  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. In der Nebenfragstellung wurden Unterschiede in der Wirksamkeit der Intervention in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit vom Geschlecht explorativ gepr{\"u}ft. Die Fragestellungen wurden mit einem quasiexperimentellen Studiendesign mit sequentiell aufeinanderfolgenden Kohorten untersucht. Die Zielparameter wurden zu Rehabeginn, -ende und 6 Monate nach Entlassung mit validierten Frageb{\"o}gen (PHQ-9, PHQ-Panik, GAD-7 und MacNew Heart Disease-Fragebogen) erfasst. Die Hauptanalyse ergab einen kleinen signifikanten Intergruppeneffekt f{\"u}r den Zielparameter Depressivit{\"a}t zugunsten der Kontrollgruppe zu Rehaende und in der Katamnese keine signifikanten Unterschiede im Behandlungserfolg beider Studienbedingungen mehr. Die Moderatoranalyse ergab kleine Interaktionseffekte zwischen Intervention und Geschlecht f{\"u}r Angst und die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualit{\"a}t zu beiden Folgemess-zeitpunkten. Deskriptiv zeigte sich der Trend, dass Frauen von der Interventionsbedingung schlechter, M{\"a}nner hingegen besser profitierten. F{\"u}r die mangelnde {\"U}berlegenheit des Interventionsprogrammes kommen vielf{\"a}ltige Aspekte in Frage, die methodisch das sequentiell aufeinanderfolgenden Behandlungsdesign betreffen sowie interventionsbezogen die Aussch{\"o}pfung der Therapieressourcen, den Zeitpunkt des Behandlungsbeginns, die Behandlungsdauer, die Ber{\"u}cksichtigung spezifischer Patientenbed{\"u}rfnisse und auch die M{\"o}glichkeit einer ung{\"u}nstigen Wirkung von Psychotherapie. Ferner war die statistische Power und damit die Aussagekraft der Studie einschr{\"a}nkt. Als Fazit unterliegen noch vielf{\"a}ltige Einflussgr{\"o}ßen gezieltem Forschungsbedarf.},

  abstract  = {Introduction Multidisciplinary, complex rehabilitation interventions are an important part of the treatment of chronic diseases. 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. The results will be presented in a peer-reviewed publication and at research conferences. A declaration of no objection by the ethics committee of the University of W{\"u}rzburg is available (number 20180411 01).},

Dabei nutzt eine kleine Gruppe von Patienten, die sogenannten Heavy User, den Großteil der zur Verf{\"u}gung stehenden therapeutischen Ressourcen. Diese explorative Studie beschreibt eine Gruppe von erwachsenen, weiblichen Heavy Usern (n=23) mit restriktiver bzw. bulimischer Anorexie oder Bulimie, die mindestens drei station{\"a}re Aufnahmen in einer psychiatrischen Klinik aufwiesen. Als Vergleich dient eine Kontrollgruppe von weiblichen Nicht-Heavy Usern (n=13) mit maximal einem station{\"a}ren Voraufenthalt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Heavy User mit der Hauptdiagnose einer Essst{\"o}rung spezifische soziodemographische, diagnostische und psychopathologische als auch Pers{\"o}nlichkeitsmerkmale aufweisen, die eine rechtzeitige Identifizierung dieser Patientengruppe erm{\"o}glichen k{\"o}nnten. Der Heavy Use wird als multifaktorielles Geschehen verdeutlicht und die Notwendigkeit einer fr{\"u}hen Identifikation und Intervention betont. Da die bisherigen Studienergebnisse sehr uneinheitliche Resultate lieferten, sind weitere Untersuchungen dieser Patientengruppe unerl{\"a}sslich.

  abstract  = {Background Empirical studies investigating the prevalence of mental disorders and psychological distress in cancer patients have gained increasing importance during recent years, particularly with the objective to develop and implement psychosocial interventions within the cancer care system. Primary purpose of this epidemiological cross-sectional multi-center study is to detect the 4-week-, 12-month-, and lifetime prevalence rates of comorbid mental disorders and to further assess psychological distress and psychosocial support needs in cancer patients across all major tumor entities within the in- and outpatient oncological health care and rehabilitation settings in Germany. Methods/Design In this multicenter, epidemiological cross-sectional study, cancer patients across all major tumor entities will be enrolled from acute care hospitals, outpatient cancer care facilities, and rehabilitation centers in five major study centers in Germany: Freiburg, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Leipzig and W{\"u}rzburg. A proportional stratified random sample based on the nationwide incidence of all cancer diagnoses in Germany is used. Patients are consecutively recruited in all centers. On the basis of a depression screener (PHQ-9) 50\% of the participants that score below the cutoff point of 9 and all patients scoring above are assessed using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview for Oncology (CIDI-O). In addition, all patients complete validated questionnaires measuring emotional distress, information and psychosocial support needs as well as quality of life. Discussion Epidemiological data on the prevalence of mental disorders and distress provide detailed and valid information for the estimation of the demands for the type and extent of psychosocial support interventions. The data will provide information about specific demographic, functional, cancer- and treatment-related risk factors for mental comorbidity and psychosocial distress, specific supportive care needs and use of psychosocial support offers.},

  abstract  = {Background: In the GOLD (Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) strategy document, the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), or modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale are recommended for the assessment of symptoms using the cutoff points of CCQ ≥1, CAT ≥10, and mMRC scale ≥2 to indicate symptomatic patients. 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. Sensitivity, specificity, and AUC scores for cutoff point SGRQ ≥20 were: study A, 0.99, 0.73, and 0.99 for CCQ ≥1, 0.91, 0.73, and 0.94 for CAT ≥10, and 0.66, 0.95, and 0.94 for mMRC ≥2; study B, 0.8, 0.89, and 0.89 for CCQ ≥1, 0.69, 0.78, and 0.8 for CAT ≥10, and 0.18, 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. The correspondence with the mMRC scale seemed satisfactory, though not optimal. The SGRQ threshold of ≥20 corresponded slightly better than SGRQ ≥25, recently suggested by GOLD 2015, with the established cutoff points for the CCQ, CAT, and mMRC scale.},

Information on work-related rehabilitation concepts should therefore be made available to healthcare professionals. Objective. To revise a website providing healthcare professionals in medical rehabilitation facilities with information on work-related concepts in terms of updating existing information and including new topics, based on recommendations from implementation research. Method. The modification process included a questionnaire survey of medical rehabilitation centers (n=28); two workshops with experts from rehabilitation centers, health payers, and research institutions (n=14); the selection of new topics and revision of existing text modules based on expert consensus; and an update of good practice descriptions of work-related measures. Results. Health payers' requirements, workplace descriptions, and practical implementation aids were added as new topics. The database of good practice examples was extended to 63 descriptions. Information on introductory concepts was rewritten and supplemented by current data. Diagnostic tools were updated by including additional assessments. Conclusions. Recommendations from implementation research such as assessing user needs and including expert knowledge may serve as a useful starting point for the dissemination of information on work-related medical rehabilitation into practice. Web-based information tools such as the website presented here can be quickly adapted to current evidence and changes in medicolegal regulations.},

  abstract  = {Background Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most important causes of work disability. Various rehabilitation services and return-to-work programs have been developed in order to reduce sickness absence and increase sustainable return-to-work. As the effects of conventional medical rehabilitation programs on sickness absence duration were shown to be slight, work-related medical rehabilitation programs have been developed and tested. While such studies proved the efficacy of work-related medical rehabilitation compared with conventional medical rehabilitation in well-conducted randomized controlled trials, its effectiveness under real-life conditions has yet to be proved. Methods/Design The cohort study will be performed under real-life conditions with two parallel groups. Participants will receive either a conventional or a work-related medical rehabilitation program. Propensity score matching will be used to identify controls that are comparable to treated work-related medical rehabilitation patients. Over a period of three months, about 18,000 insured patients with permission to undergo a musculoskeletal rehabilitation program will be contacted. 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.},

  abstract  = {A standardized curriculum back school (CBS) has been recommended for further dissemination in medical rehabilitation in Germany. However, implementation of self-management education programs into practice is challenging. 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.},
