ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The transition from home to psychosomatic rehabilitation is problematic for many patients. They show little treatment motivation because of insufficient information and fear of stigmatization. Pre-treatment seeks to reduce these problems. The patient-questionnaire for stance toward psychosomatic rehabilitation was developed and tested for performance criteria.METHODS:
A German statutory pension insurance scheme sample of psychosomatic rehabilitation patients (n=317) were recruited for testing psychosometric attributes and were questioned before and after pre-treatment. To determine whether the questionnaire can show clinically relevant changes, 124 patients with pre-information were compared with 88 patients without intervention. Additionally, clinically relevant changes for patients without knowledge of psychosomatic rehabilitation (n=70) were analyzed. RESULTS ANDCONCLUSIONS:
Factor analysis shows a three factor solution with ten items. The discriminatory power was good. High reliability was found for two factors and lower reliability for one factor. The patient-questionnaire for stance toward psychosomatic rehabilitation contains three scales "knowledge", "confidence", and "motivation", and can be characterized as a reliable and economic instrument. After pre-treatment a general improvement was observed regarding patients' stance toward psychosomatic rehabilitation. The analyses result in significantly higher mean for patients with pre-treatment. Patients without previous information showed less "confidence" and "motivation". Pre-treatment can have a positive impact on the stance toward psychosomatic rehabilitation.
