SPRiNG PhD research
Jos is currently conducting PhD research in the Work and Health research programme of Research Centre Innovations in Care. His research is directed at measuring and monitoring the most important determinants of dropout due to physical workload among nursing students and newly graduated nurses. This will lead to interventions that can be used to prevent students from dropping out of nursing education and newly graduated nurses from leaving the profession. His research will investigate the effects of these interventions.
