Deze training Morele Psychologie wil helpen inzicht te ontwikkelen in de psychologische dynamiek zelf die ontstaat rond discussies over ‘het goede handelen’ en die je als begeleider of beleidsmaker voortdurend zult tegenkomen in het werkveld, zodat je patronen daarin herkent. De training is ontwikkeld voor begeleiders van asielzoekers en statushouders in Nederland en België. De basisprincipes uit de Morele Psychologie zullen echter herkenbaar zijn voor een bredere groep beleidsmakers en ondersteuners, en toepasbaar binnen andere beroepsgroepen. Deze training Morele Psychologie is onderdeel van het project ‘Your Global Future’, een project gericht op begeleiders van asielzoekers en statushouders ter bevordering van een inclusieve en toekomstvrije benadering (Future Free Approach).
Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the relationship between home-to-work spillover, measured as positive and negative home–work interference (HWI) and turnover intentions, as well as the mediating role of perceptions concerning training and development practices. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected among 418 respondents who were working at two business schools. A confirmative structural equation modeling analysis was conducted for the analysis. Findings: As expected, positive HWI showed negative relationships with turnover intentions, while negative HWI related positively to turnover intentions. Training and development practices mediated the relationship between positive HWI and turnover intentions; the mediation effect was stronger for women than it was for men. Training and development practices did not mediate the relationship between negative HWI and turnover intentions, however. Practical implications: The outcomes suggest that helping employees to balance their work and home lives can be beneficial for employees, as well as for employers in terms of reducing turnover intentions. Originality/value: As contributions, additional insight into the relationship between positive and negative non-work factors and turnover intentions by examining the ways in which both positive as well as negative HWI are related to turnover intentions. Furthermore, the research considers the mediating role played by perceptions concerning human resource (HR) practices, and particularly training and development practices as perceived by the employee, in the relationship between positive and negative HWI and turnover intentions.

De zorg voor ouderen verandert en wordt steeds meer in de wijk georganiseerd. Mensen worden niet alleen ouder, ook de complexiteit van hun zorgbehoefte neemt toe. Dit geldt met name voor ouderen die meerdere chronische ziekten en aandoeningen hebben. Vaak zijn diverse disciplines tegelijkertijd betrokken bij deze doelgroep. Voor goede zorg en ondersteuning is interprofessionele samenwerking tussen professionals uit het medisch en sociaal domein in de wijk noodzakelijk. Om de samenwerking in de wijk te versterken, hebben de Hogeschool Utrecht, Universitair Medisch Centrum Utrecht en Stichting Volte, in cocreatie met het veld en de doelgroep (professionals in de wijk) een interprofessionele training ontwikkeld voor professionals in de wijk. De training wordt op wijkniveau aangeboden en omvat een mix tussen online, face-to-face en on the job leren. In dit artikel beschrijven we hoe de training in nauwe samenwerking met de praktijk en experts uit de verschillende domeinen is ontwikkeld.

Om tegemoet te komen aan de eisen die gesteld worden aan werknemers in de huidig snel veranderende samenleving heeft de NHL Stenden Hogeschool gekozen voor een nieuw onderwijsconcept, namelijk Design Based Education (DBE). DBE is gebaseerd op het gedachtegoed van Design Thinking en stimuleert iteratieve en creatieve denkprocessen. DBE is een student-georiënteerde leeromgeving, gebaseerd op praktijk-, dialoog-, en vraaggestuurde onderwijsprincipes en op zelfsturend, constructief, contextueel en samenwerkend leren. Studenten construeren gezamenlijk kennis en ontwikkelen een prototype voor een praktijkvraagstuk. Student-georiënteerde leeromgevingen vragen andere begeleidingsstrategieën van docenten dan zij gewend zijn. Van docenten wordt verwacht dat zij studenten activeren gezamenlijk kennis te construeren en dat zij nauw samenwerken met werkveldprofessionals. Eerder onderzoek toont aan dat docenten, zelfs in een student-georiënteerde leeromgeving, geneigd zijn terug te vallen op conventionele strategieën. De overstap naar een ander onderwijsconcept gaat dus blijkbaar niet vanzelf. Collectief leren stimuleert docenten de dialoog aan te gaan met andere docenten en werkveldprofessionals met als doel gezamenlijk te experimenteren en collectief te handelen. De centrale vraag van het postdoc-onderzoek is het ontwerpen en ontwikkelen van (karakteristieken van) interventies die collectief leren van docenten en werkveldprofessionals stimuleren. Het doel van het postdoconderzoek is om de overstap naar DBE zo probleemloos mogelijk te laten verlopen door docenten te ondersteunen DBE leeromgevingen te ontwikkelen in samenwerking met werkveldprofessionals en DBE te integreren in hun docentactiviteiten. De onderzoeksmethode is Educational Design Research en bestaat uit vier fasen: preliminair onderzoek, ontwikkelen van prototypes, evaluatie en bijdrage aan de praktijk. Het onderzoek is verbonden aan het lectoraat Sustainable Educational Concepts in Higher Education en wordt hiërarchisch en inhoudelijk aangestuurd door de lector. Docenten, experts, werkveldprofessionals en studenten worden betrokken bij het onderzoek. Dit onderzoek kan zowel binnen als buiten de hogeschool een bijdrage leveren omdat steeds meer hogescholen kiezen voor een ander onderwijsconcept.
Cross-Re-Tour supports European tourism SME while implementing digital and circular economy innovations. The three year project promotes uptake and replication by tourism SMEs of tools and solutions developed in other sectors, to mainstream green and circular tourism business operations.At the start of the project existing knowledge-gaps of tourism SMEs will be researched through online dialogues. This will be followed by a market scan, an overview of existing state of the art solutions to digital and green constraints in other economic sectors, which may be applied to tourism SME business operations: water, energy, food, plastic, transport and furniture /equipment. The scan identifies best practices from other sectors related to nudging of clients towards sustainable behaviour and nudging of staff on how to best engage with new tourism market segments.The next stage of the project relates to two design processes: an online diagnostic tool that allows for measuring and assessing (160) SME’s potential to adapt existing solutions in digital and green challenges, developed in other economic sectors. Next to this, a knowledge hub, addresses knowledge constraints and proposes solutions, business advisory services, training activities to SMEs participating. The hub acts as a matchmaker, bringing together 160 tourism SMEs searching for solutions, with suppliers of existing solutions developed in other sectors. The next key activity is a cross-domain open innovation programme, that will provide 80 tourism SMEs with financial support (up to EUR 30K). Examples of partnerships could be: a hotel and a supplier of refurbished matrasses for hospitals; a restaurant and a supplier of food rejected by supermarkets, a dance event organiser and a supplier of refurbished water bottles operating in the cruise industry, etc.The 80 cross-domain partnerships will be supported through the knowledge hub and their business innovation advisors. The goal is to develop a variety of innovative partnerships to assure that examples in all operational levels of tourism SMEs.The innovation projects shall be presented during a show-and-share event, combined with an investors’ pitch. The diagnostic tool, market scan, knowledge hub, as well as the show and share offer excellent opportunities to communicate results and possible impact of open innovation processes to a wider international audience of destination stakeholders and non-tourism partners. Societal issueSupporting the implementation of digital and circular economy solutions in tourism SMEs is key for its transition towards sustainable low-impact industry and society. Benefit for societySolutions are already developed in other sectors but the cross-over towards tourism is not happening. The project bridges this gap.
The project aims to improve palliative care in China through the competence development of Chinese teachers, professionals, and students focusing on the horizontal priority of digital transformation.Palliative care (PC) has been recognised as a public health priority, and during recent years, has seen advances in several aspects. However, severe inequities in the access and availability of PC worldwide remain. Annually, approximately 56.8 million people need palliative care, where 25.7% of the care focuses on the last year of person’s life (Connor, 2020).China has set aims for reaching the health care standards of the developed countries by 2030 through the Healthy China Strategy 2030, where one of the improvement areas in health care includes palliative care, thus continuing the previous efforts.The project provides a constructive, holistic, and innovative set of actions aimed at resulting in lasting outcomes and continued development of palliative care education and services. Raising the awareness of all stakeholders on palliative care, including the public, is highly relevant and needed. Evidence based practice guidelines and education are urgently required for both general and specialised palliative care levels, to increase the competencies for health educators, professionals, and students. This is to improve the availability and quality of person-centered palliative care in China. Considering the aging population, increase in various chronic illnesses, the challenging care environment, and the moderate health care resources, competence development and the utilisation of digitalisation in palliative care are paramount in supporting the transition of experts into the palliative care practice environment.General objective of the project is to enhance the competences in palliative care in China through education and training to improve the quality of life for citizens. Project develops the competences of current and future health care professionals in China to transform the palliative care theory and practice to impact the target groups and the society in the long-term. As recognised by the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC), palliative care competences need to be developed in collaboration. This includes shared willingness to learn from each other to improve the sought outcomes in palliative care (EAPC 2019). Since all individuals have a right to health care, project develops person-centered and culturally sensitive practices taking into consideration ethics and social norms. As concepts around palliative care can focus on physical, psychological, social, or spiritual related illnesses (WHO 2020), project develops innovative pedagogy focusing on evidence-based practice, communication, and competence development utilising digital methods and tools. Concepts of reflection, values and views are in the forefront to improve palliative care for the future. Important aspects in project development include health promotion, digital competences and digital health literacy skills of professionals, patients, and their caregivers. Project objective is tied to the principles of the European Commission’s (EU) Digital Decade that stresses the importance of placing people and their rights in the forefront of the digital transformation, while enhancing solidarity, inclusion, freedom of choice and participation. In addition, concepts of safety, security, empowerment, and the promotion of sustainable actions are valued. (European Commission: Digital targets for 2030).Through the existing collaboration, strategic focus areas of the partners, and the principles of the call, the PalcNet project consortium was formed by the following partners: JAMK University of Applied Sciences (JAMK ), Ramon Llull University (URL), Hanze University of Applied Sciences (HUAS), Beijing Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), Guangzhou Health Science College (GHSC), Beihua University (BHU), and Harbin Medical University (HMU). As project develops new knowledge, innovations and practice through capacity building, finalisation of the consortium considered partners development strategy regarding health care, (especially palliative care), ability to create long-term impact, including the focus on enhancing higher education according to the horizontal priority. In addition, partners’ expertise and geographical location was also considered important to facilitate long-term impact of the results.Primary target groups of the project include partner country’s (China) staff members, teachers, researchers, health care professionals and bachelor level students engaging in project implementation. Secondary target groups include those groups who will use the outputs and results and continue in further development in palliative care upon the lifetime of the project.
