Abstract
Quality assurance approaches by the German Statutory Pension Insurance emphasized the need of evidence-based practice for social work in medical rehabilitation. This study aims to show the state of research in rehabilitation science concerning social work and its effectiveness. The review is based on a literature search in 3 databases (Pubmed, Web of Sciences, Scopus) and a hand search in rehabilitation science journals and proceedings. 52 of 176 articles from 2000 to 2016 met the inclusion criteria. Social work is a common service in routine clinical practice with a substantial variation on the institutional level and between indications. Analysis of quality assurance data and observational studies showed negative as well as positive effects. The results indicate the need of an evidence-based practice of social work in medical rehabilitation.
