Bij de richtlijn horen 1) een wetenschappelijke onderbouwing en 2) een samenvattingskaart. Deze richtlijn beoogt ggz-professionals - in het bijzonder verpleegkundigen - te ondersteunen bij de somatische screening op gezondheidsproblemen bij mensen met een ernstige psychische aandoening, en ondersteuning te bieden bij de planning en uitvoering van vervolgactiviteiten voor preventie en tijdige diagnostiek en behandeling van somatische problemen. Gerichte leefstijlinterventies kunnen risicofactoren voor bepaalde somatische aandoeningen gunstig beïnvloeden. De richtlijn richt zich op volwassen patiënten (18-65 jaar) met een ernstige psychische aandoening of een verhoogd risico. De aanbevelingen zijn ook toepasbaar voor de POH-ggz.

In a class or group of twenty children, - statistically - one child has a developmental language disorder (DLD). For children with DLD it is very difficult to keep up at school. The problems in the language also easily lead to miscommunication, which can cause behavioral problems. The timely recognition of a DLD is of great importance for early treatment. This way you can prevent or reduce problems at school, at home and in the children's leisure time. At the moment, children with DLD are not always identified early.Problems in language development can be identified early, for example at the age of two by child health workers. Parents, kindergarten teachers and elementary school teachers can also identify problems in children's language development. This requires a language screening instrument that can easily determine whether a child's language is 'at risk' or 'not at risk'. Early identification of language problems is important, but until today children are still missed. In this dissertation I present a new instrument for the identification of problems in the language development of children from one to six years old, the Early Language Scale (ELS). I also describe the development of the milestones in the language development of children, how good the current screening at the age of two at the health care office is and what parents think of this language screening. The ELS appears to detect DLD in young children well and can therefore make an important contribution to the detection of these problems at the primary health care.

Voor u ligt de wetenschappelijke onderbouwing van de Richtlijn Somatische screening bij patiënten met een ernstige psychische aandoening (2015). Het doel van deze richtlijn is om met name verpleegkundigen te ondersteunen bij de algemene somatische screening van patiënten in de ggz met een ernstige psychische aandoening (EPA) en de te ondernemen vervolgactiviteiten. Somatische screening is zowel klinisch als maatschappelijk zeer relevant, omdat de gezondheidsproblemen van deze patiënten groot zijn en het zorgaanbod er maar beperkt op aansluit. De richtlijn is ontwikkeld voor beroepsgroepen die zorg verlenen aan mensen met een ernstige psychische aandoening: verpleegkundigen, verpleegkundig specialisten, sociaal-psychiatrisch verpleegkundigen (SPV’en), consultatief-psychiatrisch verpleegkundigen, psychologen, psychiaters, klinisch geriaters, artsen somatisch werkzaam in de ggz, internisten in de ggz, huisartsen, POH-ggz, physician assistants in de ggz, psychomotorisch therapeuten, fysiotherapeuten, diëtisten, sociotherapeuten, ergotherapeuten en ggz-agogen. Dit rapport biedt achtergrondinformatie voor alle zorgprofessionals, zorgmanagers, kwaliteitsmedewerkers en alle anderen die betrokken zijn bij de algemene somatische zorg voor mensen met een ernstige psychische aandoening en die meer willen weten over de totstandkoming van deze richtlijn. In deze onderbouwing is beschikbare wetenschappelijke kennis samengevat en wordt aangegeven welke overige overwegingen, onder meer vanuit praktijkkennis en voorkeuren vanuit patiënten- en familieperspectief, van belang waren bij het formuleren van de richtlijnaanbevelingen. Deze richtlijn is gebaseerd op wetenschappelijke evidentie, grijze literatuur, de praktijkkennis van professionals en voorkeuren vanuit patiënten- en familieperspectief. Het ontwikkeltraject bestond uit een knelpuntanalyse, een systematische inventarisatie van bestaande richtlijnen, een veldinventarisatie van beschikbare interventies, een transparant literatuuronderzoek, diverse commentaarrondes onder de werkgroep- en klankbordgroepleden en een praktijktoets. Bij de richtlijn werden een indicatorenset en een stroomschema ontwikkeld. De indicatoren worden beschreven in dit rapport. De richtlijn zelf is apart uitgegeven (Meeuwissen et al., 2015a).

A growing interest in person-centered care from a biopsychosocial perspective has led to increased attention to structural screening. The aim of this study was to develop an easy-to-comprehend screening instrument using single items to identify a broad range of health-related problems in adult burn survivors. This study builds on earlier work regarding content generation. Focus groups and expert meetings with healthcare providers informed content refinement, resulting in the Aftercare Problem List (APL). The instrument consists of 43 items divided into nine health domains: scars, daily life functioning, scars treatment, body perceptions, stigmatization, intimacy, mental health, relationships, financial concerns, and a positive coping domain. The APL also includes a Distress Thermometer and a question inquiring about preference to discuss the results with a healthcare provider. Subsequently, the APL was completed by 102 outpatients. To test face validity, a linear regression analysis showed that problems in three health domains, i.e., scars, mental health, and body perceptions, were significantly related to higher distress. Qualitative results revealed that a minority found the items difficult which led to further adjustment of the wording and the addition of illustrations. In summation, this study subscribes to the validity of using single items to screen for burn-related problems.

If brief and easy to use self report screening tools are available to identify frail elderly, this may avoid costs and unnecessary assessment of healthy people. This study investigates the predictive validity of three self-report instruments for identifying community-dwelling frail elderly.

Screening for psychological distress in patients with cancer is currently being debated in the British Journal of Cancer. Screening has been recommended, as elevated levels of distress have been consistently observed and clinicians tend to overlook the need of psychological support (Carlson et al, 2012; Carlson et al, 2013; National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2013). On the other hand, it has been argued that screening should not be implemented, as the true benefit of screening and subsequent treatment of psychological distress is far from being definitively proven (Coyne, 2013). Recent findings on human resilience in the face of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) provide a new perspective on detecting and treating psychological distress in patients with cancer. Humans show strong resilience in the face of potentially traumatic events, such as cancer diagnosis and treatment (Bonanno et al, 2011). This observation leads us to propose two alternative approaches towards detecting and treating psychological distress in patients with cancer: ‘screening for psychological distress’ and ‘supporting resilience and case finding’.

Introduction: Diagnosing dementia in people with severe/profound intellectual (and multiple) disabilities (SPI(M)D) is complex. Whereas existing dementia screening instruments as a whole are unsuitable for this population, a number of individual items may apply. Therefore, this study aimed to identify applicable items in existing dementia screening instruments. Methods: Informant interviews about 40 people with SPI(M)D were conducted to identify applicable items in the Dementia Scale for Down Syndrome, Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia in Down Syndrome II scale, Dementia Questionnaire for persons with Mental Retardation and Social competence Rating scale for people with Intellectual Disabilities. Results: Among 193 items, 101 items were found applicable, categorized in 5 domains: behavioral and psychological functioning (60 items), cognitive functioning (25), motor functioning (6), activities of daily living (5) and medical comorbidities (5). Conclusion: Identifying applicable items for people with SPI(M)D is an essential step in developing a dedicated dementia screening instrument for this population.

After being hospitalised, 30–60% of older patients experience a decline in functioning, resulting in a decreased quality of life and autonomy. The objective of this study was to establish a screening instrument for identifying older hospitalised patients at risk for functional decline by comparing the predictive values of three screening instruments: identification of seniors at risk, care complexity prediction instrument and hospital admission risk profile.

Background: Frailty can have a negative influence on outcomes in elderly patients after burn injuries. The Dutch hospitals have used a four-domain frailty screening instrument from the Dutch Safety Management System (DSMS) since 2012. However, its feasibility and validity have hardly been studied. We aim to assess the feasibility and validity of frailty screening in specialized burn care. Methods: A multicentre retrospective cohort study was conducted in all Dutch burn centres. Patients aged ≥ 70, with a primary admission between 2012-2018, were included. Data were derived from electronic patient files. Results: In total, 515 patients were included. Frailty screening was complete in 39.6% and partially complete in 23.9%. Determinants for a complete screening were admission after 2015 (OR = 2.15, 95% CI 1.42-3.25) and lower percentage TBSA burned (OR = 0.12, 95% CI 0.05-029). In all completely screened patients, 49.9% were at risk of frailty. At risk patients were older, had more comorbidities (known group validity), a longer length of stay, and more frequently a non-home discharge (predictive validity). Conclusion: Frailty screening in specialized burn care is feasible and was conducted in 63.5% of admitted patients. In total, 44% of screened patients were at risk of frailty. Validity of frailty screening was confirmed. Frailty screening can contribute to optimal specialized burn care.
