In this study, we address the function of role models for entrepreneurship students. By using entrepreneurs as role models, students can get a better and realistic picture of the complexity of the entrepreneurial path. Choosing whom to interview as role model can be diverse, but it can be problematic if, as a result of that choice, the learning effect in the same group of students is different.

Background Although enhancing physical activity (PA) is important for physical and cognitive recovery of stroke patients, the role of nurses in supporting an active lifestyle is underused during the inpatient rehabilitation treatment. Objective 1) To identify nurses’ perspectives on their current and potential role; 2) To identify influencing factors to support an active lifestyle of stroke patients during inpatient rehabilitation treatment. Methods - Three focus groups with 18 nurses (EQF level 3-6) were conducted in three Dutch rehabilitation centres (Den Haag, Leiden, Arnhem) each focus group consisting of 5-8 nurses. - The transcribed data were analysed using framework method. The data was coded by 2 researchers. Afterwards checked to align the codes and themes until consensus was reached.
Clear role descriptions promote the quality of interprofessional collaboration. Currently, it is unclear to what extent healthcare professionals consider pharmaceutical care (PC) activities to be nurses’ responsibility in order to obtain best care quality. This study aimed to create and evaluate a framework describing potential nursing tasks in PC and to investigate nurses’ level of responsibility. A framework of PC tasks and contextual factors was developed based on literature review and previous DeMoPhaC project results. Tasks and context were cross-sectionally evaluated using an online survey in 14 European countries. A total of 923 nurses, 240 physicians and 199 pharmacists responded. The majority would consider nurses responsible for tasks within: medication self-management (86–97%), patient education (85–96%), medication safety (83–95%), monitoring adherence (82–97%), care coordination (82–95%), and drug monitoring (78–96%). The most prevalent level of responsibility was ‘with shared responsibility’. Prescription management tasks were considered to be nurses’ responsibility by 48–81% of the professionals. All contextual factors were indicated as being relevant for nurses’ role in PC by at least 74% of the participants. No task nor contextual factor was removed from the framework after evaluation. This framework can be used to enable healthcare professionals to openly discuss allocation of specific (shared) responsibilities and tasks.
