This project aims to develop a network and method for working with the Zorg voor Zingeving (ZvZ – Care for Meaning) guide in the home setting in an understandable and practical way. This enables the knowledge and materials from the project to be used nationwide to better support people at home and improve their well-being.
The Care for Meaning guide offers care providers tools for supporting clients in exploring and experiencing meaning in the home environment, particularly in palliative care.
Care for Meaning (ZvZ) at home is of great social importance. Broad partnerships of practice organizations, research institutions, and other partners have worked hard in recent years to develop materials, tools, and methods that promote ZvZ in the home setting.
However, there has been little time since to sustainably implement these development initiatives and ensure effective knowledge utilization. Such knowledge utilization requires language that goes beyond barriers and facilitators or a simple practical implementation guideline. Therefore, this project develops a sustainable implementation network and a narrative implementation methodology to enable the developed knowledge and materials to contribute nationwide to meaningful ZvZ, with the goal of improving people’s well-being at home. This will be achieved by:
- facilitating, inspiring, advising, and monitoring a learning hub in which
- (practice) stories and lessons learned from dissemination and implementation impulses (VIMPs) are integrated with scientific implementation knowledge and techniques; to
- develop a narrative method for implementation plans; and
- ensure knowledge utilization by target group and theme through process guides and protocols; ultimately
- establishing a sustainable, nationwide implementation network by embedding the learning hub, aligned with current developments in the practice of ZvZ and spiritual care at home (GV-Thuis), and the knowledge infrastructure.
