Background:
In this naturalistic study the changes of patients of an in-patient psychosomatic rehabilitation with regard to functioning and to symptom severity were examined.
Methods:
Self-evaluations of patients concerning their functioning (ICF AT-50 Psych) and their symptom severity (GSI) were elevated at 3 measurement periods: on admission (n=419), on discharge (n=354) and 6 months after discharge (n=297).
Results:
Functioning as well as symptom severity improved from t1 to t2. With regard to functioning an improvement on global and specific scales was shown. From t2 to t3 the symptom severity increased lightly again, whereas the functioning level remained rather steady. Changes in symptom severity highly correlate with changes of functioning.
Discussion:
The results point to the fact that psychosomatic rehabilitation has positive effects on functioning. While planning the therapy functioning as well as symptom severity should be considered. Controlled studies are needed.

Work Done During Volume Change
Consider a gas confined to a cylinder fitted with a movable piston at one end. If the gas expands from volume V1 to volume V2, it exerts a force on the piston, such that the piston moves by a distance dr.
The work done by the gas on the piston can be expressed as
