Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The general goal of exercise therapy feedback is to improve the subjective treatment outcome and patient satisfaction. Data is collected using quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are: - Generic subjective treatment outcome (T0, T1, T2): Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI; Cleeland, 2009; Cleeland & Ryan, 1994); - Disorder-specific subjective treatment outcome (T0, T1, T2): Neck-Pain and Disability Questionnaire (NPAD; Blozik et al., 2010), Shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (QuickDASH; Gummesson et al. 2006), Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ; Roland & Fairbank 2000); - Patient satisfaction (T1, T2): ZUF-8 (Schmidt, J., Lamprecht, F., Wittmann, W.W., 1989) Qualitative semi-structured interviews with all stakeholders involved (therapeutic team, patients) are used to gather additional information about subjective treatment outcome and rehabilitation satisfaction. In addition, subjective success criteria of the rehabilitation programme are explored from the patient's point of view. | — |

| The subjective assessment of work ability is recorded as the distal outcome. Work Ability (T0, T1, T2): Work Ability Score (WAS; Ahlstrom et al., 2010) In the course of an accompanying evaluation, self-developed, intervention-specific questionnaires are used to collect data on the following topics: - reaching target audience - acceptance - satisfaction - feasibility | — |
