Assessing Patient-Reported Outcomes in People with Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Can a Customized Selection of Items from the EORTC Library Enhance the EORTC QLQ-C30?
CONCLUSIONSOur data shows how incorporating the patient voice early on in PRO measurement selection and a conceptually-driven approach to the development of customized item sets can lead to more fit-for-purpose PRO measures to be used in the context of clinical trials of patients with cancer. Specifically, while the QLQ-C30 may be a satisfactory PRO instrument for use in people with hematological stem cell disorders, it can be made more targeted and disease-specific by carefully utilizing mixed methods and selecting supplemental items from the EORTC item library. This patient-reported online survey provides early evidence,...

Perceived job demands and resources of newly qualified midwives working in primary care settings in The Netherlands.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Dutch NQMs' first years in primary midwifery care are perceived as highly demanding. In primary care, NQMs usually work as locum midwives, self-employed and in different practices. Working in different practices requires not only working with different client populations and autonomous decision-making, but also requires adaptation to different local working arrangements. Building adequate support systems might help NQMs finding a balance between work and private life by having experienced midwives available as mentors. Furthermore, training and coaching of NQMs help them to become...
