title: [Willingness of Patients with Obesity to Use New Media in Rehabilitation Aftercare].
abstract: Digital media offer new possibilities in rehabilitation aftercare. This study investigates the rehabilitants' willingness to use new media (sms, internet, social networks) in rehabilitation aftercare and factors that are associated with the willingness to use media-based aftercare. 92 rehabilitants (patients with obesity) filled in a questionnaire on the willingness to use new media in rehabilitation aftercare. In order to identify influencing factors, binary logistic regression models were calculated. 3 quarters of the rehabilitants (76.1%) reported that they would be willing to use new media in rehabilitation aftercare. The binary logistic regression model yielded two factors that were associated with the willingness to use media-based aftercare: the possession of a smartphone and the willingness to receive telephone counseling for aftercare. The majority of the rehabilitants was willing to use new media in rehabilitation aftercare. The reasons for refusal of media-based aftercare need to be examined more closely.
