Introduction
My research focuses on nurse-sensitive outcomes for district nursing care. I am currently working on a Delphi study, a scoping review, a secondary data analysis using nationwide claims data and a nationwide survey.

There is a lack of evidence to guide district nurses in using nurse‐sensitive patient outcomes as it is unclear how these outcomes are currently used in daily district nursing practice. Therefore, we aimed to explore (1) which nurse‐sensitive patient outcomes are measured and how these outcomes are measured, (2) how district nurses use the outcomes...
Little is known about how COVID-19 affects older patients living at home or how it affects district nursing teams providing care to these patients. This study aims to (1) explore, from the perspectives of Dutch district nurses, COVID-19′s impact on patients receiving district nursing care, district nursing teams, and their organisations during the...
Background
: Measuring nursing interventions and nurse-sensitive outcomes in a standardized manner is essential because it provides insight into the quality of delivered care. However, there is currently no systematic overview of the interventions conducted by district nurses, the evidence for the effects of these interventions, or what nurse-sensi...
Objective
To explore predictors of district nursing care utilisation for community-living (older) people in the Netherlands using claims data. To cope with growing demands in district nursing care, knowledge about the current utilisation of district nursing care is important.
Setting
District nursing care as a part of primary care.
Participants
I...
Background
• The quality of care at home is under pressure.
• Dutch policymakers aim to monitor the quality of district nursing care in terms of nurse-sensitive outcomes (i.e. patient outcomes relevant based on nurses' scope and that are influenced by nursing interventions).
• It is currently unknown what outcomes are needed to measure for distr...
Objectives
To determine nurse-sensitive outcomes in district nursing care for community-living older people. Nurse-sensitive outcomes are defined as patient outcomes that are relevant based on nurses' scope and domain of practice and that are influenced by nursing inputs and interventions.DesignA Delphi study following the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness...
Objective
To explore how to build and maintain the resilience of frontline healthcare professionals exposed to COVID-19 outbreak working conditions.
Design
Scoping review supplemented with expert interviews to validate the findings.
Setting
Hospitals.
Methods
We searched PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, bioRxiv and medRxiv systematically and gr...
Background:
Peer review is at the heart of the scientific process. With the advent of digitisation, journals started to offer electronic articles or publishing online only. A new philosophy regarding the peer review process found its way into academia: the open peer review. Open peer review as practiced by BioMed Central (BMC) is a type of peer re...
Maintaining independence is the most important goal of the majority of older people. The onset of disability in activities of daily living is one of the greatest threats to the ability of older people to live independently. Older people with a low socioeconomic status (SES) are at high risk of functional decline. It is unclear what predicts functio...

This PhD project focuses on the effectiveness of community health nursing to community living older people. It is expected that the care for the community living older people will increase. This is explained by the accelerating population of older people, the desire of older people to live home as long as possible, and the possibilities of early discharge from hospital to home. The community or district nurse plays an important role in the care for and support of older people to maintain independently. It is important that the nursing care is effective, cost-efficient and rewarded. However, there is currently no insight into the effectiveness of the care delivered by community or district nurses on health care utilization such as emergency visits or nursing home admission, and patient outcomes such as daily functioning or quality of life. In addition, it is unknown which outcomes of district nursing care are relevant and influenceable. This knowledge and insight are crucial to delivering high-quality and cost-effective care to older people with complex care needs in the community.
