Area of Science:

Psychosomatic Medicine
Rehabilitation Psychology

Background:

Psychosomatic rehabilitation aims to improve patient outcomes.
Predictors of treatment success in psychosomatic rehabilitation require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify patient characteristics, therapy motivation, and disorder-related factors that predict treatment success in psychosomatic rehabilitation.
To analyze the influence of patient-specific variables on outcomes in inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

Utilized data from 307 patients undergoing psychosomatic rehabilitation.
Employed the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Patients' Questionnaire of Therapy Motivation (PAREMO-20), and Disorder Severity Score (BSS) for data collection.
Performed hierarchical linear regression analysis to determine predictive relationships.

Main Results:

Skeptical attitudes, lower educational attainment, and prolonged prior work incapacity were associated with reduced treatment success.
Higher readiness for change and engagement in 6-8 working hours daily correlated with improved coping mechanisms.
Patient self-evaluations and external assessments served as key criteria for treatment success.

Conclusions:

Patient psychological disposition (e.g., skepticism, readiness for change) significantly influences rehabilitation outcomes.
Socio-demographic factors (e.g., education) and work-related history (e.g., duration of incapacity) are important predictors.
Optimizing patient motivation and considering work capacity are crucial for enhancing inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation effectiveness.
