title: [The influence of aftercare sessions on sociomedical development after an inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aim of this study was to examine the influence of aftercare sessions in a psychosomatic rehabilitation on the sociomedical development. The after care group was compared with treatment as usual.
  
  
  METHODS
  In a prospective, controlled and randomized longitudinal study data about the state of health and job status were assessed at 4 measured time points. As an indicator of the sociomedical development the current employment status was used. Aftercare treatment (n=139) included 2-4 interview contacts (via telephone or face-to-face) within the first 3 months after discharge from inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation. A control group (n=62) received treatment as usual.
  
  
  RESULTS
  3 and 9 months after the end of rehabilitation participants in the aftercare showed a better sociomedical development than the participants in the control condition.
