Implementing a Gender-sensitive Multidisciplinary Lifestyle Approach for women with type 2 diabetes in Oujda, Morocco (GLAMOUR)
Abstract
This project coaches women with Type 2 Diabetes towards a healthier lifestyle and increases their physical activity. In the city of Oujda in Morocco, a safe women-only lifestyle centre opens under supervision of trained female nurses from the adjacent local health centre and a female project coordinator from the local university. The centre becomes a hub bridging practice, education and research. Patients become agents of change in inspiring and instructing other patients towards prevention and treatment of Type 2 Diabetes. Nurses become more apt in their task of diabetes management. Female PhD researchers study the benefits and pitfalls of a gender-sensitive approach. Hence, incentivising education of female nurses and female leadership in health and research, the medical and social outcome, in female T2D patients improves.Researcher(s)

Changing towards a cultural-sensitive multidisciplinary lifestyle approach for women with type 2 diabetes in Oujda, Morocco.
Abstract
This South Initiative is the first step towards a long-term general objective that aims to improve the quality of life and well-being of people living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the Oujda region by developing a multidisciplinary approach in the management of T2D, based upon international guidelines but adapted to the regional socio-economic and cultural context, and with a focus on empowerment of Muslim women. The intermediate results of this SI project proposal are: 1) Facilitators and perceived barriers in female patients with T2D towards change to a healthier lifestyle are known. 2) Characteristics of patients with T2D in the region of Oujda (prevalence, lifestyle, age, gender,…) are analysed. 3) Master and bachelor students have gained experience by participating to relevant research. 4) All involved stakeholders shared existing and newly ac-quired knowledge and expertise. 5) Facilitators and perceived barriers in health professionals of different disciplines to work together in the management of T2D are known.Researcher(s)

Study of workload and time spent by nurses.
Abstract
This research aims to objectively map the time spent by nurses in five different settings (home care, residential care centres and in hospitals on geriatric, surgical and internist services), supplemented by a self-reporting questionnaire on the perceived workload and workload. This set-up makes it possible to map the link between the time spent and the experienced workload and workload. During this research, the following research questions will be answered: - How does the time spent by nurses influence their experienced workload and workload in home care? - How does the time spent by nurses influence their experienced workload and workload in residential care centres? - How does the time spent by nurses influence their experienced workload and workload on geriatric services in hospitals? - How does the time spent by nurses influence their experienced workload and workload on surgical services in hospitals? - How does the time spent by nurses influence their experienced workload and workload on internist services in hospitals? This study also provides insight into the following questions: - How much time do nurses spend on their professional duties and how is their working time filled in? - How is this time divided over the day and week cycle? - How does the context play a role (degree of social interaction, locations, ...)? - Are there differences in terms of gender, employment status, organisation, experience, etc.?Researcher(s)
