Work‐related medical rehabilitation in patients with cancer—Postrehabilitation results from a cluster‐randomized multicenter trial
Abstract
Effective multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs supporting the return to work have become increasingly relevant for cancer survivors. In Germany, inpatient work‐related medical rehabilitation programs consider treatment modules of work‐related diagnostics, work‐related functional capacity training, psychosocial groups, and intensified social counseling. The authors tested the effectiveness of a work‐related medical rehabilitation program compared with conventional medical rehabilitation using a cluster‐randomized multicenter trial (German Clinical Trial Register: DRKS00007770).
