Abstract Attention for Meaning-Making Processes: Context and Practice of Spiritual Care in the Earthquake Area of GroningenIn the North of the Netherlands spiritual caregivers have been employed to respond to the social and personal needs resulting from human induced earthquakes. In the Netherlands knowledge on spiritual care in times of disasters is limited. Central to the present study are two questions: How is spiritual care being put into practice in Groningen? And how do the spiritual caregivers cooperate with others in psychosocial care and in the social domain? This article describes the context, the reasons spiritual care came to be provided and the primary activities of the spiritual caregivers during their initial year of practice.

Abstract Background Combined lifestyle interventions (CLIs) are designed to help people who are overweight or obese maintain a healthy new lifestyle. The CooL intervention is a CLI in the Netherlands, in which lifestyle coaches counsel adults and children (and/or their parents) who are obese or at high risk of obesity to achieve a sustained healthier lifestyle. The intervention consists of coaching on lifestyle in group and individual sessions, addressing the topics of physical activity, dietary behaviours, sleep, stress management and behavioural change. The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation process of the Coaching on Lifestyle (CooL) intervention and its facilitating and impeding factors. Methods Mixed methods were used in this action-oriented study. Both quantitative (number of referrals, attendance lists of participants and questionnaires) and qualitative (group and individual interviews, observations, minutes and open questions) data were collected among participants, lifestyle coaches, project group members and other stakeholders. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research was used to analyse the data. Results CooL was evaluated by stakeholders and participants as an accessible and useful programme, because of its design and content and the lifestyle coaches’ approach. However, stakeholders indicated that the lifestyle coaches need to become more familiar in the health care network and public sectors in the Netherlands. Lifestyle coaching is a novel profession and the added value of the lifestyle coach is not always acknowledged by all health care providers. Lifestyle coaches play a crucial role in ensuring the impact of CooL by actively networking, using clear communication materials and creating stakeholders’ support and understanding. Conclusion The implementation process needs to be strengthened in terms of creating support for and providing clear information about lifestyle coaching. The CooL intervention was implemented in multiple regions, thanks to the efforts of many stakeholders. Lifestyle coaches should engage in networking activities and entrepreneurship to boost the implementation process. It takes considerable time for a lifestyle coach to become fully incorporated in primary care.

Institutional Psychiatry

The term “social psychiatry” became current in the Netherlands from the late 1920s. Its meaning was imprecise. In a general way, the term referred to psychiatric approaches of mental illness that focused on its social origins and backgrounds. In this broad interpretation social psychiatry was connected to the psycho-hygienic goal of preventing mental disorders, but also to epidemiological research on the distribution of mental illness among the population at large. The treatment called “active therapy”, introduced in Dutch mental asylums in the 1920s and geared towards the social rehabilitation of the mentally ill (especially through work), was also linked with social psychiatry. In a more narrow sense social psychiatry indicated what before the 1960s was usually called “after-care” and “pre-care”: forms of medical and social assistance for patients who had been discharged from the mental asylum or who had not yet been institutionalized. This article focuses on the twentieth-century development of Dutch social psychiatry in this more narrow sense, without, however, losing sight of its wider context: on the one hand institutional psychiatry for the insane and on the other the mental hygiene movement and several outpatient mental health facilities, which targeted a variety of groups with psychosocial and behavioural problems. In fact, the vacillating position of pre- and after-care services was again and again determined by developments in these adjacent psychiatric and mental health care domains. This overview is chronologically divided into three periods: the period between and during the two world wars, when psychiatric pre- and aftercare came into being; the post-Second World War era until 1982, when the Social-Psychiatric Services expanded and professionalized; and the 1980s and 1990s, when they became integrated in community mental health centres.

On Saturday, March 27th, 2010, the Dutch Performing Arts Medicine Association (NVDMG) organized a scientific and artistic Jubilee symposium “Genees & Kunst 10” for its 5th anniversary and 10th member assembly, at the University Medical Centre Utrecht (UMCU), The Netherlands. During his opening speech, dr. Rietveld, president of NVDMG, mentioned the successful first 5 years and the vitality of the NVDMG, and he emphasized the importance of performing arts medicine, given the large proportion of performing artists (at least 14% of all patients) in an average Dutch family physician’s practice. Scientific presentations, interspersed with dance and music performances, were given by several medical specialists. Abstracts of these presentations are published here as the symposium proceedings

In recent years, across all health care disciplines, the higher quality and volume of specific literature on health issues pertaining to performing artists are allowing ever more specialised and targeted evidence-informed interventions to be delivered. Whether performing artists recognise the new-found knowledge as well as the growth in training and domain-specific expertise of certain dedicated health professionals is unclear. Developing and maintaining good communication and the establishment of trust between performing artists, educators, and health professionals is crucial to facilitate better management of injuries in performing artists.

Abstract The current definition of health from the World Health Organisation seems to no longer meet the changes in the current Dutch health system. An alternative approach which puts emphasis on health, not disease, is Positive Health. The current and future developments in the health care system in the Netherlands are demanding different mentality and practice methods of social work and welfare professionals. In order to measure the extent to which there is support for positive health among the social welfare professionals, research must be carried out into the attitude of the professionals. In this study, the attitudes towards the concept of Positive Health of social welfare professionals are examined. Methods A mixed-method study was used, in which both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. By means of a survey (n = 128) and semi-structured interviews (n = 9), the attitude and working method of social workers were explored. Results Social welfare professionals find that the concept Positive health can contribute to an increase in resilience and self-management in citizens and patients. However, social welfare professionals wonder if all citizens and patients have the ability to self-manage skills. In addition, social welfare professionals think all domains of the positive health concept are regarded as important in defining health. Conclusions The concept of positive health is in line with the attitude of social welfare professionals and has support for implementation. In order to introduce the concept Positive Health further and to make it stand out in the social welfare domain, more attention needs to be paid to disseminating the concept, broadening the knowledge of the professionals and practical tools for practice. Key messages Positive Health concept connects professionals in health care and welfare. The concept of positive health is in line with the perceptions of health of the social welfare professionals.

The Subject

Over the years I have found that along with the obligation to find suitable topics for these quarterly editorials comes an opportunity for me to sort out and organize some otherwise random thoughts and ideas. It is as if by the act of writing that I can (at least sometimes) ultimately make better sense to myself and, hopefully, to you as well. In this vein some of my recent experiences have forced me into rethinking some of my ideas about nontraditional therapies, particularly as they relate to performing arts medicine. Unconventional medicine is a topic that has received greatly increased attention in the recent past by the general public and the media, as well as by health care providers and health insurers. Because those involved with performing arts medicine have reason to have a special interest in this area, an updated new look at the subject for readers of MPPA seems justified.

Abstract Background This study evaluated the feasibility of a short-term, multimodal trauma-focused treatment approach adapted specifically for unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) in the Netherlands. This approach aims to overcome barriers to mental health care and to reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Methods An uncontrolled study was conducted, evaluating the main request for help, treatment integrity and feasibility, and the course of symptoms of PTSD (Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale-13) and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire modified for Adolescents). Results In total, 41 minors were included in the study. Most participants were male (n = 27), predominately from Eritrea (75.6%) with a mean age of 16.5 (SD = 1.5). Minors mostly reported psychological problems, such as problems sleeping, and psychosocial problems, including worries about family reunification. Deviations from the approach were made to meet the current needs of the minors. Factors limiting the feasibility of the approach were often related to continuous stressors, such as news concerning asylum status. Conclusions The results provide a first indication that this approach partly overcomes barriers to mental health care and emphasize the added value of collaborating with intercultural mediators and offering outreach care. Trial registration: The study was registered in the Netherlands Trial Register (NL8585), 10 April 2020, Retrospectively registered, https://www.trialregister.nl/trial/8585.
