Introduction to qualitative evidence synthesis - Variants and application
This article introduces the topic of qualitative evidence synthesis by describing three different synthesis methods - thematic synthesis, meta-ethnography, and grounded theory synthesis - and illustrating them with examples from rehabilitation research. This is followed by guidance on selecting the appropriate QES-method and reflections on the challenges of QES that are associated with the literature search and quality assessment of the studies to be included in the synthesis. Likewise considerations on quality criteria and their application are taken into account. GRADE-CERQual provides guidance for assessing confidence o...

Sensitivity and specificity of the PHQ-9 for identifying suicidality in medical rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: If the response to item 9 is positive, the immediate risk of suicide is low. However, PHQ-9 is suitable for identifying patients with non-specific suicidal thoughts. A conspicuous score on the item 9 of the PHQ-9 should be further clarified by a psychotherapist.PMID:38552642 | DOI:10.1055/a-2192-3688 (Source: Die Rehabilitation)

Factors Modulating Motor Function Changes in Stroke Patients During Inpatient Neurological Rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: In stroke patients, a higher number of therapies is associated with greater improvements of motor functions. Age, gender and type of stroke have no relevant impact on changes of motor functions during inpatient rehabilitation.PMID:38335972 | DOI:10.1055/a-2204-3952 (Source: Die Rehabilitation)

Epub 2024 Feb 9.ABSTRACTPrehabilitation (prehab) aims to prepare patients for surgery, to reduce perioperative complications and to improve postoperative recovery. Pre-operative interventions depend on the indication and the specific patient characteristics and life circumstances. In orthopaedics, the focus is on preoperative improvement of physical performance, function and muscle strength through specific strength, mobility and sensomotoric training. In cardiology, endurance training and respiratory therapy are used in the preoperative phase, as wel...
