The public health workforce: An assessment in the Netherlands
Full text linkThe public health workforce is a key resource of population health. How many people work in public health in the Netherlands, what are their characteristics and who does what? Remarkably, such information about the size and composition of the public health workforce in the Netherlands is lacking. A standardized system to collect these data is also unavailable. This thesis introduces a new methodology to enumerate the public health workforce. By applying it to environmental public health and preventive youth health care, our insight in the quantity and quality of the current and future public health workforce in the Netherlands has increased. The studies described in this thesis are among the first scientific studies into public health workforce enumeration in the Netherlands and the results contribute to an empirical base for public health workforce planning and development
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Cultural competence and diversity responsiveness: how to make a difference in healthcare?
Full text linkThe increasing ethnic diversity of Western societies poses new challenges to healthcare. Healthcare that is responsive to diversity has often been referred to as ‘culturally competent healthcare’. This thesis aims at contributing to a scientific basis for healthcare that effectively responds to patients’ diversity at various levels. First, the studies presented offer insight in the knowledge, attitudes and skills that individual healthcare providers should possess to provide good quality care to ethnically diverse patient populations. Second, it addresses the development, content and assessment of cultural competence in medical education. Finally, this thesis provides insight in the policies and actions healthcare organisations should implement to guarantee equitable access and quality of care for all patients. This work shows that responding effectively to patients’ diversity seems to come down to a balance between working in a patient-centred way, thereby acknowledging the uniqueness of patient experiences, and to take those groups characteristics into account that make certain groups of patients (e.g. ethnic minority groups) particularly vulnerable. The findings emerging from this work contribute to the systematic development and implementation of equitable, culturally competent and diversity-responsive healthcare
