Abstract
Commonly agreed aims make rehabilitation treatment processes more individual, patient-centred and participatory. Since treatment needs of patients can be highly individual, it is to assume that aims also vary considerably. The article examines which aims orthopedic, oncological and psychosomatic patients set for themselves prior to the rehabilitation and to what extent differences in aims can be explained by personal characteristics. The analyses based on the intervention arm of a randomized controlled study (N=1 342) showed that the most common aims are comparable with similar results of other studies. Differences in aims could be attributed to demographic, diagnostic and health-related characteristics. Further studies should examine whether patients with demonstrably worse treatment prognosis for success have different aims than patients with a favourable prognosis.
