Influencing factors included reduced work capacity, mental health, family responsibilities, limited mobility, societal changes, and program duration. Hybrid models were considered potentially promising. Key challenges involved legal and professional frameworks, financial aspects, program duration, and organizational requirements.
Conclusion:
PTM represent a meaningful complement to full-time programs. Sustainable implementation requires clear frameworks, independent concepts, and consideration of organizational and financial aspects.
