Background:
The aim of this study was to examine how far treatment success in psychosomatic rehabilitation can be predicted by patients' characteristics, therapy motivation and disorder.
Methods:
Data of 307 patients with psychosomatic disease were included. External and self-evaluations were operationalized as criterion for success. Data were collected using the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Patients' Questionnaire of Therapy Motivation (PAREMO-20) and Disorder Severity Score (BSS). Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used for data analysis.
Results And Conclusions:
A sceptical attitude, low education and long time of incapacity for work prior to rehabilitation can predict a lower treatment success. High levels of readiness for change and 6-8 working hours daily seem to favourably impact coping with disease in the framework of inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation.
