Background:
The concept of “positive health” emerged from the need for a holistic and more dynamic perspective on health, emphasising the ability of individuals to adapt and self-manage. The positive health conversation tool helps understand how people score on six positive health dimensions. However, skills within these dimensions to maintain or improve health have not yet been described. This is important for enabling individuals to put health advice into practise. Therefore, this paper aims to define and suggest skills for maintaining and improving positive health.

Aim:
To explore which factors, influencing dietary behaviour change support among patients by Dutch community nurses (CNs; nurses), are key focal points in training programmes.

Background:
Nurses have an important role in counselling patients towards healthier dietary behaviour to prevent or delay long-term complications from chronic lifestyle-related diseases. Most nurses do not incorporate dietary behaviour change support in their routines to the fullest potential.

Design:
A qualitative descriptive study.

Welke barrières ervaren verpleegkundigen wanneer ze met patiënten werk willen maken van leefstijl? Wat zijn mogelijke oplossingsrichtingen? Om deze vragen draaide een rondetafelgesprek in september 2022.

Het belang van gezondheidsbevordering bij mensen met een psychische aandoening en/of een licht verstandelijke beperking in de langdurige zorg is groot. De sociaal werker en verpleegkundige hebben beiden een rol in gezondheidsbevordering bij deze doelgroep. Uit praktijksignalen blijkt dat professionals hierin knelpunten ervaren. Literatuuronderzoek naar deze knelpunten leverde geen resultaten op.

Blue-collar workers often have disadvantageous health statuses and might therefore benefit from a combination of individual and environmental workplace health promotion interventions. Exploring stakeholders’ perceived facilitators and barriers regarding the combined implementation of these interventions in blue-collar work settings is important for effective implementation. A qualitative study consisting of 20 stakeholder interviews within six types of organisations in The Netherlands was conducted.
