    AIM: To develop and psychometrically test the needs of children questionnaire (NCQ), a new instrument to measure school-aged children\u27s self-reported psychosocial physical and emotional needs in paediatric wards. DESIGN: This is an instrument development study based on recommendations for developing a reliable and valid questionnaire. METHOD: The NCQ was developed over three phases between February 2013-April 2017 and included item generation; content adequacy assessment; questionnaire administration; factor analysis; internal consistency assessment and construct validity. Psychometric properties were assessed after 193 school-aged children completed the needs of children\u27s questionnaire in four paediatric areas in Australia and New Zealand. RESULTS: The development and validation of the NCQ over two countries resulted in a 16-item, four-category tool to measure the self-reported importance and fulfilment of school-aged children\u27s needs in hospital. Cronbach\u27s alpha for the combined samples was 0.93. CONCLUSION: The NCQ bridges a gap to measure the level of importance and fulfilment of school-aged children\u27s self-reported needs in hospital. Future testing and validation is needed in other paediatric areas and countries. IMPACT: The 16-item NCQ is a valid measure to evaluate if the quality of care delivered and received in hospital is in line with what children self-report as important and required and to date indicates good usability and utility. Child self-reports are essential to inform healthcare delivery, policy, research and theory development from a child and family-centred care lens that honours the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the best interests of the child

    In psychiatric genetics research, the volume of ambivalent findings on gene-environment interactions (G x E) is growing at an accelerating pace. In response to the surging suspicions of systematic distortion, we challenge the notion of chance capitalization as a possible contributor. Taken together, multiple testing provides a novel approach to better understand equivocal evidence on G x E, showing that methodological differences across studies are a likely reason for heterogeneity in findings - but chance capitalization is at least equally plausible. The dataset is not openly available due to the sensitive character and the GDPR. The data used were collected as part of the TRacking Adolescents' Individual Lives Survey (TRAILS).

    No full text
    Dataset contains data of 180 participants, collected in the general Dutch population. Data was collected on age gender, education, basic values (measured by PVQ-40), psychopathic traits (four facets, measured by SRP-SF) and aggression (reactive and proactive, measured by RPQ). The first goal of the research was to investigate if the basic value Power, psychopathic traits and proactive aggression were correlated. The second goal was to investigate if Power moderated the effect of psychopathic traits on proactive aggression

    Data related to “Relative Age Effects in Dutch Adolescents: Concurrent and Prospective Analyses, PLoS, 2015” In this study we examined intra-classroom age position (or relative age) effects on Dutch adolescents’ school progress and performance (as rated by teachers), physical development, temperamental development (fear and frustration), and depressive symptoms, all adjusted for age at the time of measurement. Data were derived from three waves of Tracking Adolescents' Individuals Lives Survey (TRAILS) of 2230 Dutch adolescents (baseline mean age 11.1, SD = 0.6, 51% girls)

    De doelstelling van de studie is het, vanuit het perspectief van sociale professionals zelf, systematisch beschrijven van de werkwereld van sociale professionals die hun sociale professie uitoefenen uitgaande van een inclusieve invulling van het participatie-ideaal en hierbij een idiografisch-relationeel georiënteerde begeleidingsvorm hanteren. De bijbehorende vraagstelling is: Hoe beschrijven sociale professionals die hun sociale professie uitoefenen uitgaande van een inclusieve invulling van het participatie- en integratie-ideaal en een bijpassende idiografisch-relationeel georiënteerde begeleidingsvorm hanteren hun werkwereld
