RRS. Finally, we make suggestions for future research.
Why do they study there? Diary research into students’ learning space choices in higher education
Dewulf, Geert ; Voordt, Theo van der ; Beckers, R.
2015, Article / Letter to editor (Higher Education Research & Development, vol. 35, iss. 1, (2015), pp. 142-157)Higher education learning and teaching methods have changed while most educational buildings are still rather traditional. Yet, there is an increasing interest in whether we can educate todays higher education students in yesterdays buildings. This paper aims to contribute to this debate by studying the learning space choices of higher education students in relation to their learning activities, personal characteristics and other considerations that may play a role in choosing particular learning spaces. A diary research method was adopted, in which 52 business management students of a Dutch University of Applied Sciences participated. They reported which learning activities they worked on during a week, where and why there. The diary format builds on the literature from various disciplines and was used in combination with a questionnaire and interviews. The findings show significant correlations between the students’ learning space choices and their learning activities, their personal characteristics and their individual preferences. Because of the shift from a teacher-led approach to a student-led approach, higher education institutions need to provide more informal learning spaces in open areas and quiet learning spaces for individuals and small groups.

Which resources moderate the effects of demanding work schedules on nurses working in residential elder care? A longitudinal study.
Peters, V. ; Houkes, I. ; Rijk, A.E. de ; Bohle, P.L. ; Engels, J.A. ; Nijhuis, F.J.
2016, Article / Letter to editor (International Journal of Nursing Studies, vol. 58, (2016), pp. 31-46)BACKGROUND: Shiftwork is a major job demand for nurses and has been related to various negative consequences. Research suggests that personal and job resources moderate the impact of work schedules on stress, health and well-being. OBJECTIVES: This longitudinal study examined whether the interactions of personal and job resources with work schedule demands predicted work engagement and emotional exhaustion in nursing. DESIGN: This longitudinal study included two waves of data collection with a one year follow-up using self-report questionnaires among 247 nurses working shifts or irregular working hours in residential care for the elderly in the Netherlands. METHODS: Moderated structural equation modelling was conducted to examine the interactions between personal and job resources and work schedule demands. Two work schedule demands were assessed: type of work schedule (demanding vs. less demanding) and average weekly working hours. Two personal resources, active coping and healthy lifestyle, and two job resources, work schedule control and the work schedule fit with nurses' private life, were assessed. RESULTS: Results showed that the work schedule fit with nurses' private life buffered the relationship between work schedule demands and emotional exhaustion one year later. Furthermore, the work schedule fit with nurses' private life increased work engagement one year later when work schedule demands were high. Work schedule control strengthened the positive relationship between work schedule demands and emotional exhaustion one year later. The personal resources, active coping and healthy lifestyle were no moderators in this model. CONCLUSION: Nurses suffer less from decreasing work engagement and emotional exhaustion due to work schedule demands when their work schedules fit with their private lives. Work schedule control did not buffer, but strengthened the positive relationship between weekly working hours and emotional exhaustion one year later. Job resources appeared to be more important for nurses' well-being than personal resources. These findings highlight the importance of the fit of a work schedule with nurse's private life, if the work schedule is demanding.

Which instruments can detect submaximal physical and functional capacity in patients with chronic nonspecific back pain? A systematic review.
Mooren - van der Meer, S ; Trippolini, M.A. ; Palen, J. van der ; Verhoeven, J. ; Reneman, M.F.
2013, Article / Letter to editor (Spine, vol. 38, iss. 25, (2013), pp. E1608-15)STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the validity of instruments that claim to detect submaximal capacity when maximal capacity is requested in patients with chronic nonspecific musculoskeletal pain. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Several instruments have been developed to measure capacity in patients with chronic pain. The detection of submaximal capacity can have major implications for patients. The validity of these instruments has never been systematically reviewed. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed including the following databases: Web of Knowledge (including PubMed and Cinahl), Scopus, and Cochrane. Two reviewers independently selected the articles based on the title and abstract according to the study selection criteria. Studies were included when they contained original data and when they objectified submaximal physical or functional capacity when maximal physical or functional capacity was requested. Two authors independently extracted data and rated the quality of the articles. The included studies were scored according to the subscales "Criterion Validity" and "Hypothesis Testing" of the COSMIN checklist. A Best Evidence Synthesis was performed. RESULTS: Seven studies were included, 5 of which used a reference standard for submaximal capacity. Three studies were of good methodological quality and validly detected submaximal capacity with specificity rates between 75% and 100%. CONCLUSION: There is strong evidence that submaximal capacity can be detected in patients with chronic low back pain with a lumbar motion monitor or visual observations accompanying a functional capacity evaluation lifting test.

2021, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Sports Sciences, vol. 39, iss. 3, (2021), pp. 322-331)The current double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with two parallel groups aimed to assess the impact of whey protein supplementation on recovery of muscle function and muscle soreness following eccentric exercise. During a 9-day period, forty recreationally active males received twice daily supplementation with either whey protein (PRO; 60 g/day) or an iso-energetic amount of carbohydrate (CON). Muscle function and soreness were assessed before, and 0, 3, 24, 48, and 72 h after performing 100 drop jumps. Recovery of isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) did not significantly differ between groups (timextreatment, P = 0.56). In contrast, the recovery of isokinetic MVC at 90°·s(-1) was faster in CON as opposed to PRO (timextreatment interaction, P = 0.044). Recovery of isokinetic MVC at 180°·s(-1) was also faster in CON as opposed to PRO (timextreatment interaction, P = 0.011). Recovery of countermovement jump performance did not differ between groups (timextreatment interaction, P = 0.52). Muscle soreness, CK and CRP showed a transient increase over time (P < 0.001), with no differences between groups. In conclusion, whey protein supplementation does not accelerate recovery of muscle function or attenuate muscle soreness and inflammation during 3 days of recovery from a single bout of eccentric exercise.
Where do People Interact in High-rise Apartment Buildings? Exploring the Influence of Personal and Neighborhood Characteristics
Nguyen, T. ; Berg, P.E.W. van den ; Kemperman, A.D.A.M. ; Mohammadi, M.
2020, Article / Letter to editor (vol. 17, iss. 13, (2020))Early studies conclude that high-rise apartment buildings present challenges for people’s quality of life, resulting in social isolation, social annoyance and anonymity for residents. Nevertheless, empirical research into factors supporting social interaction in high-rise apartment buildings is still scarce. This study aims to investigate how often and where people in high-rise neighborhoods interact, and how this is affected by personal and neighborhoods characteristics. A mixture of both quantitative and qualitative methods was used including social interaction diaries and questionnaires among 274 residents, in-depth interviews with 45 residents and objective measurement of the physical environments in four high-rise apartment buildings for low in-income people in Hanoi, Vietnam. Results demonstrate that social interaction is influenced by a number of personal and neighborhood characteristics. Furthermore, most social interactions—also gathering and accompanying playing children—take place in the circulation areas of the apartment buildings. However, the use of these spaces for different purposes of interaction is found to have negative impact on people’s privacy, the feeling of safety and cleanliness of the shared spaces. The findings of this study provide information for planners and designers on how to design and improve high-rise apartment buildings that support social interaction.
When I'm 64: Psychological contract breach, work motivation and the moderating roles of future time perspective and regulatory focus
Jong, Reinhard de ; Schaufeli, Wilmar ; Heijden, Beatrice van der ; Bal, Matthijs ; Lange, A.H. de
2011, Article / Letter to editor (Work and Stress, vol. 25, iss. 4, (2011), pp. 338-354)There is an increasing need for managers to understand what motivates younger versus older workers to continue work within their company. We believe that this two-wave study among 90 Dutch employees is the first to examine: (1) the cross-lagged relationships between breach of psychological contract (which includes transactional and relational obligations) and intrinsic work motivation, and (2) the moderating role of the age-related variables future time perspective and regulatory focus. Regulatory focus concerns the orientation (either promotion-focused or prevention-focused) by which an individual pursues their goals. Based on psychological contract theory, we expected and found that relational contract breach predicts lower work motivation. Furthermore, based on lifespan developmental and regulatory focus theory, we assumed that this relationship would be stronger when workers experienced an open future time perspective and a promotion focus rather than a prevention focus. The results showed that future time perspective indeed had a strengthening, and prevention focus a reducing moderating effect in the relationship between psychological contract breach and work motivation. However, no significant effects for promotion focus were found. These findings indicate that age-related processes such as future time perspective and regulatory focus are important variables to include in future psychological contract research.
When do young adults stop practising a sport? An event history analysis on the impact of four major life events.
Houten, J. van ; Kraaykamp, G. ; Breedveld, K.
2017, Article / Letter to editor (vol. 52, (2017), pp. 858-874)This article investigates the relationship between four major life events and stopping sport participation in young adulthood. We employ a neo-Weberian theoretical framework related to changes in temporal and social resources to explain how beginning to work, starting to live on one’s own, starting to cohabit or getting married, and the birth of one’s first child affect the risk to stop practising a sport and to end a sport club membership. We used detailed retrospective life-course data from the Dutch SportersMonitor 2010 on 3540 individuals to examine the sport careers and major life events of young adults (aged 18–35). Our event history analyses indicate that the risk to stop practising a sport increases when young adults begin to work, move out to live on their own, and start cohabiting or get married. The risk of ending a sport club membership rises when young adults start to live on their own and when they cohabit or get married. The birth of the first child increases the risks of both stopping a sport and ending club membership for young women, but not for young men.

What environmental factors influence resumption of valued activities post stroke: a systematic review of qualitative and quantitative findings
Jellema, S. ; Hees, S.G.M. van ; Zajec, J. ; Sande, R van der ; Nijhuis-van der Sanden, M.W.G. ; Steultjens, E.M.J.
2017, Article / Letter to editor (Clinical Rehabilitation, vol. 31, iss. 7, (2017), pp. 936-947)Objective: Identify the environmental factors that influence stroke-survivors' reengagement in personally valued activities and determine what specific environmental factors are related to specific valued activity types. Data sources: PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched until June 2016 using multiple search-terms for stroke, activities, disability, and home and community environments. Review methods: An integrated mixed-method systematic review of qualitative, quantitative and mixed-design studies was conducted. Two researchers independently identified relevant studies, assessed their methodological quality and extracted relevant findings. To validly compare and combine the various findings, all findings were classified and grouped by environmental category and level of evidence. Results: The search yielded 4024 records; 69 studies were included. Most findings came from low-evidence-level studies such as single qualitative studies. All findings were consistent in that the following factors facilitated reengagement post-stroke: personal adapted equipment; accessible environments; transport; services; education and information. Barriers were: others' negative attitudes and behaviour; long distances and inconvenient environmental conditions (such as bad weather). Each type of valued activity, such as mobility or work, had its own pattern of environmental influences, social support was a facilitator to all types of activities. Although in many qualitative studies others' attitudes, behaviour and stroke-related knowledge were seen as important for reengagement, these factors were hardly studied quantitatively. Conclusion: A diversity of environmental factors was related to stroke-survivors' reengagement. Most findings came from low-evidence-level studies so that evidence on causal relationships was scarce. In future, more higher-level-evidence studies, for example on the attitudes of significant others, should be conducted.

What do we know about rheumatoid arthritis patients' support needs for self-management? A scoping review
Zuidema, R ; Repping-Wuts, H ; Evers, A.W.M. ; Gaal, B.G.I. van ; Achterberg, Theo van
2015, Article / Letter to editor (International Journal of Nursing Studies, vol. 52, iss. 10, (2015), pp. 1617-1624)Background: Self-management support is essential to perform self-management behavior. To provide this support in an effective way, insight in the needs for self-management support is necessary. Objective: To give an overview of self-management support needs from the perspective of rheumatoid arthritis patients to help nurses to improve self-management. Design: We conducted a scoping review for the period of January 2002 to May 2013 using the following inclusion criteria: (1) studies on adult patients aged 18 years and older, (2) studies from the perspective of rheumatoid arthritis patients, (3) studies reporting results on support needs, and (4) empirical studies using any design. Data sources: We searched in PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Review methods: Following the steps of a scoping review, we (1) identified the research question, (2) identified relevant studies, (3) selected studies, (4) charted the data, and (5) collated, summarized, and reported results. We incorporated the optional sixth step of consultation of a multidisciplinary panel of professionals and patients to validate our findings. Results: Seventeen articles were included. Our review shows that rheumatoid arthritis patients have informational, emotional, social and practical support needs. We found an information need for various topics, e.g. exercises and medication. Patients express a need for emotional support in daily life, given through other RA patients, colleagues and supervisors and nurses. For information needs, emotional and social support it is important that it is tailored to the individual needs of the patient. Conclusion: The most important support needs for self-management mentioned by rheumatoid arthritis patients are more informational, social and practical support and emotional support. Considering patients' perspective as a starting point for delivering support for self-management can lead to the development of nursing interventions tailored to the needs of rheumatoid arthritis patients.

What do screening tools measure? Lessons learned from SCREEN II and SNAQ(65+)
Borkent, J.W. ; Schuurman, LT ; Beelen, J. ; Linschooten, J.O ; Keller, HH ; Roodenburg, AJC ; Schueren, M.A.E. de van der
2020, Article / Letter to editor (Clinical nutrition ESPEN, vol. 38, (2020), pp. 172-177)Background: Over the last decade, different screening tools for malnutrition have been developed. Within these tools, a distinction can be made between tools that assess nutritional risk and tools that assess protein energy malnutrition. Insights in differences in characteristics of participants at risk and in differences in prevalence rates will aid in deciding which tool(s) to use in daily practice. Methods: Dutch community-dwelling older adults (n = 200, 78.2 +/- 6.9 years), not known to have specific nutrition problems, were recruited to participate in this cross-sectional study. SNAQ(65+) (low risk vs moderate/high risk) was used to assess risk of protein energy malnutrition and SCREEN II was used to assess nutrition risk (score <54 out of 64). Chi-square tests were used to test associations between demographic, health, physical and social factors and outcome of SNAQ(65+) and SCREEN II. Results: Of all participants 69.0% were at nutrition risk (SCREEN II), while 13.5% were at risk of protein energy malnutrition (SNAQ(65+)). Agreement between the two tools was poor (kappa < 0.20). Gender, BMI, living status, income, activity level and protein/energy intake were associated with SCREEN II; age, BMI, comorbidities, medication use, help at home, activity level and low basic mobility were associated with SNAQ(65+). Conclusion: SCREEN II and SNAQ(65+) measure different concepts of malnutrition and therefore identify different persons at risk. SCREEN II is more inclusive and comprises both undernutrition and overnutrition as well as different determinants that can impact on food intake, while SNAQ(65+) is solely focused on protein-energy malnutrition.
