Background
Posttraumatic stress disorder is associated with a high economic burden. Costs of treatment are known to be high, and cost-effectiveness has been analysed for several treatment options.
Objective
As no review on economic aspects of posttraumatic stress disorder exists, the aim of this study was to systematically review costs-of-illness...
Background
Trans and gender-diverse individuals experience adverse health outcomes that might be due, in addition to other factors, to stigma and discrimination in the health care sector. At the same time, the concept of person-centred care acknowledges the role of patient-physician communication in health care outcomes. This study aims to explore...
Background: Quality of life (QoL) is a widely recognised outcome in residents of long-term care homes. However, little is known about the impact of care satisfaction on QoL. The aim of this study was to assess the association between care satisfaction and QoL in residents of long-term care homes. Additionally, we were able to assess the impact of t...
mHealth interventions in cancer care are being increasingly applied in various settings.

Objective
Illness and treatment beliefs are important predictors of health outcomes. However, little is known about their impact on outcomes in psychosomatic rehabilitation. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of illness and rehabilitation-related treatment beliefs in patients with mental disorders attending psychosomatic reha...

Methods: A survey study was conducted in September 2022. Communication preferences were assessed using the CommTrans questionnaire, which inc...
The majority of transgender and gender-nonconforming people (TGNC) report negative
experiences with doctors in the healthcare system. As there is little knowledge about the communication
behaviour of doctors towards TGNC, this survey aimed to assess the self-reported trans-inclusive
communication of doctors and their willingness to communicate tran...
Patient-doctor communication is an important component of patient-centered care and should be adapted to the target group. Adapting communication to transgender and gender-diverse individuals is particularly difficult, as little is known about the preferences of this group. Thus, the aim of the study was to develop a questionnaire to assess the com...
Objective: Early response is considered to be an important predictor for therapy outcomes; yet little is known about its relevance in psychosomatic rehabilitation. This paper aims to describe the association of early response in psychosomatic rehabilitation, as well as the associations of early response with pre-rehabilitative factors such as illne...

Methods
The effect of time-varying treatment on 3-year overall survival was analyzed with treatment a...

To date, there has been little research on the general health literacy of trans and gender diverse individuals, even though previous research undermines the importance of good health literacy in this sample. The aim of the article is therefore to describe the general health literacy of trans and gender diverse individuals based on a Ge...

Im Rahmen des Projekts "Begleiteter Einstieg ins Arbeitsleben durch Starthilfe" (BEAS) wurde ein sektorenübergreifendes, erwerbsbezogenes Fallmanagement entwick...
Children and adolescents with chronic health conditions are faced with ongoing challenges, making self-regulation crucial. As children grow up, they gradually develop differentiated beliefs about illness and treatment. While research indicates treatment beliefs as relevant factor on outcomes like adherence, the specific contents and dimensions of c...

Providing adequate medical care to nursing home residents is challenging. Transfers to emergency departments are frequent, although often avoidable. We conducted the complex CoCare intervention with the aim to optimize nursing staff–physician collaboration to reduce avoidable hospital admissions and ambulance transportations, thereby red...

Older patients are at an increased risk of hospitalization, negatively affecting their health and quality of life. Such patients also experience a lack of physical activity during their inpatient stay, as well as being at increased risk of delirium and inappropriate prescribing. These risk factors can accumulate, promoting a degree of mo...

Purpose
The head circumference is typically used as a surrogate parameter for the development of the central nervous system and intracranial structures and is an important clinical parameter in neuropediatrics. As magnetic resonance images (MRI) can be freely zoomed, visual analysis of the head size often relies on impressions, such as the craniofa...
Background
With rising numbers of elderly people living in nursing homes in Germany, the need for on-site primary care is increasing. A lack of primary care in nursing homes can lead to unnecessary hospitalization, higher mortality, and morbidity in the elderly. The project CoCare (“coordinated medical care”) has therefore implemented a complex hea...
Background: The efficacy of inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation in Germany can be considered proven. However, a significant
number of patients with mental disorders remain unsatisfied with rehabilitation or being non-responders. Illness beliefs, as the core element
of the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM), are widely known as predictor...

Hintergrund und Zielstellung
Gemäß dem Common Sense-Selbstregulationsmodell (CSM) (Leventhal et al., 2003) sind das subjektive Krankheitskonzept sowie das Krankheitsbewältigungsverhalten wesentliche Determinanten der krankheitsbezogenen Selbstregulation. Zudem bettet das CSM die Selbstregulation in den biopsychosozialen Kontext ein und berücksichti...
Hintergrund
Die Effektivität der psychosomatischen Rehabilitation gilt als gesichert. Dennoch gibt es einen nicht unerheblichen Anteil von 20-30% der Patienten, die als Non-Responder gelten und die Rehabilitation vorzeitig beenden. Studien zeigen, dass subjektive Krankheits- und Behandlungskonzepte Prädiktoren gesundheitsbezogener Outcomes und der...
Background: There is robust evidence that psychosomatic rehabilitation is effective.
However, 20-30% of patients are considered non-responders and dissatisfied with the
rehabilitation treatment. Primary research found that illness beliefs are relevant predictors of
different rehabilitation related outcome domains. Therefore, using the common-sense...
