The healthcare sector ranks among the largest consumers of single-use plastics, generating substantial amounts of waste, an issue strikingly captured in Maria Koijck's breast surgery photography. To reduce the environmental impact, biobased and biodegradable polymers are promising alternatives to conventional …

Background: As populations age, maintaining physical activity (PA) is essential to reduce chronic disease risk and preserve functional independence in older adults. Technology-supported interventions, such as wearables, mobile applications, and web-based platforms, have emerged as effective tools to …

BACKGROUND: Prevention programs can encourage parents to take safety measures to prevent burn injury in children under 5 years of age.

Aim This study aims to identify key determinants and strategies for effectively implementing a reflection method to support adequate use of the ‘Informal Care’ guideline within community nursing. The SPARK (Self & Peer Assessment to Reflect on Quality Standards) reflection study, is a structured group …

INTRODUCTION: Physical Activity (PA) is essential for enhancing the physical function of pre-frail and frail older adults. However, among this group, PA-levels vary significantly. Identifying the factors contributing to these differences could support tailored PA interventions. This study aims to examine …

Background & aim Adequate protein intake is essential during recovery from illness to prevent complications such as malnutrition, sarcopenia, and delayed wound healing. Mobile applications may support self-monitoring and early detection of inadequate intake. This study evaluated the concurrent validity …
