Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary target criterion is the motivation for a regular termination of ambulant after-care is measured at the beginning (T0) and at the end (T1) of after-care using standardized questionnaires. Participation motivation is assessed using a questionnaire (start of follow-up care (T0) and six months after onset of after-care (T1)). In the intervention group the influence of a therapy book on the increase in motivation for the regular termination of ambulant aftercare is examined. The questionnaire T0 contains the following scales: The scales of emotional support (EU, 16 items) and social integration (SI, 13 items) from the questionnaire on social assistance (F-SozU), the symptom checklist (SCL-90, 90 items) as well as 7 sociodemographic items. In addition, 13 items of a self-developed scale question the expectation of ambulant after-care and rehabilitation-related parameters. The questionnaire T1 contains the following scales: The scales of emotional support (EU, 16 items) and social integration (SI, 13 items) from the questionnaire on social assistance (F-SozU), the symptom checklist (SCL-90, 90 items) as well as 7 sociodemographic items. A self-developed scale (27 items) records the experience with ambulant after-care.	—
