Many of them already have a lot of knowledge and experience, but it is not always easy to quickly adapt to the Dutch healthcare system and a new language. That is why the programme \"Empowering Newcomers Nurses\" was developed.\n\nThis study aims to better understand how the programme works in practice. Participants and supervisors will be asked about their experiences to identify what works well and what could be improved. The costs and the benefits are also taken into account. The results will be used to further improve the programme.\n\nIt will also be assessed whether the work environment is inclusive and welcoming for participants. For example, this may involve (unconscious) microaggressions, exclusion, or negative comments, including those that may be discriminatory or racist. By making these experiences visible, it becomes easier to address them and make improvements. In addition, scientific articles will be published so that other hospitals can also learn from these insights.\n\nWho can participate? Nursing newcomers who are already participating in the programme or who will start the programme soon are invited to take part in the study. Sometimes participants with another paramedical background also take part. For this study, it is expected that over a period of 9 years about 160-230 participants will take part in total, of whom 120-150 will be from the northern region of the Netherlands. This number is not strictly required, but it helps to better understand how the programme works, what works well, and where improvements may be possible. In this way, a more complete picture of the programme can be obtained.",[26,27,28,29,30],"Education, Professional","Refugees","Nursing","Migrants","Cultural Diversity",[30,27,32,28,26,33,34],"Credentialing","Transients and Migrants","Social Integration","RECRUITING","2026-03-24",{"date":38,"type":39},"2026-03-30","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":39},"2022-03-04",{"date":43,"type":21},"2031-03-01",{"name":45,"class":46},"University Medical Center Groningen","OTHER",1,{"id":49,"slug":50,"hasResults":11,"nctId":51,"briefTitle":52,"officialTitle":53,"acronym":54,"eligibilityCriteria":55,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":18,"minAge":56,"maxAge":57,"enrollmentInfo":58,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":60,"phases":61,"briefSummary":63,"conditions":64,"keywords":66,"overallStatus":72,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":73,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":74,"startDateStruct":76,"completionDateStruct":78,"leadSponsor":80,"locationsCount":4},"100627764","community-based-occupational-therapy-for-syrian-refugees-to-improve-social-participation-and-occupational-justice-100627764","NCT07452874","Community-Based Occupational Therapy for Syrian Refugees to Improve Social Participation and Occupational Justice","The Effect of a Community-Based Occupational Therapy Intervention on Occupational Justice and Social Participation in Syrian Refugees: A Non-Invasive Clinical Study","COT-SYR-25","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Being a Syrian refugee,\n* Being 18 years of age or older,\n* Having sufficient Turkish language proficiency to communicate effectively,\n* Willingness to participate in the study voluntarily and providing written informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Inability to communicate in Turkish,\n* Presence of a cognitive or neurological condition that may interfere with communication or participation in the assessment\n* Presence of a serious health condition that may prevent regular attendance at the intervention or educational sessions.","18 Years","65 Years",{"count":59,"type":21},16,"INTERVENTIONAL",[62],"NA","This study aims to examine the effects of a community-based occupational therapy intervention on occupational justice, participation in daily life activities, occupational performance, satisfaction, and overall functioning among Syrian refugees living in Turkey. Refugees frequently encounter social, economic, and environmental barriers that restrict their engagement in meaningful daily activities and negatively affect their sense of autonomy, belonging, and participation. Addressing these complex challenges requires interventions that extend beyond individual skill development and actively target social participation, access to community resources, and justice in everyday occupations.\n\nIn this study, a structured community-based occupational therapy intervention has been developed based on the Participatory Occupational Justice Framework. The intervention is designed to enhance participants' access to community resources, support engagement in meaningful daily activities, strengthen social participation, and promote empowerment and self-determination. The program consists of group-based, activity-oriented sessions implemented within real-life community settings to facilitate contextualized learning and participation.\n\nA total of 16 adult Syrian refugees are planned to be enrolled in the study and assigned to either an intervention group or a control group using a parallel-group design. Participants in the intervention group will receive a five-week community-based occupational therapy program comprising ten structured sessions. Participants in the control group will receive a single informational session focusing on daily life and available services in Turkey. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and immediately after the intervention using standardized measures of occupational justice, occupational performance and satisfaction, participation in daily activities, and overall functioning.\n\nThe findings of this study are expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of community-based occupational therapy interventions in promoting occupational justice, participation, and functional well-being among refugee populations. The results are also anticipated to contribute to the development of rights-based, inclusive, and participation-focused rehabilitation practices for forcibly displaced communities.",[27,65],"Occupational Injustice",[67,27,68,69,70,71],"Community-based occupational therapy","Occupational justice","Social participation","Occupational performance","Participatory Occupational Justice Framework","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-03-09",{"date":75,"type":39},"2026-03-11",{"date":77,"type":21},"2026-03-05",{"date":79,"type":21},"2026-06-08",{"name":81,"class":46},"Kocaeli University"]
