Key recommendations for ebCR indications have recently been published in part 1 of this journal. The present part 2 updates the evidence with respect to contents and delivery of ebCR in clinical practice, focusing on exercise training (ET), psychological interventions (PI), patient education (PE). In addition, special patients' groups and new developments, such as telemedical (Tele) or home-based ebCR, are discussed as well. Methods: Generation of evidence and search of literature have been described in part 1. Results: Well documented evidence confirms the prognostic significance of ET in patients with coronary artery disease. Positive clinical effects of ET are described in patients with congestive heart failure, heart valve surgery or intervention, adults with congenital heart disease, and peripheral arterial disease. Specific recommendations for risk stratification and adequate exercise prescription for continuous-, interval-, and strength training are given in detail. PI when added to ebCR did not show significant positive effects in general. There was a positive trend towards reduction in depressive symptoms for "distress management" and "lifestyle changes". PE is able to increase patients' knowledge and motivation, as well as behavior changes, regarding physical activity, dietary habits, and smoking cessation. The evidence for distinct ebCR programs in special patients' groups is less clear. Studies on Tele-CR predominantly included low-risk patients. Hence, it is questionable, whether clinical results derived from studies in conventional ebCR may be transferred to Tele-CR. Conclusions: ET is the cornerstone of ebCR. Additional PI should be included, adjusted to the needs of the individual patient. PE is able to promote patients self-management, empowerment, and motivation. Diversity-sensitive structures should be established to interact with the needs of special patient groups and gender issues. Tele-CR should be further investigated as a valuable tool to implement ebCR more widely and effectively.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Brueser2020, author = {Br{\"u}ser, Judith}, title = {Pr{\"u}fung der Effektivit{\"a}t eines interdisziplin{\"a}ren psychokardiologischen Behandlungsprogrammes auf die Reduktion von Depressivit{\"a}t, Angst und Panik und die Verbesserung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualit{\"a}t bei psychisch belasteten kardiologischen Rehabilitanden}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-19823}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-198233}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2020}, abstract = {In dieser Arbeit wurde gepr{\"u}ft, ob ein leitlinienkonformes psychokardiologisches Behandlungskonzept einer herk{\"o}mmlichen kardiologischen Behandlung bei psychisch belasteten kardiologischen Rehabilitanden in der Reduktion von Angst, Depression und Panik (prim{\"a}re Zielkriterien) und einer Verbesserung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualit{\"a}t (sekund{\"a}re Zielparameter) {\"u}berlegen ist.

Among patients with prostate cancer (PCa), findings on depression and anxiety are limited. Methods We analyzed data of PCa patients selected from a German multi-center study. Depression and anxiety were assessed with the PHQ-9 and the GAD-7 (cut-off ≥7). We provided physical symptom burden, calculated absolute and relative risk (AR and RR) of depression and anxiety across patient subsets and between patients and the general population (GP) and tested age as a moderator within the relationship of disease-specific symptoms with depression and anxiety. Results Among 636 participants, the majority reported disease-specific problems (sexuality: 60\%; urination: 52\%). AR for depression and anxiety was 23\% and 22\%, respectively. Significant RR were small, with higher risks of distress in patients who are younger (eg, RR\(_{depression}\) = 1.15; 95\%-CI: 1.06-1.26), treated with chemotherapy (RR\(_{depression}\)n = 1.46; 95\%-CI: 1.09-1.96) or having metastases (RR\(_{depression}\) = 1.30; 95\%-CI: 1.02-1.65). Risk of distress was slightly elevated compared to GP (eg, RR\(_{depression}\) = 1.13; 95\%-CI: 1.07-1.19). Age moderated the relationship between symptoms and anxiety (B\(_{urination}\) = -0.10, P = .02; B\(_{sexuality}\) = -0.11, P = .01). Conclusions Younger patients, those with metastases or treatment with chemotherapy seem to be at elevated risk for distress and should be closely monitored.

Information on individual needs of patients andtheir relatives as well as on treatment patterns in clinical routine care for this specific patient group are lacking or arenot routinely documented in established Cancer Registries. Thus, we developed a registry concept specifically adaptedfor these incurable patients comprising primary and secondary data as well as mobile-health (m-health) data. Methods: The concept for patient-centered "Breast cancer care for patients with metastatic disease"(BRE-4-MED)registry was developed and piloted exemplarily in the region of Main-Franconia, a mainly rural region in Germanycomprising about 1.3 M inhabitants. The registry concept includes data on diagnosis, therapy, progression, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and needs of family members from several sources of information includingroutine data from established Cancer Registries in different federal states, treating physicians in hospital as well as inoutpatient settings, patients with metastatic breast cancer and their family members. Linkage with routine cancerregistry data was performed to collect secondary data on diagnosis, therapy, and progression. Paper and online-basedquestionnaires were used to assess PROMs. A dedicated mobile application software (APP) was developed to monitorneeds, progression, and therapy change of individual patients. Patient's acceptance and feasibility of data collection inclinical routine was assessed within a proof-of-concept study. Results: The concept for the BRE-4-MED registry was developed and piloted between September 2017 and May 2018.In total n= 31 patients were included in the pilot study, n= 22 patients were followed up after 1 month.

However, little is known about the effectiveness of routine rehabilitation interventions within the German healthcare system. Due to the nature of the social insurance system in Germany, randomised controlled trials examining the effects of rehabilitation interventions are challenging to implement and scarcely accessible. Consequently, alternative pre-post designs can be employed to assess pre-post effects of medical rehabilitation programmes. We present a protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis methods to assess the pre-post effects of rehabilitation interventions in Germany. Methods and analysis The respective study will be conducted within the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. A systematic literature review will be conducted to identify studies reporting the pre-post effects (start of intervention vs end of intervention or later) in German healthcare. Studies investigating the following disease groups will be included: orthopaedics, rheumatology, oncology, pulmonology, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology and psychosomatics. The primary outcomes of interest are physical/mental quality of life, physical functioning and social participation for all disease groups as well as pain (orthopaedic and rheumatologic patients only), blood pressure (cardiac patients only), asthma control (patients with asthma only), dyspnoea (patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease only) and depression/anxiety (psychosomatic patients only). We will invite the principal investigators of the identified studies to provide additional individual patient data. We aim to perform the meta-analyses using individual patient data as well as aggregate data. We will examine the effects of both study-level and patient-level moderators by using a meta-regression method. Ethics and dissemination Only studies that have received institutional approval from an ethics committee and present anonymised individual patient data will be included in the meta-analysis.

To assess whether an individual meets the medical requirements to be considered as disabled, a work capacity evaluation is conducted. However, there are no official guidelines on how to perform an external quality assurance for this evaluation process. Furthermore, the quality of medical reports in the field of insurance medicine can vary substantially, and systematic evaluations are scarce. Reliability studies using peer review have repeatedly shown insufficient ability to distinguish between high, moderate and low quality. Considering literature recommendations, we developed an instrument to examine the quality of medical experts'reports. Methods: The peer review manual developed contains six quality domains (formal structure, clarity, transparency, completeness, medical-scientific principles, and efficiency) comprising 22 items. In addition, a superordinate criterion (survey confirmability) rank the overall quality and usefulness of a report. This criterion evaluates problems of innerlogic and reasoning. Development of the manual was assisted by experienced physicians in a pre-test. We examined the observable variance in peer judgements and reliability as the most important outcome criteria. To evaluate inter-rater reliability, 20 anonymous experts' reports detailing the work capacity evaluation were reviewed by 19 trained raters (peers). Percentage agreement and Kendall's W, a reliability measure of concordance between two or more peers, were calculated. A total of 325 reviews were conducted. Results: Agreement of peer judgements with respect to the superordinate criterion ranged from 29.2 to 87.5\%. Kendall's W for the quality domain items varied greatly, ranging from 0.09 to 0.88. With respect to the superordinate criterion, Kendall's W was 0.39, which indicates fair agreement. The results of the percentage agreement revealed systemic peer preferences for certain deficit scale categories. Conclusion: The superordinate criterion was not sufficiently reliable. However, in comparison to other reliability studies, this criterion showed an equivalent reliability value. This report aims to encourage further efforts to improve evaluation instruments. To reduce disagreement between peer judgments, we propose the revision of the peer review instrumentand the development and implementation of a standardized rater training to improve reliability.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Banduch2018, author = {Banduch, Emilia}, title = {Soziodemographie, Psychopathologie und Pers{\"o}nlichkeitsfaktoren von „Heavy Usern" mit anorektischen und bulimischen Essst{\"o}rungen}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-156338}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Seit Jahren wird trotz der stetigen Modernisierung der medizinischen Versorgungsleistungen ein Anstieg der station{\"a}ren Einweisungen in den psychiatrischen Kliniken registriert.

The current study investigates the criterion validity of the CCQ, CAT and mMRC scale based on a reference cutoff point of St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) ≥25, as suggested by GOLD, following sensitivity and specificity analysis. In addition, areas under the curve (AUCs) of the CCQ, CAT, and mMRC scale were compared using two SGRQ cutoff points (≥25 and ≥20). Materials and methods: Two data sets were used: study A, 238 patients from a pulmonary rehabilitation program; and study B, 101 patients from primary care. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the correspondence between the recommended cutoff points of the questionnaires. Results: Sensitivity, specificity, and AUC scores for cutoff point SGRQ ≥25 were: study A, 0.99, 0.43, and 0.96 for CCQ ≥1, 0.92, 0.48, and 0.89 for CAT ≥10, and 0.68, 0.91, and 0.91 for mMRC ≥2; study B, 0.87, 0.77, and 0.9 for CCQ ≥1, 0.76, 0.73, and 0.82 for CAT ≥10, and 0.21, 1, and 0.81 for mMRC ≥2.

Conclusion: Based on data from these two different samples, this study showed that the suggested cutoff point for the SGRQ (≥25) did not seem to correspond well with the established cutoff points of the CCQ or CAT scales, resulting in low specificity levels.

Of these, 15,000 will receive a conventional and 3,000 a work-related medical rehabilitation. We expect a participation rate of 40 \% at baseline. Patients will be aged 18 to 65 years and have chronic musculoskeletal disorders, usually back pain. The control group will receive a conventional medical rehabilitation program without any explicit focus on work, work ability and return to work in diagnostics and therapy. The intervention group will receive a work-related medical rehabilitation program that in addition to common rehabilitation treatments contains 11 to 25 h of work-related treatment modules. Follow-up data will be assessed three and ten months after patients' discharge from the rehabilitation center. Additionally, department characteristics will be assessed and administrative data records used. The primary outcomes are sick leave duration, stable return to work and subjective work ability. Secondary outcomes cover several dimensions of health, functioning and coping strategies. Discussion This study will determine the relative effectiveness of a complex, newly implemented work-related rehabilitation strategy for patients with musculoskeletal disorders.}, language = {en} } @article{PetersFallerPfeiferetal.2016, author = {Peters, Stefan and Faller, Hermann and Pfeifer, Klaus and Meng, Karin}, title = {Experiences of Rehabilitation Professionals with the Implementation of a Back School for Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Qualitative Study}, series = {Rehabilitation Research and Practice}, volume = {2016}, journal = {Rehabilitation Research and Practice}, number = {9}, doi = {10.1155/2016/6720783}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-146053}, pages = {6720783}, year = {2016}, abstract = {A standardized curriculum back school (CBS) has been recommended for further dissemination in medical rehabilitation in Germany.

In low back pain care, individual factors of professionals could be decisive regarding implementation fidelity. The study aim was to explore attitudes and experiences of professionals who conducted the back school. Qualitative interviews were led with 45 rehabilitation professionals. The data were examined using thematic analysis. Three central themes were identified: (a) "back school as a common thread," (b) "theory versus practice," and (c) "participation and patient-centeredness." The CBS and its manual were frequently described positively because they provide structure. However, specified time was mentioned critically and there were heterogeneous perceptions regarding flexibility in conducting the CBS. Theory and practice in the CBS were discussed concerning amount, distribution, and conjunction. Participation and patient-centeredness were mainly mentioned in terms of amount and heterogeneity of participation as well as the demand for competences of professionals. Factors were detected that may either positively or negatively influence the implementation fidelity of self-management education programs. The results are explorative and provide potential explanatory mechanisms for behavior and acceptance of rehabilitation professionals regarding the implementation of biopsychosocial back schools.}, language = {en} } @article{MusekampGerlichEhlebrachtKoenigetal.2016, author = {Musekamp, Gunda and Gerlich, Christian and Ehlebracht-K{\"o}nig, Inge and Faller, Hermann and Reusch, Andrea}, title = {Evaluation of a self-management patient education program for patients with fibromyalgia syndrome: study protocol of a cluster randomized controlled trial}, series = {BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders}, volume = {17}, journal = {BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders}, number = {55}, doi = {10.1186/s12891-016-0903-4}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-146075}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Background Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex chronic condition that makes high demands on patients' self-management skills. Thus, patient education is considered an important component of multimodal therapy, although evidence regarding its effectiveness is scarce. The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an advanced self-management patient education program for patients with FMS as compared to usual care in the context of inpatient rehabilitation. Methods/Design We conducted a multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial in 3 rehabilitation clinics. Clusters are groups of patients with FMS consecutively recruited within one week after admission. Patients of the intervention group receive the advanced multidisciplinary self-management patient education program (considering new knowledge on FMS, with a focus on transfer into everyday life), whereas patients in the control group receive standard patient education programs including information on FMS and coping with pain. A total of 566 patients are assessed at admission, at discharge and after 6 and 12 months, using patient reported questionnaires. Primary outcomes are patients' disease- and treatment-specific knowledge at discharge and self-management skills after 6 months. Secondary outcomes include satisfaction, attitudes and coping competences, health-promoting behavior, psychological distress, health impairment and participation. Treatment effects between groups are evaluated using multilevel regression analysis adjusting for baseline values.

This is the first study that aimed to establish the MCID of the Clinical chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Questionnaire (CCQ), the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) in the same pulmonary rehabilitation population using multiple approaches. In total, 451 COPD patients participated in a 3-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) programme (58 years, 65\% male, 43 pack-years, GOLD stage II/III/IV 50/39/11\%). Techniques used to assess the MCID were anchor-based approaches, including patient-referencing, criterion-referencing and questionnaire-referencing, and the distribution-based methods standard error of measurement (SEM), 1.96SEM and half standard deviation (0.5s.d.). Patient- and criterion-referencing led to MCID estimates of 0.56 and 0.62 (CCQ); 3.12 and 2.96 (CAT); and 8.40 and 9.28 (SGRQ). Questionnaire-referencing suggested MCID ranges of 0.28-0.61 (CCQ), 1.46-3.08 (CAT) and 6.86-9.47 (SGRQ). The SEM, 1.96SEM and 0.5s.d. were 0.29, 0.56 and 0.46 (CCQ); 3.28, 6.43 and 2.80 (CAT); 5.20, 10.19 and 6.06 (SGRQ). Pooled estimates were 0.52 (CCQ), 3.29 (CAT) and 7.91 (SGRQ) for improvement. MCID estimates differed depending on the method used. Pooled estimates suggest clinically relevant improvements needing to exceed 0.40 on the CCQ, 3.00 on the CAT and 7.00 on the SGRQ for moderate to very severe COPD patients. The MCIDs of the CAT and SGRQ in the literature might be too low, leading to overestimation of treatment effects for patients with COPD.}, language = {en} } @article{SemrauHentschkeBuchmannetal.2015, author = {Semrau, Jana and Hentschke, Christian and Buchmann, Jana and Meng, Karin and Vogel, Heiner and Faller, Hermann and Bork, Hartmut and Pfeifer, Klaus}, title = {Long-term effects of interprofessional biopsychosocial rehabilitation for adults with chronic non-specific low back pain: a multicentre, quasi-experimental study}, series = {PLoS ONE}, volume = {10}, journal = {PLoS ONE}, number = {3}, doi = {10.1371/ journal.pone.0118609}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-143594}, pages = {e0118609}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Background Improvement of the long-term effectiveness of multidisciplinary ortho-paedic rehabilitation (MOR) in the management of chronic non-specific low back pain (CLBP) remains a central issue for health care in Germany. We developed an interprofessional and interdisciplinary, biopsychosocial rehabilitation concept named "PASTOR" to promote self-management in adults with CLBP and compared its effectiveness with the current model of MOR. Methods A multicentre quasi-experimental study with three measurement time points was implemented. 680 adults aged 18 to 65 with CLBP were assed for eligibil-ity in three inpatient rehabilitation centres in Germany. At first the effects of the MOR, with a total extent of 48 hours (control group), were assessed. Thereafter, PASTOR was implemented and evaluated in the same centres (intervention group). It consisted of six interprofessional modules, which were provided on 12 days in fixed groups, with a total extent of 48 hours. Participants were assessed with self-report measures at baseline, discharge, and 12 months for functional ability (primary outcome) using the Hannover Functional Ability Questionnaire (FFbH-R) and vari-ous secondary outcomes (e.g. pain, health status, physical activity, pain coping, pain-related cognitions). Results In total 536 participants were consecutively assigned to PASTOR (n=266) or MOR (n=270). At 12 months, complete data of 368 participants was available. The adjusted between-roup difference in the FFbH-R at 12 months was 6.58 (95\% CI 3.38 to 9.78) using complete data and 3.56 (95\% CI 0.45 to 6.67) using available da-ta, corresponding to significant small-to-medium effect sizes of d=0.42 (p<0.001) and d=0.10 (p=0.025) in favour of PASTOR. Further improvements in secondary out-comes were also observed in favour of PASTOR. Conclusion The interprofessional and interdisciplinary, biopsychosocial rehabilita-tion program PASTOR shows some improvements of the long-term effectiveness of inpatient rehabilitation in the management of adults with CLBP.

Im Rahmen der Psychoonkologie wurde in den vergangenen Jahren den psycho-sozialen Problemen Krebserkrankter immer mehr Beachtung geschenkt. Dennoch werden im klinischen Alltag manifeste psychische St{\"o}rungen bei onkologischen Patienten zu selten erkannt und folglich nicht therapiert. Um dieser Unterversorgung entgegen zu wirken, wird nach Pr{\"a}diktoren psychischer St{\"o}rungen bei Krebserkrankten geforscht, mit deren Hilfe betroffene Personen leichter erfasst werden k{\"o}nnten. Auch die vorliegende Arbeit diente dem Ziel, Pr{\"a}diktoren einer psychischen Erkrankung bei Krebserkrankten zu ermitteln. Hierzu wurden m{\"o}gliche Zusammenh{\"a}nge zwischen psychischer St{\"o}rung und soziodemographischen, medizinischen sowie psychosozialen Merkmale gepr{\"u}ft. Daneben sollte die Pr{\"a}valenz psychischer St{\"o}rungen in der Stichprobe erhoben werden. Der Untersuchung liegen die Daten aus dem Studienzentrum W{\"u}rzburg zugrunde, die im Rahmen einer von der Deutschen Krebshilfe unterst{\"u}tzten, multizentrischen Studie („Pr{\"a}valenz psychosozialer Belastungen, psychischer St{\"o}rungen und ihr Behandlungsbedarf bei Tumorpatienten") erhoben wurden. An der Untersuchung nahmen in W{\"u}rzburg insgesamt 742 Krebserkrankte mit unterschiedlichen Tumorlokalisationen, Tumorstadien und Behandlungssettings teil. Gem{\"a}ß eines zweistufigen Studiendesigns sollte bei allen Screening-positiven (PHQ ≥ 9) und der H{\"a}lfte der Screening-negativen Patienten (PHQ < 9), folglich bei 437 Studienteilnehmern, ein diagnostisches Interview zur Erfassung psychischer St{\"o}rungen (Composite International Diagnostic Interview) durchgef{\"u}hrt werden. Zus{\"a}tzlich wurden soziodemographische, medizinische und psychosoziale Merkmale erhoben. M{\"o}gliche Zusammenh{\"a}nge zwischen den erhobenen Variablen und einer psychischen St{\"o}rung wurden bivariat sowie multivariat mit einer logistischen Regression untersucht. Die ermittelte 1 Monatspr{\"a}valenz psychischer St{\"o}rungen bei Krebserkrankten betrug 18,5\%, die 12 Monatspr{\"a}valenz 24,4\% und die Lebenszeitpr{\"a}valenz 42,0\%. Bei Betrachtung des 1 Monatsintervalls waren Angstst{\"o}rungen mit 11,2\%, affektive St{\"o}rungen mit 5,9\% und somatoforme St{\"o}rungen mit 3,1\% am h{\"a}ufigsten vertreten. Als unabh{\"a}ngige Pr{\"a}diktoren einer psychischen St{\"o}rung bei Krebserkrankten stellten sich ein weibliches Geschlecht, j{\"u}ngeres Alter, eine l{\"a}ngere Zeit seit aktueller Diagnosestellung, eine st{\"a}rker negative soziale Interaktion (SSUK 8) sowie das Vorliegen eines praktischen Problems (NCCN-Distress-Problemliste) heraus. Desweiteren ergaben sich signifikante bivariate Zusammenh{\"a}nge zwischen einer psychischen St{\"o}rung und den folgenden Merkmalen: niedrigere subjektiv eingesch{\"a}tzte k{\"o}rperliche Funktionsf{\"a}higkeit (EORTC QLQ-C30), Angabe von Schmerzen im Zusammenhang mit der Krebserkrankung, abgeschlossene Strahlentherapie, allgemeine psychische Belastung (PHQ-9, HADS, GAD 7, NCCN-Distress-Thermometer), Vorliegen eines famili{\"a}ren Problems (NCCN-Distress-Problemliste), Inanspruchnahme psychotherapeutischer / psychologischer / seel-sorgerischer / sozialrechtlicher Unterst{\"u}tzung sowie Nutzen eines Internetforums mit Betroffenen. Die in der vorliegenden Arbeit ermittelte Punktpr{\"a}valenz psychischer St{\"o}rungen bei Krebserkrankten steht weitgehend in Einklang mit den bisherigen Ergebnissen aus der Forschung. Sie deckt sich damit auch in etwa mit der H{\"a}ufigkeit in der Allgemeinbev{\"o}lkerung. Allerdings scheinen Angstst{\"o}rungen im onkologischen Setting etwas h{\"a}ufiger aufzutreten. Wie in der Allgemeinbev{\"o}lkerung sind auch im onkologischen Bereich ein weibliches Geschlecht und j{\"u}ngeres Alter Risikofaktoren einer psychischen St{\"o}rung. Medizinische Faktoren scheinen bez{\"u}glich der Voraussage einer psychischen Erkrankung von untergeordneter Bedeutung zu sein.

However, specific information on program features and educational strategies enhancing treatment success is lacking. This trial aims to evaluate a patient-oriented and theory-based self-management educational group program as compared to usual care education during inpatient cardiac rehabilitation in Germany. Methods/Design The study is a multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial in four cardiac rehabilitation clinics. Clusters are patient education groups that comprise HF patients recruited within 2 weeks after commencement of inpatient cardiac rehabilitation. Cluster randomization was chosen for pragmatic reasons, i.e. to ensure a sufficient number of eligible patients to build large-enough educational groups and to prevent contamination by interaction of patients from different treatment allocations during rehabilitation. Rehabilitants with chronic systolic heart failure (n = 540) will be consecutively recruited for the study at the beginning of inpatient rehabilitation. Data will be assessed at admission, at discharge and after 6 and 12 months using patient questionnaires. In the intervention condition, patients receive the new patient-oriented self-management educational program, whereas in the control condition, patients receive a short lecture-based educational program (usual care). The primary outcome is patients' self-reported self-management competence. Secondary outcomes include behavioral determinants and self-management health behavior (symptom monitoring, physical activity, medication adherence), health-related quality of life, and treatment satisfaction.
