Summary

Since May 2019, psychocardiological rehabilitation has been carried out at the Rehabilitation Center Felbring (RFE) in the form of a pilot project. The background is the mutual relationship of psychological and physical morbidity, which is of particular importance in cardiological rehabilitation. The present outcome evaluation study is designed as a quantitative longitudinal study with 4 repeated measures, in which at least 75 rehabilitation patients will be included. Three assessments are conducted at admission and discharge to/from inpatient rehabilitation, and an additional survey will be conducted by mail 6 months after the end of rehabilitation. Effects that become apparent as a result of rehabilitation will be recorded from a patient-centered perspective by means of "patient-reported outcomes". In this way, primarily psychological and work-related changes, but also changes in the physical quality of life are to be mapped, which can be determined immediately after completion of rehabilitation and continue in the medium term up to 6 months later.
