Health sciences are a three‐year bachelor's programme that focuses on the relations between health, behaviour, nutrition, environment, social environment and health care. Graduates do not obtain a professional registration.
Home care provision is a three‐year study on the secondary vocational level. Graduates receive a professional registration, and their responsibilities include dressing up patients, washing them and providing basic medication. In the Netherlands, three levels of tertiary education are distinguished: secondary vocational education, university of applied sciences and university (ordered from practice‐oriented to theory‐oriented). In this study, one institution of all three levels was included, and PAP‐groups contained students from all three educational institutions.
86 EBEs participated 108 times with a range of one to three times per person.
Some teachers led the groups in pairs, whereas others led them alone.
