  abstract  = {Die Lifespan-Forschung untersucht die Entwicklung von Individuen {\"u}ber den gesamten Lebenslauf. Die medizinische Rehabilitation hat nach geltendem Sozialrecht die Aufgabe, chronische Krankheiten abzuwenden, zu beseitigen, zu mindern, auszugleichen, eine Verschlimmerung zu verh{\"u}ten und Negativfolgen f{\"u}r die Lebensf{\"u}hrung zu reduzieren. Dies erfordert in wissenschaftlicher wie in praxisbezogener Hinsicht die Entwicklung einer Lebensspannenperspektive als Voraussetzung f{\"u}r die Klassifikation und Diagnostik chronischer Erkrankungen, die Beschreibung von verlaufsbeeinflussenden Faktoren, kritischen Lebensphasen und Critical Incidents (kritische Verlaufszeitpunkte), die Durchf{\"u}hrung von prophylaktischen Maßnahmen, die Entwicklung von Assessmentverfahren zur Erfassung und Bewertung von Verl{\"a}ufen oder Vorbehandlungen, die Auswahl und Priorisierung von Interventionen, eine Behandlungs- und Behandlerkoordination auf der Zeitachse, die Pr{\"a}zisierung der Aufgabenstellung f{\"u}r spezialisierte Rehabilitationsmaßnahmen, wie beispielsweise Rehabilitationskliniken, und als Grundlage f{\"u}r die Sozialmedizin. Aufgrund der Vielfalt der individuellen Risikokonstellationen, Krankheitsverl{\"a}ufe und Behandlungssituationen {\"u}ber die Lebensspanne hinweg, bedarf es in der medizinischen Rehabilitation in besonderer Weise einer personalisierten Medizin, die zugleich rehabilitationsf{\"o}rderliche und -behindernde Umweltfaktoren im Rehabilitationsverlauf ber{\"u}cksichtigt.},

  abstract  = {Objective: The aim of this study was to study the effects of a short-term cognitive behavior therapy on work-anxiety and sickness-absence in patients with work-anxiety. Methods: Three-hundred forty-five inpatients who suffered from cardiologic, neurological, or orthopedic problems and additionally work-anxiety were randomly assigned into two different group interventions. Patients got four sessions of a group intervention, which either focused on cognitive behavior-therapy anxiety-management (work-anxiety coping group, WAG) or unspecific recreational activities (RG). Results: No differences were found between WAG and RG for work-anxiety and subjective work ability. When looking at patients who were suffering only from work-anxiety, and no additional mental disorder, the duration of sickness absence until 6 months follow-up was shorter in the WAG (WAG: 11 weeks, RG: 16 weeks, P = 0.050). Conclusion: A shortterm WAG may help return to work in patients with work-anxieties, as long as there is no comorbid mental disorder.},

  abstract  = {Background: Physicians and therapists are also consulted to give judgments on working ability. Ability to work cannot simply be derived from the patient's symptom status but from the illness-related capacity impairments in relation to the work demands. A structured assessment of capacity impairments has been evaluated and applied internationally: the Mini-ICF-APP Social Functioning Scale. It is currently unclear whether a free-text clinical report (i.e., usual clinical practice: clinical exploration according to clinical standards, but without a standardized documentation form, instead a text is written) and a structured capacity assessment correspond to the overall work ability judgment, i.e., the decision whether a patient is "fit for work" or "unfit for work." Objectives: This investigation assessed, for the first time, whether usual clinical judgment and the additional structured capacity rating support the work ability decision. Methods: A total of 100 medical reports from patients in a psychotherapy hospital were excerpted for psychopathological symptoms and capacity disorders using a checklist. Additionally, a structured assessment of capacity disorders was documented on the Mini-ICF-APP rating for all patients. Results: In the free-text clinical medical report, endurance, flexibility, and contacts to others were the things mainly reported as impaired. This was similar to the structured Mini-ICF-APP rating. However, other capacity impairments were also reported in the Mini-ICF-APP, i.e., adherence to rules and regulations, planning and structuring, assertiveness, and group integration. When the free-text clinical report and the structured Mini-ICF-APP rating were compared, there was a higher rate of stated impairments covering all capacity dimensions in the Mini-ICF-APP rating. Conclusions: The free-text report in the medical report shows the differences between patients who are fit for work and those who are not, and thus speak for the validity of work ability decisions. However, optimization is possible in terms of depth and differentiation of capacity impairment description by adhering to the standard set by the Mini-ICF-APP.},

  abstract  = {BACKGROUND: The aim of occupational health care management programs (OHMP) is to improve the health status of employees, increase work ability and reduce absence time. This includes better coping abilities, work-related self-efficacy and self-management which are important abilities that should be trained within OHMPs. OBJECTIVES: To study the effectiveness of an OHMP including special interventions to enhance self-efficacy and self-management. PARTICIPANTS: Employees from the German Federal Pension Agency. METHODS: Effects of an OHMP on sickness absence was studied by comparing an intervention group (N = 159) and two control groups (N = 450). A core feature of the OHMP were group sessions with all members of working teams, focussing on self-efficacy and self management of the individual participant as well as the team as a group (focus groups). Participants in the OHMP were asked for their subjective evaluation of the focus groups. Rates of sickness absence were taken from the routine data of the employer. RESULTS: Participants of the OHMP indicated that they had learned better ways of coping and communication and that they had generated intentions to make changes in their working situation. The rate of sickness absence in the intervention group decreased from 9.26\% in the year before the OHMP to 7.93\% in the year after the program, while there was in the same time an increase of 7.9\% and 10.7\% in the two control groups. CONCLUSIONS: The data suggest that OHMP with focus on self-efficacy and self management of individuals and teams are helpful in reducing work absenteeism.},

  abstract  = {Purpose: Work-related anxieties are frequent and have a negative effect on the occupational performance of patients and absence due to sickness. Most important is workplace phobia, that is, panic when approaching or even thinking of the workplace. This study is the first to estimate the prevalence of workplace phobia among primary care patients suffering from chronic mental disorders and to describe which illness-related or workplace-specific context factors are associated with workplace phobia. Methods: A convenience sample of 288 primary care patients with chronic mental disorders (70\% women) seen by 40 primary care clinicians in Germany were assessed using a standardized diagnostic interview about mental disorders and workplace problems. Workplace phobia was assessed by the Workplace Phobia Scale and a structured Diagnostic and Statical Manual of Mental Disorders-based diagnostic interview. In addition, capacity and participation restrictions, illness severity, and sick leave were assessed. Results: Workplace phobia was found in 10\% of patients with chronic mental disorders, that is, approximately about 3\% of all general practice patients. Patients with workplace phobia had longer durations of sick leave than patients without workplace phobia and were impaired to a higher degree in work-relevant capacities. They also had a higher degree of restrictions in participation in other areas of life. Conclusions: Workplace phobia seems to be a frequent problem in primary care. It may behoove primary care clinicians to consider workplace-related anxiety, including phobia, particularly when patients ask for a work excuse for nonspecific somatic complaints.},
