Self-perceived functioning, goals and action plans: an evaluation of an ICF-based E-health application in an intervention for people with a combination of mental and physical health conditions.

Purpose: In the BigMove intervention, people with physical and mental health conditions assess their functioning, set goals, and define action plans to achieve their goals recorded in an e-health application using all categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). This study investigates whether data from this application can provide insight into participants' self-perceived functioning, goals and action plans and observe changes over time.

Methods: Data from 446 participants were analysed with descriptive statistics to describe self-perceived functioning and the ICF categories related to the 15 most frequently chosen goals.

The BigMove Intervention for People With Physical and Mental Health Conditions: A First Evaluation of Self-Perceived Health, Quality of Life, Coping and Mental and Social Functioning.

Background: The BigMove intervention aims to improve the functioning and quality of life of people with physical and mental health conditions via an integrated care approach. This pilot study evaluates the impact of the intervention on self-perceived health (SPH), quality of life (QoL), active coping behaviour, and mental and social functioning.

Methods: Data were analysed from N = 457 participants who had been referred to the intervention by their general practitioner (mean age 48.

Don't be late! Postponing cognitive decline and preventing early unemployment in people with multiple sclerosis: a study protocol.

Background: Up to 65% of people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) develop cognitive deficits, which hampers their ability to work, participating in day-to-day life and ultimately reducing quality of life (QoL). Early cognitive symptoms are often less tangible to PwMS and their direct environment and are noticed only when symptoms and work functioning problems become more advanced, i.e.

Don't be late! Timely identification of cognitive impairment in people with multiple sclerosis: a study protocol.

Background: Cognitive impairment occurs in up to 65% of people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), negatively affecting daily functioning and health-related quality of life. In general, neuropsychological testing is not part of standard MS-care due to insufficient time and trained personnel. Consequently, a baseline assessment of cognitive functioning is often lacking, hampering early identification of cognitive decline and change within a person over time.

Toward a paradigm shift in healthcare: using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the capability approach (CA) jointly in theory and practice.

Purpose: Over the past two decades, healthcare systems have shifted to adopt a more holistic, patient-centered care system. However, operationalization in practice remains challenging. Two frameworks have contributed substantially to the transformation toward more holistic and patient-centered care: the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the capability approach (CA).

BigMove: A Group Intervention for People with Physical and Mental Health Conditions: Development, Theoretical Frameworks, Essential Elements and Design.

Introduction: This article describes an innovative, integrated care intervention, called BigMove, which aims to improve the functioning, capabilities and quality of life of people with a combination of physical and mental health conditions.

Description: Theoretical frameworks reflected in the intervention are the Capability Approach (CA) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Essential elements of the intervention included to expand participants' behavioural repertoire are motivational interviewing; functional goal setting (using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF); cognitive behavioural therapy; enjoyment; support of the group; and physical activity.

Automated recognition of functioning, activity and participation in COVID-19 from electronic patient records by natural language processing: a proof- of- concept.

Purpose: To address the feasibility, reliability and internal validity of natural language processing (NLP) for automated functional assessment of hospitalised COVID-19 patients in key International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) categories and levels from unstructured text in electronic health records (EHR) from a large teaching hospital.

Materials And Methods: Eight human annotators assigned four ICF categories to relevant sentences: Emotional functions, Exercise tolerance, Walking and Moving, Work and Employment and their ICF levels (Functional Ambulation Categories for Walking and Moving, metabolic equivalents for Exercise tolerance). A linguistic neural network-based model was trained on 80% of the annotated sentences; inter-annotator agreement (IAA, Cohen's kappa), a weighted score of precision and recall (F1) and RMSE for level detection were assessed for the remaining 20%.

Avoiding the Banality of Evil in Times of COVID-19: Thinking Differently with a Biopsychosocial Perspective for Future Health and Social Policies Development.

The COVID-19 pandemic provides the opportunity to re-think health policies and health systems approaches by the adoption of a biopsychosocial perspective, thus acting on environmental factors so as to increase facilitators and diminish barriers. Specifically, vulnerable people should not face discrimination because of their vulnerability in the allocation of care or life-sustaining treatments. Adoption of biopsychosocial model helps to identify key elements where to act to diminish effects of the pandemics.

Reconsideration of the scheme of the international classification of functioning, disability and health: incentives from the Netherlands for a global debate.

Purpose: The ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) framework (used worldwide to describe 'functioning' and 'disability'), including the ICF scheme (visualization of functioning as result of interaction with health condition and contextual factors), needs reconsideration. The purpose of this article is to discuss alternative ICF schemes.

Method: Reconsideration of ICF via literature review and discussions with 23 Dutch ICF experts.
