Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary targets are the rate of non-responders and the rate of aftercare dropouts.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
At all four measurement points, a standardised questionnaire (IRES-3) is used to record the state of health, functional capability and health behaviour. In addition, rehabilitants are asked about their ability to work (e.g. WAI), their employment status and the severity of their pain. Subjective health status The subjective health status is determined using the indicators of rehab congestion (IRES). The IRES is one of the most frequently used generic survey instruments for recording subjective health status. It is used in the field of rehabilitation research to determine the rehabilitation status and to monitor the success of the measure, as well as to compare different forms of therapy. IRES is ICF-based and examines somatic symptoms and functions, psychological well-being, coping factors and occupational functioning. A version of the IRES is available for the beginning, the end and the follow-up after rehabilitation. Depending on the time of the survey, the IRES consists of 144, 75 or 125 items. The IRES maps 8 dimensions: 1) somatic health, 2) pain, 3) health behaviour, 4) physical functioning, 5) occupational functioning, 6) psychological well-being, 7) disease management and 8) social integration. The answer format usually consists of a 5-7 level Likert scale (e.g. 1: very strong to 6: not at all 6). Sociodemographic features If the relevant sociodemographic characteristics have not already been collected with the IRES, these data will be collected according to the proposals for the sociodemographic core data set in rehabilitation science research. Treatment satisfaction It is important that rehabilitants are adequately informed, treated, cared for and prepared for the time after rehabilitation. The extent to which these points are taken into account by the new treatment concept is to be illustrated by recording patient satisfaction. In order to record general treatment satisfaction, the questionnaire for measuring patient satisfaction (ZUF-8) is to be us
