Job description
The
number of older people is rising rapidly; in the Netherlands, it is
expected to increase more among immigrants than among natives. Poor
health, chronic diseases, and functional limitations are much more
prevalent among these immigrant populations than among natives.
Sociocultural differences make it especially difficult for healthcare
organisations to reach older immigrants effectively. Immigrant-sensitive
healthcare interventions are needed, requiring insight into underlying
sociocultural mechanisms explaining differences in health and health
behaviour between older natives and immigrants. To improve (preventive)
healthcare delivery quality and effectiveness for older immigrants, and
to deliver care tailored to their needs, research on the sociocultural
mechanisms leading to their poorer health and health behaviours is
needed. Therefore, Prof.dr Anna Nieboer, Dr. Jane Cramm and Dr. Marleen
Foets from the Socio-Medical Sciences (SMW) group within the institute
of Health Policy and Management (iBMG) study the interplay between the
influences of perceptions of ageing and the social environment on health
and health behaviours among older Dutch natives and immigrants.
In 2014 pilot studies (focus groups and quantitative research) will be conducted among older natives, Turks, Surinamese, and Moroccans in the Netherlands. Using the national population register, a sample of Dutch, Turks, Surinamese, Moroccans independently living older adults (age > 70 years) residing in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and The Hague will be identified for inclusion in our study. These people will be surveyed in 2015 and 2016.
For this study, we are searching for a PhD student. As a PhD student you contribute to literature review, gathering and analysing data. In addition, you will be involved in teaching activities within the bachelor Health, Policy & Management and in the master Health Care Management.

In verband met geldwolven die denken geld te kunnen claimen op krantenartikelen die op een blog als deze worden geplaatst maar na meestal een dag voor de krantenlezers aan leeswaardigheid hebben ingeboet terwijl wij vreemdelingenrecht specialisten ze soms wel nog jaren gebruiken om er een kopie van te maken voor een zaak ga ik over tot het plaatsen van alleen het eerste stukje. Ja ik weet het: de kans dat u doorklikt is geringer dan wanneer het hele artikel hier staat en een kopie van het orgineel maken handig kan zijn voor uw zaak. Wilt u zelf wat overnemen van dit weblog. Dat mag. Zet er alleen even een link bij naar het desbetreffende artikel zodat mensen niet alleen dat wat u knipt en plakt kunnen lezen maar dat ook kunnen doen in de context.
