[Patient orientation in rehabilitation--the gender perspective].
A systematic review of gender aspects in the context of patient orientation in rehabilitation is still lacking. The purpose of the review is to clarify standards, services, goals and topics of rehabilitation as seen from a gender perspective. Women and men have different rehabilitation needs. This is caused by differences as to circumstances, coping, health behaviours, resources, goals and preferences. There are also gender specific barriers to physical exercises. Some results also suggest differences in rehabilitation outcomes for women and men. Various gender oriented rehabilitation programmes are outlined. The results of the review are discussed, and deficits as to gender research in rehabilitation are pointed out.
