title: [Effectiveness of health promotion measures: a study of quality assurance in inpatient rehabilitation treatment of patients with chronic obstructive respiratory tract diseases].
abstract: The article describes outcomes of a quality assurance study to evaluate defined health promotion measures within a 4-week inpatient rehabilitation treatment. 308 patients, mostly with chronic obstructive diseases of the respiratory tract, have been studied at the beginning and end of inpatient treatment, as well as 6 months after treatment (follow-up). Dependent variables were knowledge of relevant health information and self-assessment of health behaviour. The results show that patients substantially improve their knowledge of health information during rehabilitation treatment. These effects remain stable at the 6-months follow-up. Self-assessed measures of relevant health behaviour at follow-up indicate that behavioural changes have been implemented in daily routines. Different degrees of effectiveness in subgroups are discussed, and steps to further optimize the treatment are proposed.
