Mirjam A. G. Sprangers,Ellen B. de Regt,Frank Andries,Heleen M.E. van Agt,Rob V. Bijl,Josien B de Boer,Marleen Foets,Nancy Hoeymans,Annelies Jacobs,Gertrudis I. J. M. Kempen,H.S. Miedema,Marja Tijhuis,Hanneke C. J. M. de Haes +12 more
TL;DR: Comparing the QL of a wide range of chronic disease patients found that patients who were older, female, had a low level of education, were not living with a partner, and had at least one comorbid condition, in general, reported the poorest level of QL.
Journal ArticleDOI
The reliability and validity of the COMFORT scale as a postoperative pain instrument in 0 to 3-year-old infants.
Monique van Dijk,Josien B de Boer,Hans M. Koot,Dick Tibboel,Jan Passchier,Hugo J. Duivenvoorden +5 more
TL;DR: Findings support the use of the COMFORT ‘behaviour’ scale to assess postoperative pain in neonates and infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatal Facial Coding System for Assessing Postoperative Pain in Infants: Item Reduction is Valid and Feasible
Jeroen W. B. Peters,Hans M. Koot,Ruth E. Grunau,Josien B de Boer,Marieke J van Druenen,Dick Tibboel,Hugo J. Duivenvoorden +6 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the NFCS is a reliable, feasible, and valid tool for assessing postoperative pain and reduces the number of NFCS facial actions to 5 without reducing the sensitivity and validity for detecting changes in pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
A psychometric comparison of health-related quality of life measures in chronic liver disease
Gülseren Ünal,Josien B de Boer,Gerard J. J. M. Borsboom,Johannes T. Brouwer,Marie-Louise Essink-Bot,Robert A. de Man +5 more
TL;DR: Four generic and domain-specific health-related quality of life measures and a self-developed 12-item symptom index were compared in terms of feasibility, test-retest reliability, internal consistency reliability, construct validity, and known groups validity in patients with chronic liver disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major surgery within the first 3 months of life and subsequent biobehavioral pain responses to immunization at later age: a case comparison study.
Jeroen W. B. Peters,Hans M. Koot,Josien B de Boer,Jan Passchier,Jolien M. Bueno-de-Mesquita,Frank H. de Jong,Hugo J. Duivenvoorden,Dick Tibboel +7 more
TL;DR: Major surgery in combination with preemptive analgesia within the first months of life does not alter pain response to subsequent pain exposure in childhood and greater exposure to early hospitalization influences the pain responses after prolonged time.
