van Gils, R.H.J. (author), Wauben, L.S.G.L. (author), Helder, Onno K. (author)Introduction Growth monitoring of preterm infants is essential for assessing the nutritional effects on their growth. The current growth monitoring techniques are too stressful, however, for the smallest preterm infants. We performed a systematic review to summarize studies on stress-free techniques for measuring the body size of preterm...review 2022

Dekker-Van Doorn, Connie (author), Wauben, L.S.G.L. (author), Van Wijngaarden, Jeroen (author), Lange, Johan (author), Huijsman, Robbert (author)Background: Most interventions to improve patient safety (Patient Safety Practices (PSPs)), are introduced without engaging front-line professionals. Administrative staff, managers and sometimes a few professionals, representing only one or two disciplines, decide what to change and how. Consequently, PSPs are not fully adapted to the...journal article 2020
