April 5, 2018 updated by: Prof. Dr. Sonia Lippke, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH

Experten-Prävention Bei gefährdeter Erwerbsfähigkeit Durch Telefonische, Motivierende Interviews Zur Unterstützung Des Selbstmanagements

The purpose of the study is to determine which factors on a personal, social and contextual level will help rehabilitation patients on returning to or continuing to work as well as to stay employable.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

For most people work is an integral part of their life which not only secures their life standards, but also forms the basis for social participation and personal growth. If someone's workability is limited as a result of health problems, medical rehabilitation can often help to regain strength and capabilities, and to continue to work in a productive way and remain healthy. In cooperation with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Oldenburg-Bremen health psychologists at Jacobs University Bremen are investigating what contributes to the success of such medical rehabilitation treatments.

The focus is to understand which measures are helping people during and subsequently to their treatment in the clinic.Therefore voluntary participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire when arriving at the rehabilitation facility and will subsequently invited to participate in two motivational telephone interviews after six and 12 months. Personal, social and contextual factors, measures and offers, as well as goals, plans and behaviors, will be taken into consideration to evaluate the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation on returning to or continuing to work.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
