To improve the implementation of innovations in healthcare settings, it is important to understand factors influencing professionals' behaviors. We aimed develop a generic questionnaire English and Dutch assessing 14 domains behavioral determinants from revised TDF (Cane et al., 2012) that can be tailored suit different targets, actions, contexts, times interest, investigate items' discriminant content validity. identified existing questionnaires including items constructs within developed...

To be able to design effective strategies improve healthcare professionals’ implementation behaviors, a valid and reliable questionnaire is needed assess potential determinants. The present study describes the development of Determinants Implementation Behavior Questionnaire (DIBQ) investigates reliability validity this Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF)-based questionnaire. DIBQ was developed measure behavioral determinants 12-domain version TDF (Michie et al., 2005). We identified...

Most linguistic processes — acquisition, change, deterioration take place in and are determined by a complex multifactorial web of language internal external influences. This implies that the impact each individual factor can only be on basis careful consideration its interplay with all other factors. The present study investigates to what degree number sociolinguistic extralinguistic factors, which have been previously demonstrated or claimed relevant context attrition, account for...

When two alternative treatments (A and B) are available, some subgroup of patients may display a better outcome with treatment A than B, whereas for another subgroup, the reverse be true. If this is case, qualitative (i.e., disordinal) treatment–subgroup interaction present. Such interactions imply that subgroups should treated differently therefore most relevant personalized medicine. In case data from randomized clinical trials many patient characteristics could interact in complex way,...

The physical environment is presumed to have an effect on aggression and also the use of seclusion psychiatric wards. Multicentre studies that include a broad variety design features found wards control for patient, staff general ward characteristics are scarce.To explore risk being secluded, number incidents time in seclusion, patients admitted locked intensive care.Data building quality safety as well forensic (n = 199) were combined with data frequency type coercive measures per admission...

Abstract Additive models and tree-based regression are two main classes of statistical used to predict the scores on a continuous response variable. It is known that additive become very complex in presence higher order interaction effects, whereas some models, such as CART, have problems capturing linear effects predictors. To overcome these drawbacks, trunk model has been proposed: multiple with parsimonious amount effects. The can be represented by small tree: trunk. This article proposes...

The component structure of 14 Likert-type items measuring different aspects job satisfaction was investigated using nonlinear Principal Components Analysis (NLPCA). NLPCA allows for analyzing these at an ordinal or interval level. participants were 2066 workers from five types social service organizations. Our results suggest that taking into account the nature most appropriate. On basis a stability study, two-component found, which we extracted two subscales ("Motivation" and "Hygiene")...

The Dutch government recently added universal Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination for 12-year-old girls to the existing national immunization program. participation rate initial catch-up campaign aged 13 16 years in 2009 was lower (47%) than expected (70%). To inform future HPV information campaigns, this paper examines social and psychological determinants of intentions their mothers who were targeted by 2009.A random sample chosen from register received a letter inviting them...

In dental epidemiology, the decayed (D), missing (M), and filled (F) teeth or surfaces index (DFM index) is a frequently used measure. The DMF characterized by strongly positive skewed distribution with large stack of zero counts for those individuals without caries experience. Therefore, standard generalized linear models often lead to poor fit. hurdle regression model highly suitable class index, but its use subordinated. We aim overcome gap between suitability fit indices frequency in...

This cross‐sectional study empirically tested a theoretical model of pathways and inter‐relationships among community, family, individual determinants childhood dental caries in sample 630, 6‐year‐old children from the Netherlands. Children's decayed, missing, filled teeth (dmft) scores were extracted records. A validated parental questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic characteristics, psychosocial factors, oral hygiene behaviours. Data neighbourhood quality obtained...

<i>Background:</i> Although several forms of effective therapy exist for outpatients suffering from major depressive disorder, many patients do not profit treatment. Combining psychotherapy and medication may be an strategy. However, earlier studies have rarely found a clear advantage the combination. Where was found, possible placebo effect adding 2 types treatment could ruled out as cause superior <i>Methods:</i> A total 353 were screened, whom 193 randomized over 4...
