Using a self-developed questionnaire based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research constructs, we surveyed the uptake and type of digitally supported rehabilitation services in medical rehabilitation departments, including implementation hindrances and facilitators.A total of 452 departments participated in the study and about half reported using digitally supported services in medical rehabilitation, with digital training and telerehabilitation aftercare being the most common. The primarily reported implementation hindrances were technology-related work interruptions and cost coverage/reimbursements uncertainties.

The goals of sick school employees or OIM-participants, on the one hand, and OIM-supporting school principals, on the other, associated with the procedure were investigated, as were factors contributing to success or obstacles to the implementation of the procedure.As a prelude to an ongoing evaluation process, guided interviews were conducted in 2018 with 11 school employees (6 school principals, 1 head of seminar, 3 teachers, 1 pedagogical specialist) from Rhineland-Palatinate with experiences in OIM that stem from procedures the study participants have gone through, have accompanied or have rejected. The interview material was analysed with techniques of qualitative content analysis in 2022 according to the aim of this study.The school principals and OIM-participants mentioned the central goals pursued by OIM procedures as the return to work and the reflective or accepting handling of illness. Important parameters were the explicit willingness of those involved to return or support the OIM and a high degree of self-reflection. The perceived ability to act was also important. This was supported by available procedural information and (in)formal support resources. OIM-participants and school principals must be prepared to pursue common goals and not insist simply on their own rights. The involvement of other actors with their specific competencies can be helpful and necessary if the participants reach their limits of negotiation in the intra-school relationship.OIM procedures and in particular, measures for stepwise reintegration are valued by OIM-participants and school principals as support measures that can facilitate the permanent return to work. Those involved in OIM reach their limits where expectations are unreasonable. In this respect, the procedure itself can ultimately be nothing more (and nothing less) than an opportunity to consistently follow the path to a common compromise. A trusting cooperation also helps to reduce widespread uncertainties in dealing with illness. The participation of OIM experienced actors from different areas of expertise can bring resources to light and promote the development of solutions.</p>","PeriodicalId":54504,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"76-84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recent assessment wave 2022/2023 included a newly developed OIM module.Of 7,335 employed participants, 819 (11.2%) reported more than 30 days sickness absence in the past 12 months, thus indicating eligibility to OIM. Of those, 282 (34.4%) had received an OIM offer proactively by their employer. Higher odds of receiving an offer were found for those with longer sickness absence, in larger enterprises, in enterprises which value the workers' health, and among those who, during the COVID-19 pandemic, had used the option to work from home. About a third of those who had received an offer declined it, mainly because they felt no need for it; 132 of the 819 OIM eligible participants (16.1%) reported they had been offered and had accepted at least one measure implemented by the enterprise, most often \"stepwise reintegration\", followed by \"regular feedback talks with the superior\". Among them, 114 (90.8% of 132) rated the measures implemented as \"somewhat\", or \"very helpful\".Twenty years after the legal introduction of OIM, it is still insufficiently implemented, although - where measures have been implemented - these are almost always rated as helpful by those who have received them. The barriers to implementation of this obviously useful instrument in enterprises and proposals as to how to overcome them need to be investigated more intensively.
