Background: Fear of movement (kinesiophobia) after an acute cardiac hospitalization (ACH) is associated with reduced physical activity (PA) and non-adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Purpose: To investigate which factors are related to kinesiophobia after an ACH, and to investigate the support needs of patients in relation to PA and the uptake of CR. Methods: Patients were included 2-3 weeks after hospital discharge for ACH. The level of kinesiophobia was assessed with the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-NL Heart). A score of > 28 points is defined as 'high levels of kinesiophobia' (HighKin) and ≤ 28 as 'low levels of kinesiophobia' (LowKin). Patients were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview with the fear avoidance model (FAM) as theoretical framework. Interviews continued until data-saturation was reached. All interviews were analyzed with an inductive content analysis. Results: Data-saturation was reached after 16 participants (median age 65) were included in this study after an ACH. HighKin were diagnosed in seven patients. HighKin were related to: (1) disrupted healthcare process, (2) negative beliefs and attitudes concerning PA. LowKin were related to: (1) understanding the necessity of PA, (2) experiencing social support. Patients formulated 'tailored information and support from a health care provider' as most important need after hospital discharge. Conclusion: This study adds to the knowledge of factors related to kinesiophobia and its influence on PA and the uptake of CR. These findings should be further validated in future studies and can be used to develop early interventions to prevent or treat kinesiophobia and stimulate the uptake of CR.

De veiligheidsbeleving van burgers is lastig in kaart te brengen. De International Fear of Crime Trend Index brengt nu een betrouwbaar inzicht dichterbij. Nu zien we dat de veiligheidsbeleving in Nederland zich al langere tijd positief ontwikkelt, een verbetering die de ‘fear drop’ heet.

Developing and testing several AR and VR concepts for SAMSUNG (Benelux) Samsung and Breda University of Applied Sciences decided to work together on developing and testing several new digital media concepts with a focus on VR and gaming. This collaboration has led to several innovative projects and concepts, among others: the organisation of the first Samsung VR jam in which game and media students developed new concepts for SAMSUNG GEAR in 24 hours, the pre-development of a VR therapy concept (Fear of Love) created by CaptainVR, the Samsung Industry Case in which students developed new concepts for SAMSUNG GEAR (wearables), the IGAD VR game pitch where over 15 VR game concepts were created for SAMSUNG VR GEAR and numerous projects in which VR concepts are developed and created using new SAMSUNG technologies. Currently we are co-developing new digital HRM solutions.
This PD project aims to gather new knowledge through artistic and participatory design research within neighbourhoods for possible ways of addressing and understanding the avoidance and numbness caused by feelings of vulnerability, discomfort and pain associated with eco-anxiety and chronic fear of environmental doom. The project will include artistic production and suitable forms of fieldwork. The objectives of the PD are to find answers to the practice problem of society which call for art that sensitises, makes aware and helps initiate behavioural change around the consequences of climate change. Rather than visualize future sea levels directly, it will seek to engage with climate change in a metaphorical and poetic way. Neither a doom nor an overly techno-optimistic scenario seem useful to understand the complexity of flood risk management or the dangers of flooding. By challenging both perspectives with artistic means, this research hopes to counter eco-anxiety and create a sense of open thought and susceptibility to new ideas, feelings and chains of thought. Animation and humour, are possible ingredients. The objective is to find and create multiple Dutch water stories, not just one. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop new methods for selecting and repurposing existing impactful stories and strong images. Citizens and students will be included to do so via fieldwork. In addition, archival materials will be used. Archives serve as a repository for memory recollection and reuse, selecting material from the audiovisual archive of the Institute of Sound & Vision will be a crucial part of the creative work which will include two films and accompanying music.
Waarom ontstaat antisociaal of crimineel gedrag? Allerlei sociale, psychologische én neurobiologische factoren blijken hierbij van belang. Neurobiologische kennis is in de praktijk vaak afwezig. Professionals in het zorg- of veiligheidsdomein zouden gebaat zijn bij een toegankelijke onderwijsmodule. Brainstorm biedt kennisclips met basiskennis over het ontstaan van antisociaal en crimineel gedrag, met extra aandacht voor neurobiologische factoren.Wat? De Brainstormmodule behandelt negen thema’s: drie basisthema’s over ontwikkelingscriminologie en zes neurobiologische thema’s. Binnen elk thema wordt in een kennisclip kort basiskennis samengevat. Links naar de kennisclips zijn hieronder te vinden. Met bijbehorende opdrachten (zie docentenhandleiding) kan deze kennis verder worden verdiept. Uitgangspunt van de module is het biopsychosociale perspectief: het wetenschappelijk model waarbij neurobiologische, psychologische en sociale factoren op elkaar inwerken. De kennisclips: 1. Wat is crimineel en antisociaal gedrag? 2. Psychische stoornissen en antisociaal gedrag 3. Hoe wordt iemand crimineel? 4. Ontwikkelingspaden van crimineel gedrag 5. Biopsychosociaal model 6. Hersenen en antisociaal gedrag 7. Puberbrein en antisociaal gedrag 8. Neuropsychologie en antisociaal gedrag 9. Fearlessness & sensation seeking 10. Hufters of helden 11. Genetica en antisociaal gedrag Voor wie? De Brainstormmodule is ontwikkeld voor professionals die zich bezighouden met antisociaal of crimineel gedrag in welke vorm dan ook (beleid, toezicht, interventie en preventie etc.). De module kan zowel bij hbo-bacheloropleidingen en post-initiële (master)opleidingen als voor professionals in-company, gebruikt worden. Ontwikkeling Brainstorm Brainstorm is ontwikkeld door dr. Evelien Platje en dr. Andrea Donker van het lectoraat Kennisanalyse Sociale Veiligheid en dr. Lucres Nauta-Jansen van het AmsterdamUMC. Zij hebben veel onderzoek- en onderwijservaring op het gebied van neurobiologie van antisociaal en crimineel gedrag. Brainstorm is het eindproduct van het ZonMW-project ‘Onbekend maakt Onbemind. Leren werken met neuropsychobiologische kennis van en met jongeren met antisociaal gedrag’, een samenwerkingsproject met het lectoraat Jeugd van de Christelijke Hogeschool Windesheim. De kennisclips zijn vormgegeven door Bureau Nauta. Voor de ontwikkeling van de kennisclips zijn er feedbackmomenten geweest met zowel studenten als docenten van de opleidingen Social Work, Integrale Veiligheidskunde en Sociaal Juridische Dienstverlening van Hogeschool Utrecht.
