  • increased mumps incidence in the netherlands review on the possible role of vaccine strain and genotype
    Eurosurveillance, 2008
    Co-Authors: P Kaaijk, Van Der Zeijst B, M Boog, C Hoitink
    Abstract:

    As reported in a recent issue of Eurosurveillance, a mumps outbreak is ongoing in the Netherlands despite high vaccination coverage of 90-95% [1]. The reported mumps cases are restricted to geographic regions with a high percentage of residents who are members of a Religious Community that rejects vaccination. Consequently, two thirds of the mumps patients were not vaccinated. However, also vaccinated individuals in these regions were affected [1]. Since 1987, the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) combination vaccine produced by the Netherlands Vaccine Institute (NVI) is part of the Dutch national immunisation programme and administered at the ages of 14 months and nine years.

  • religion and life meaning differentiating between Religious beliefs and Religious Community in constructing life meaning
    Journal of Aging Studies, 2004
    Co-Authors: Susan K Fletcher
    Abstract:

    Abstract Religion is one of the major resources used to generate meaning in life. An individual's religion involves not only a set of beliefs, but also an involvement in a Community of like-minded others. The purpose of this study is to differentiate between Religious beliefs and Religious Community in constructing life meaning at the end stage of life. Twelve women, who resided at various assisted-living facilities, participated in qualitative interviews about the current and past meaning of religion in their lives. They were distributed among fundamental Christian, Catholic, liberal Protestant, and Jewish faiths. Differences between and within the groups were the result of the content, as well as certainty, of belief. These differences influenced the sufficiency of a belief system to construct life meaning. When belief alone was insufficient, life meaning was supplemented with social and secular interactions.
