DOCUMENT
De eerste vier jaar van het lectoraat Image in Context van het Kenniscentrum Kunst en Samenleving – onderdeel van de Hanzehogeschool Groningen – wordt gemarkeerd met de tentoonstelling We, people in transition. De tentoonstelling toont een selectie van de projecten die het lectoraat, onder leiding van dr. Anke Coumans, de afgelopen vier jaar uitvoerde. De titel van de tentoonstelling benadrukt hoe niet alleen onze omgeving in transitie is, maar ook hoe wij mensen dat zijn. De beeldende ontmoetingen van de tentoonstelling hebben deze transitie niet alleen vastgelegd maar haar ook veroorzaakt.

Introduction The process of transition from paediatric to adult care is a crucial step towards self-management of healthcare for young adults with chronic health conditions. In the Netherlands, the On Your Own Feet program offers an extensive framework for supporting optimal transition. In this national study, we aimed to evaluate the transition experiences of young adults with perinatal HIV who transferred from a paediatric to an adult HIV treatment centre. Methods Participants who transferred to adult care less than six years ago received questionnaires on transition experiences, the validated On Your Own Feet – Transition Experiences Scale (OYOF-TES), and demographics. Demographic and healthcare-related variables were collected from patients’ medical files. We explored correlations between OYOF-TES scores and other variables. Results Of 44 participants, 29 responded (65.1 %). Their median age was 20 (IQR 19–23). Overall, high scores were found on the subscales ‘Reception in adult care’ (median 4.8, IQR 4.0–5.0), ‘Alliance paediatric and adult care’ (median 4.0, IQR 3.4–4.4), and ‘Transfer readiness’ (median 4.2, IQR 3.8–4.8). The lowest scores were found in the subscales ‘Preparation for transfer’ (median 3.3, IQR 2.7–4.0) and ‘Youth involvement’ (median 3.5, IQR 2.5–4.5). Higher scores on transition experiences were correlated with younger age and female sex, while lower scores were correlated with those of whom one or both biological parents died during childhood. Conclusion Transition experiences in our population were positive. Younger participants felt better prepared for the transfer, which indicates that transition is increasingly becoming a joint effort between young adults and healthcare professionals and that pathways accustomed to individual needs improve the transition experience for young adults with perinatal HIV.

Background and purpose In the Netherlands, the 2022 Quality Standard 'Youth in transition from paediatric to adult care' underscores the importance of structured transitional care for young adults with chronic health conditions. Despite this emphasis, detailed knowledge about transition programs and their successful elements remains sparse. This study aims to bridge this gap by exploring nurse-led transition clinics that had successfully implemented core interventions such as a transition coordinator, warm handover, and individual transition plans. Methods Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study integrated semi-structured interviews with 15 healthcare professionals from both paediatric and adult care across six transition clinics, and surveys from 54 young adults who had transitioned within the last three years. The ‘On Your Own Feet Framework’ guided the evaluation of transitional care practices. Thematic analysis was applied to qualitative data, while descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse quantitative data. Results The study revealed a strong dedication among healthcare professionals to ensuring smooth transitions and effective collaboration between paediatric and adult care. The young adults reported high satisfaction with their transitions, particularly appreciating the continuity of care and the pivotal role of nurses and nurse practitioners as transition coordinators. However, challenges such as engaging young adults, resource allocation, and financial complexities were noted, alongside areas for improvement including shared decision-making and managing parental involvement. Motivation and collaboration among staff were identified as facilitating factors. Discussion and conclusion Our findings emphasize the vital role of nurse-led transition clinics in enhancing healthcare transitions for young adults in the Netherlands, aligning with the principles outlined in the Quality Standard and the On Your Own Feet Framework. While high satisfaction levels with current practices suggest a positive impact, they also highlight that ongoing improvement and adaptation are needed to overcome identified challenges. Successful healthcare transition requires a comprehensive, collaborative approach involving patients, families, and healthcare professionals, supported by organizational and systemic frameworks. This study contributes to a nuanced understanding of transitional care, suggesting a path forward for integrating these practices into standard care models.

The transition towards a sustainable and healthy food system is one of the major sustainability challenges of today, next to the energy transition and the transition from a linear to circular economy. This paper provides a timely and evidence-based contribution to better understand the complex processes of institutional change and transformative social-ecological innovation that takes place in the food transition, through a case study of an open innovation and food transition network in The Netherlands, the South-Holland Food Family (Zuid-Hollandse Voedselfamilie). This network is supported by the provincial government and many partners, with the ambition to realize more sustainable agricultural and food chains, offering healthy, sustainable and affordable food for everyone in the Province of South-Holland in five to ten years from now. This ambition cannot be achieved through optimising the current food system. A transition is needed – a fundamental change of the food system’s structure, culture and practice. The Province has adopted a transition approach in its 2016 Innovation Agenda for Sustainable Agriculture. This paper provides an institutional analysis of how the transition approach has been established and developed in practice. Our main research question is what interventions and actions have shaped the transition approach and how does the dynamic interplay between actors and institutional structures influence institutional change, by analysing a series of closely related action situations and their context, looking at 'structure' and 'agency', and at the output-outcomes-impact of these action situations. For this purpose, we use the Transformative Social-Ecological Innovation (TSEI)-framework to study the dynamic interplay between actors and institutional structures influencing institutional change. The example of TSEI-framework application in this paper shows when and how local agents change the institutional context itself, which provides relevant insights on institutional work and the mutually constitutive nature of structure and agency. Above institutional analysis also shows the pivotal role of a number of actors, such as network facilitators and provincial minister, and their capability and skills to combine formal and informal institutional environments and logics and mobilize resources, thereby legitimizing and supporting the change effort. The results are indicative of the importance of institutional structures as both facilitating (i.e., the province’s policies) and limiting (e.g. land ownership) transition dynamics.

This paper addresses the challenge of assessing Energy Transition Readiness levels in businesses. It identifies gaps in existing literature concerning energy transitions and readiness levels. To tackle this, the paper employs organizational learning theory as its foundational model and introduces a new taxonomy of key energy readiness indicators. This taxonomy offers a practical guide for business professionals to implement targeted interventions effectively. Additionally, it enables benchmarking and comparison of sector and industry actors. In summary, the integration of organizational learning theory expands the discourse on strategically managing global challenges.
