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.

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. Many patients suffer from disease‐specific symptom burden, by which younger patients seem to be particularly distressed. Support of coping mechanisms associated with disease‐specific symptom burden seems warranted.

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. Recordlinkage with the Cancer Registries of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg demonstrated to be feasible. The voluntary APP/online questionnaire was used by n= 7 participants. The feasibility of the registry concept in clinical routine waspositively evaluated by the participating hospitals. Conclusion: The concept of the BRE-4-MED registry provides evidence that combinatorial evaluation of PROMs, needsof family members, and raising clinical parameters from primary and secondary data sources as well as m-healthapplications are feasible and accepted in an incurable cancer collective.

QPL have predominantly been examined in oncology. Less is known about their use in other contexts. Therefore, we plan to conduct a scoping review to provide an overview of the fields of healthcare in which QPL have been developed and evaluated. MEDLINE/PUBMED, PSYCINFO, PSYNDEX, WEB OF SCIENCE, and CINAHL will be systematically searched. Primary studies from different healthcare contexts that address the following participants/target groups will be included: persons with an acute, chronic, or recurring health condition other than cancer; healthy persons in non-oncological primary preventive measures. There will be no restrictions in terms of study design, sample size, or outcomes. However, only published studies will be included. Studies that were published in English and German between 1990 and 2019 will be examined. Two independent reviewers will apply defined inclusion/exclusion criteria and determine study eligibility in the review process guided by the PRISMA statement.

A1 - Faller, Hermann T1 - Pre-post changes in main outcomes of medical rehabilitation in Germany: protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual participant and aggregated data JF - BMJ Open N2 - 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 Würzburg is available (number 20180411 01).

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.

A1 - Gehrke, Jörg A1 - Müller-Garnn, Annette A1 - Vogel, Heiner T1 - An instrument for quality assurance in work capacity evaluation: development, evaluation, and inter-rater reliability JF - BMC Health Services Research N2 - Background: Employees insured in pension insurance, who are incapable of working due to ill health, are entitled to a disability pension. 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.

In der Nebenfragstellung wurden Unterschiede in der Wirksamkeit der Intervention in Abhängigkeit vom Geschlecht explorativ geprüft. 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 Fragebögen (PHQ-9, PHQ-Panik, GAD-7 und MacNew Heart Disease-Fragebogen) erfasst. Die Hauptanalyse ergab einen kleinen signifikanten Intergruppeneffekt für den Zielparameter Depressivität 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 für Angst und die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität zu beiden Folgemess-zeitpunkten. Deskriptiv zeigte sich der Trend, dass Frauen von der Interventionsbedingung schlechter, Männer hingegen besser profitierten. Für die mangelnde Überlegenheit des Interventionsprogrammes kommen vielfältige Aspekte in Frage, die methodisch das sequentiell aufeinanderfolgenden Behandlungsdesign betreffen sowie interventionsbezogen die Ausschöpfung der Therapieressourcen, den Zeitpunkt des Behandlungsbeginns, die Behandlungsdauer, die Berücksichtigung spezifischer Patientenbedürfnisse und auch die Möglichkeit einer ungünstigen Wirkung von Psychotherapie. Ferner war die statistische Power und damit die Aussagekraft der Studie einschränkt. Als Fazit unterliegen noch vielfältige Einflussgrößen gezieltem Forschungsbedarf. N2 - In this study, it was examined whether a guideline-conforming psychocardiological treatment concept is superior to conventional cardiological treatment for psychologically burdened cardiological rehabilitants in the reduction of anxiety, depression, and panic (primary target criteria) and an improvement of the health-related quality of life (secondary target parameters). In the supplementary question, differences in the effectiveness of the intervention depending on gender were exploratively examined. The questions were investigated with a quasiexperimental study design with sequentially consecutive cohorts. Target parameters were assessed at the start and end of rehabilitation and 6 months after discharge using validated questionnaires (PHQ-9, PHQ-Panic, GAD-7, and MacNew Heart Disease Questionnaire). The main analysis showed a small significant intergroup effect for the target parameter depressivity in favour of the control group at the end of rehabilitation and no significant in the treatment success of both study conditions in the catamnesis. The moderator analysis revealed small interaction effects between intervention and gender for anxiety and health-related quality of life at both follow-up measurement points. Descriptively, the trend showed that women benefited less from the intervention condition than men. For the lack of superiority of the intervention programme, various aspects can be considered, which methodically concern the sequentially successive treatment design as well as the exhaustive use of therapy resources, the time of the onset of treatment, the duration of treatment, the consideration of specific patient needs, and also the possibility of an unfavourable effect of psychotherapy. Furthermore, the statistical power and thus the significance of the study was limited. In conclusion, a wide range of influencing variables are still subject to a targeted need for research.

These included the SF-12 quality of life questionnaire, the SSUK-8 social support questionnaire and a questionnaire on the need for and the utilization of psychosocial support. There was a correlation between mental quality of life and the need for psychosocial support. Patients who expressed a need for psychosocial support had a significantly lower mental quality of life. We also found a connection between the utilization of psychosocial support and the health-related quality of life. Patients who had used psychosocial support services had a lower physical and mental quality of life. No correlation could be found between positive social support and the need for or the utilization of psychosocial support.

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.

Die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität sank dagegen im Verlauf der 12 Wochen nach Therapiebeginn deutlich (Mt1 = 74,06; SDt1 = 18,70; Mt2 = 70,81; SDt2 = 19,19). Benefit Finding und gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität korrelierten zu beiden Untersuchungsterminen jeweils schwach negativ miteinander. Der Zusammenhang beider Variablen war jedoch in Regressionsanalysen für den zeitlichen Verlauf über drei Monate nicht reproduzierbar. Zusammenfassend muss deshalb postuliert werden, dass sich Benefit Finding unmittelbar bei Therapiebeginn für Prostatatkrebspatienten nicht als Prädiktor für verbesserte Lebensqualität nach drei Monaten eignet und vice versa. N2 - Patients with prostate cancer showed a low tendency for benefit finding at start of therapy and three months later (Mt1 = 74,06; SDt1 = 18,70; Mt2 = 70,81; SDt2 = 19,19). In contrast quality of life decreased significantly over the course of twelve weeks (Mt1 = 74,06; SDt1 = 18,70; Mt2 = 70,81; SDt2 = 19,19). Consistent with earlier studies that differentiate between the terms 'Meaning Making' (process) and 'Meaning Made' (result) we found slightly negative relationship between benefit finding and quality of life in each measurement. However, after performing regression analysis we were unable to show any correlation between benefit finding at start of therapy and quality of life three months later and vice versa.

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. Further insights into mechanisms of action of complex intervention programs are required.

Dabei nutzt eine kleine Gruppe von Patienten, die sogenannten Heavy User, den Großteil der zur Verfügung 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 stationäre Aufnahmen in einer psychiatrischen Klinik aufwiesen. Als Vergleich dient eine Kontrollgruppe von weiblichen Nicht-Heavy Usern (n=13) mit maximal einem stationären Voraufenthalt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Heavy User mit der Hauptdiagnose einer Essstörung spezifische soziodemographische, diagnostische und psychopathologische als auch Persönlichkeitsmerkmale aufweisen, die eine rechtzeitige Identifizierung dieser Patientengruppe ermöglichen könnten. Der Heavy Use wird als multifaktorielles Geschehen verdeutlicht und die Notwendigkeit einer frühen Identifikation und Intervention betont. Da die bisherigen Studienergebnisse sehr uneinheitliche Resultate lieferten, sind weitere Untersuchungen dieser Patientengruppe unerlässlich. Die Entwicklung alternativer und individueller Therapieansätze ist angezeigt, um passende Versorgungsangebote für diese therapieresistenten Patienten zu schaffen. N2 - Despite the constant modernization of medical services, an increase of inpatient readmissions in psychiatric services has been noted for years. Patients who show a higher extent of use of inpatient medical treatment are known as heavy users. This explorative study describes a group of female adult heavy users (n=23) with at least three inpatient treatments and compares the findings with a control group of female non-heavy user patients (n=13) with a maximum of one previous admission, both suffering from restrictive or purging-type anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. The results of this paper show that heavy users diagnosed with an eating disorder, appear to have individual sociodemographic, diagnostic and psychopathological characteristics as well as particular personality traits, which seemingly contribute to heavy service use and could be taken into consideration for early identification of this treatment resistant group of patients. The findings stress the heavy use as a multifactorial phenomenon and emphasize the need of early identification and intervention. Since prior studies show inhomogenous results, further qualitative analysis is necessary to develop alternative and individual treatment strategies for heavy users.

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 Würzburg. 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.

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.

Medical rehabilitation increasingly considers occupational issues as determinants of health and work ability. 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.

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. Discussion The study evaluates the effectiveness of a self-management patient education program for patients with FMS in the context of inpatient rehabilitation in a cluster randomized trial. Study results will show whether self-management patient education is beneficial for this group of patients.

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.

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 Störungen bei onkologischen Patienten zu selten erkannt und folglich nicht therapiert. Um dieser Unterversorgung entgegen zu wirken, wird nach Prädiktoren psychischer Störungen bei Krebserkrankten geforscht, mit deren Hilfe betroffene Personen leichter erfasst werden könnten. Auch die vorliegende Arbeit diente dem Ziel, Prädiktoren einer psychischen Erkrankung bei Krebserkrankten zu ermitteln. Hierzu wurden mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen psychischer Störung und soziodemographischen, medizinischen sowie psychosozialen Merkmale geprüft. Daneben sollte die Prävalenz psychischer Störungen in der Stichprobe erhoben werden. Der Untersuchung liegen die Daten aus dem Studienzentrum Würzburg zugrunde, die im Rahmen einer von der Deutschen Krebshilfe unterstützten, multizentrischen Studie („Prävalenz psychosozialer Belastungen, psychischer Störungen und ihr Behandlungsbedarf bei Tumorpatienten“) erhoben wurden. An der Untersuchung nahmen in Würzburg insgesamt 742 Krebserkrankte mit unterschiedlichen Tumorlokalisationen, Tumorstadien und Behandlungssettings teil. Gemäß eines zweistufigen Studiendesigns sollte bei allen Screening-positiven (PHQ ≥ 9) und der Hälfte der Screening-negativen Patienten (PHQ < 9), folglich bei 437 Studienteilnehmern, ein diagnostisches Interview zur Erfassung psychischer Störungen (Composite International Diagnostic Interview) durchgeführt werden. Zusätzlich wurden soziodemographische, medizinische und psychosoziale Merkmale erhoben. Mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen den erhobenen Variablen und einer psychischen Störung wurden bivariat sowie multivariat mit einer logistischen Regression untersucht. Die ermittelte 1 Monatsprävalenz psychischer Störungen bei Krebserkrankten betrug 18,5%, die 12 Monatsprävalenz 24,4% und die Lebenszeitprävalenz 42,0%. Bei Betrachtung des 1 Monatsintervalls waren Angststörungen mit 11,2%, affektive Störungen mit 5,9% und somatoforme Störungen mit 3,1% am häufigsten vertreten. Als unabhängige Prädiktoren einer psychischen Störung bei Krebserkrankten stellten sich ein weibliches Geschlecht, jüngeres Alter, eine längere Zeit seit aktueller Diagnosestellung, eine stärker negative soziale Interaktion (SSUK 8) sowie das Vorliegen eines praktischen Problems (NCCN-Distress-Problemliste) heraus. Desweiteren ergaben sich signifikante bivariate Zusammenhänge zwischen einer psychischen Störung und den folgenden Merkmalen: niedrigere subjektiv eingeschätzte körperliche Funktionsfähigkeit (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 familiären Problems (NCCN-Distress-Problemliste), Inanspruchnahme psychotherapeutischer / psychologischer / seel-sorgerischer / sozialrechtlicher Unterstützung sowie Nutzen eines Internetforums mit Betroffenen. Die in der vorliegenden Arbeit ermittelte Punktprävalenz psychischer Störungen bei Krebserkrankten steht weitgehend in Einklang mit den bisherigen Ergebnissen aus der Forschung. Sie deckt sich damit auch in etwa mit der Häufigkeit in der Allgemeinbevölkerung. Allerdings scheinen Angststörungen im onkologischen Setting etwas häufiger aufzutreten. Wie in der Allgemeinbevölkerung sind auch im onkologischen Bereich ein weibliches Geschlecht und jüngeres Alter Risikofaktoren einer psychischen Störung. Medizinische Faktoren scheinen bezüglich der Voraussage einer psychischen Erkrankung von untergeordneter Bedeutung zu sein. Psychosoziale Prädiktoren bieten zugleich mögliche Ansatzpunkte für eine bessere Versorgung von Krebserkrankten, die an einer komorbiden psychischen Störung leiden. N2 - Background: Despite rapid advances in cancer care, the diagnosis of cancer still poses a great emotional burden. Nevertheless comorbid mental disorders in oncological patients are underdiagnosed and thus not treated sufficiently in daily clinical routine. Objective: This study attempted to investigate the prevalence of mental disorders in cancer patients and to identify sociodemographic, medical and psychosocial factors predictive of mental disorders in cancer patients. Methods: Within the scope of a multicenter cross-sectional study a series of 742 cancer patients participated in the study center Würzburg. Sociodemographic and medical data was acquired. All participants filled out a questionnaire including a variety of self-assessment tools. On the basis of a depression screener (Patient Health Questionnaire) psychiatric assessment was conducted in all participants with positive screening (PHQ ≥ 9) and in 50% of the participants with negative screening (PHQ < 9) by using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (in total 437 participants). Bivariate analysis as well as multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictive factors of mental disorders. Results: A total 1-month-prevalence of 18,5%, a 12-months-prevalence of 24,4% and a lifetime-prevalence of 42,0% for mental disorders were found. Regarding the 1-month-prevalence anxiety disorders (11,2%), affective disorders (5,9%) and somatoform disorders (3,1%) were most common. On multivariate logistic regression analysis female gender, younger age, longer time since diagnosis, more negative social interactions (SSUK-8) and the presence of a practical problem (NCCN-Distress) were significant predictive factors. Furthermore bivariate analysis indicated that the following factors were significantly associated with mental disorders: low physical function in self-assessment (EORTC QLQ-C30), presence of pain, completed radiation therapy, emotional distress (PHQ-9, HADS, GAD-7, NCCN-Distress-Thermometer), presence of a family problem (NCCN-Distress) and the use of specific psychosocial support offers. Conclusion: The 1-month-prevalence of mental disorders in cancer patients found in this study corroborates the results of the present research and at the same time matches the prevalence in the general population. The only exception to this were anxiety disorders, which seemed to be a little more frequent in cancer patients. Female gender and a younger age were predictive factors of mental disorders in cancer patients. Medical factors showed to be of less importance in the prediction of comorbid mental disorders. Psychosocial predictors at the same time could represent opportunities for a better support of affected cancer patients.

Weiterhin sollte der Einfluss der Persönlichkeitsmerkmale auf die Veränderung des Befindens überprüft werden. Im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit wurde die Entstehung und Wirkungsweise der PR, Eysencks Theorien und die bisherige Literatur zum Thema dargestellt. Zum Einen konnte festgesellt werden, dass die PR als Teil unterschiedlicher Therapieintervention Einfluss auf das Befinden und die Persönlichkeitsmerkmale hat. Zum Anderen wurde deutlich, dass die Wirkung der PR auf das psychische Befinden und Persönlichkeitsausprägung durch verschiedene, sich gegenseitig bedingende Faktoren, beeinflusst wird. Folgende Hypothesen wurden aufgestellt: Im Verlauf eines Kurses der PR verbessert sich das psychische Befinden. Zugleich nimmt der Neurotizismuswert ab und der Extraversionswert zu. Außerdem hängt das Ausmaß der Veränderung des psychischen Befindens mit der Persönlichkeits-ausprägung zu Beginn der Durchführung der PR zusammen. Introvertierte und emotional Labile sollen deutlicher von der Wirkung der PR profitieren als Extrovertierte und emotional Stabile. 93 Probanden füllten zu vier Messzeitpunkten vor, während und nach der PR Fragebögen (Eysenck-Persönlichkeits-Inventar, Form A und Eigenschaftswörterliste, Normalform) aus. Die Ergebnisse zeigen keine Veränderung des Extraversionswertes, wohingegen es nach Beendigung der Übungen zu einer signifikanten Besserung der emotionalen Stabilität kam, was sich in einer Verringerung des Neurotizismuswertes äußerte. Es konnte während und nach Durchführung der PR eine signifikante Verringerung des negativen und Zunahme des positiven Befindens festgestellt werden. Eine Abhängigkeit der Veränderung des Befindens von den Persönlichkeitsdimensionen ließ sich nicht nachweisen. Die Annahme, dass vor allem emotional Labile und Introvertierte eine Verbesserung des Befindens zeigen, ließ sich nicht bestätigen. Unter Beachtung, dass die tatsächlich involvierten Daten etwa der Hälfte der insgesamt an der Studie teilgenommenen Probanden entsprechen sowie unter Berücksichtigung des Studiendesigns (Ein-Gruppen-Prä-Post-Studie ohne Kontrollgruppe), kann man abschließend formulieren, dass die PR zur Verbesserung der Stimmungslage und Erlangung einer psychischen Stabilität beiträgt, unabhängig von der Ausprägung des Extraversions- und Neurotizismusgrades. N2 - The aim of this study was to examine possible changes of the psychic condition as well as stamping of the personality dimensions extra version and neuroticism in the course of the exercises of the progressive muscle-relaxation. Furthermore the influence of the personality signs on the change of the condition should be checked.In the theoretical part of the work the origin and impact of the PR, Eysencks theories and the present literature was shown on the subject. To the one could be joined that the PR has influence on the condition and the personality signs as a part of different therapy intervention. To the other became clear that the effect of the PR on the psychic condition and personality stamping is influenced by different, itself mutually conditional factors. The following hypotheses were made: During a course of the PR the psychic condition improves. At the same time decreases the value of neuroticism and increases the value of extra version. Moreover, the magnitude of the change of the psychic condition is related to the personality stamping at the beginning of the implementation of the PR. Introverted and emotionally unstable should profit more clearly from the effect of the PR than extrovert and emotionally stable. 93 test persons filled questionnaires (Eysenck Personality Inventory, form A and Eigenschaftswörterliste, normal form) at four measuring time points before, during and after the PR. The results show no change of the value of extra version, while it came after ending of the exercises for a significant improvement in emotional stability hich was expressed in a reduction of the value oft neuroticism. It was observed during and after implementation of the PR a significant reduction of the negative and increase of the positive condition. A dependence of the change of the condition of the personality dimensions cannot be proved. The assumption that mainly emotionally unstable and introverts show an improvement of state cannot be confirmed. Considering that the really involved data correspond approximately to half of the test persons taken part all together in the study and taking into account the study (single-group pre-post study without a control group), one can formulate finally that the PR contributes for mood enhancement and acquisition of a psychic stability, regardless of the stamping of the extraversion and neuroticism.
