Aim:
To describe the current practice of goal setting and goal agreement in the Medical rehabilitation in Germany.
Methodology:
Rehabilitation centers contracted by the German Pension Insurance and covering all indications were approached by a questionnaire survey.
Results:
The percentage of questionnaires returned was 48.1% (N=716). 93.3% of the responders replied that the importance placed on "rehab goals" at their institution was "very high" (41.1%) or "quite high" (52.2%). Our findings, however, reveal the potential for improving the quality of setting rehab goals in the fields of "process orientation", "team orientation" and "patient orientation".
Conclusion:
Rehabilitation centers perceive current practice in goal setting and goal agreement as being on a high level. The rehabilitation centers name many positive aspects as well as barriers to goal setting. Those problems should be more frequently addressed in practice.
