De kloof overbruggen
Toen grote groepen vluchtelingen in ons land aanklopten, werd in tal van gemeenten naarstig gezocht naar verblijfsplaatsen. De inzet om vluchtelingen te herbergen stuitte op grote weerstand. Het meest flagrant was het verzet in Geldermalsen. Burgers kwamen in opstand tegen de gemeentelijke overheid. Trouw publiceerde op de voorpagina een iconische foto van dit volksoproer. Een vrouw met een van woede vertrokken gezicht, mond wijd open. Het was een variant op De Schreeuw van Munch, waarbij nu niet de angst maar vooral de woede in het oog sprong.
Publicatie | 16-06-2025Strengthening Connectedness in Close Relationships
This article presents a model for conducting contextual therapy with the aim of contributing to the further development of contextual therapy. Its founder, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, introduced the core of this approach, relational ethics, as a new paradigm for family therapy, which has been received well. The authors presume that the training of (upcoming) contextual therapists and conducting contextual therapy itself can benefit from more concrete guidelines and a phased structure. It can also enhance the further development, research and accountability of this approach. Therefore, using a design-oriented method, the authors developed a model that helps to shape a contextual therapy process and the applicable contextual interventions. It is based on strengthening connectedness in close relationships, using relational ethics as its compass. The framework of the model consists of three phases: exploring connectedness in close relationships, modifying connectedness in close relationships and reinforcing connectedness in close relationships, whereby the goals of each of these phases are defined as process elements and expanded into guidelines for nineteen interventions. The ingredients for these interventions are derived from two recent studies on the practice of Nagy and on the practice of current contextual therapists. The model is explained and substantiated based on contextual theory and therapy. Final remarks are presented in the conclusion.
Publicatie | 16-06-2025Corporate Communication
In September 2015, it appeared that the Volkswagen Group had circumvented the rules for testing diesel car exhaust gases. Although the organization presents itself as eco-friendly, it used a “default device” for diesel cars to produce less CO2 during test situations. Due to this kind of scandal, corporate communication is often associated with greenwashing and the manipulation of minds. Using the normative practice approach, the authors introduce some basic distinctions that may help to come to a better understanding of what the specific duty and responsibility of communication professionals is. They argue that corporate communication stands or falls with public trust. Building confidence and public legitimation is the main task of communication professionals. Although communication is about the construction of a communal world, that does not mean that framing and strategic reasoning are not important. In order to bring in a legitimate point of view, one has to present this point of view in an impactful way. Communication professionals have to balance between the interests of the organization and the requirements of public legitimation. They also have to make convincingly clear how their personal biography and the narrative of the organization are interrelated.
Publicatie | 16-06-2025Normative Dimensions of Corporate Communication
In this chapter, it is argued that corporate communication is not an arbitrary affair, but an activity with its own intrinsic normativity. Communication is part of a creation order, which means that one has to obey specific norms and rules in order to present oneself in a convincing way. First of all, organisations need to have a clear sense of self and have to be accountable for their actions. They have to know ‘who’ they are, and to which principles they stick (directional dimension). Secondly, organisations must have a clear sense of the intrinsic good that is at stake in their professional field. They need to have a clear understanding of ‘what’ they are doing (structural dimension). Thirdly organisations must have a clear understanding of what is required in their specific context. They must have a sense of ‘why’ they exist in a particular time and place (contextual dimension). All three normative dimensions are important. If they lose sight of any one of these dimensions, organizations risk losing their credibility.

Jennifer Hopelezz, dragqueen in Amsterdam, reserveerde onlangs een rit bij Uber. De bijverdienende chauffeur had bij het maken van de afspraak geen idee wat voor vlees hij in de kuip had. Toen Jennifer Hopelezz (extravagant opgemaakt en hyper-vrouwelijk gekleed, maar met baard en basstem) aanstalten maakte om in te stappen, gaf de chauffeur gas en reed weg, onder het motto: in mijn auto geen man in vrouwenkleren. Jennifer Hopelezz, alter ego van Richard Keldoulis, ‘voelde zich kwaad, gekwetst en vernederd’. Uber heeft nu, om dit te in de toekomst te voorkomen, een knop geïnstalleerd op de Uber-app, waarmee klanten discriminatie direct kunnen melden.
Publicatie | 16-06-2025A context analysis on how oral care is delivered in hospitalised patients: A mixed‐methods study
Aims and Objectives: To analyse oral care delivery in one hospital through exploring experiences from both nurses’ and patients’ perspectives and examining patients’ oral health. Background: Oral health problems are associated with undernutrition and other general health outcomes. Although oral care belongs to the essentials of nursing, it is often neglected. Improving oral health may require behaviour change of both nurses and patients. Defining tailored strategies need a clear view on the context. Design: A context analysis in one hospital using a convergent parallel mixed‐methods design was reported following the EQUATOR guidelines using two checklists: COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research (qualitative research) and STROBE (observational research). Methods: Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 19 nurses and 11 patients. The topic list was based on the Integrated Change Model. Prospective oral examination was performed among 91 surgical patients using the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT). Results: Nurses acknowledged that they did not prioritise oral care in daily practice. Furthermore, they lacked knowledge and skills to identify and provide care for oral problems. Nurses mentioned helpful resources to perform oral care, like standardised language and instruments. However, they had no access to or were unaware of them. Patients admitted that they did not prioritise oral care due to their sickness during hospitalisation, were unaware of the importance of oral care, but felt responsible for their oral care. The most prominent oral problems identified with the OHAT were unclean mouths (n = 75, 82%), unhealthy gum and tissues (n = 55, 60%) and dry mouth (n = 42, 46%). Conclusions: This context analysis identified inadequate oral care due to lack of positive attitude and knowledge in both nurses and patients, skills for nurses, and resources. Relevance to Clinical Practice: The behavioural factors indicate strategies for development of a multicomponent intervention to improve oral care in this hospital, nutritional status and general health outcomes.
