                                          Suggested by: Austrian federal pension fund
                                          Language: German

                                          Background:
                                          According to the Austrian rehabilitation plan1 possible indications for psychiatric rehabilitation are schizophrenia; affective disorders; neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders; behavioural syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors as well as disorders of adult personality and behaviour. Target groups of psychiatric rehabilitation  are patients, which did not reach sufficient stabilisation during an acute care hospitalisation, have been in sick-leave often or long-term due to a mental disorder, are at risk of incapacity of work or invalidity due to a mental disorder and patients which made an applications for a disability/invalidity  pension

                                          Aim of the project:
                                          Aim of the project is to provide a systematic analysis of literature on sustainability of effects of psychiatric rehabilitation for patients defined in the PICO scheme in an observation period of at least 12 months after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation.

                                          Research questions:
                                          Can (positive) effects in defined outcomes (see PICO) of inpatient psychiatric rehabilitation still be observed at  least 12 months after rehabilitation compared to patients who did not attend a psychiatric rehabilitation programme?
