title: [Preparation for and care after medical rehabilitation using the example of psychosomatic rehabilitation].
abstract: For successful reintegration into working life after inpatient medical and psychosomatic rehabilitation, it is necessary that treatment efforts prior to inpatient rehabilitation treatment, during the medical care itself, and after rehabilitation are distributed appropriately. Ideally, in addition to adequate psychotherapeutic treatment by established therapists/doctors, preparation for the upcoming rehabilitation should concentrate on helping patients lose their fear and also to shed light upon the objectives of a psychosomatic rehabilitation with special emphasis on vocational rehabilitation. Shortly after psychosomatic rehabilitation, aftercare supports, in particular, the transfer of the rehabilitation results and reintegration into working life. However, only a fraction of the patients are reached by this aftercare offer. For rehabilitation, patients with special job problems, migrants, or long-term unemployed persons, case management is proposed, should aftercare not be sufficient.
