Development of an evidence based guideline for the rehabilitation of breast cancer patients

Description / Topics

The German Pension Insurance Company (DRV) introduced a comprehensive program to develop guidelines for rehabilitation. A part of this program involves the development of guidelines especially for therapeutic interventions in rehabilitation of breast cancer patients. This project is divided into 4 phases:
1. A systematic review of the literature (Medline, Psyndex, PsychInfo, CINAHL, DIMDI and EBMR) was carried out in 2004.
2. An analysis of the treatments in rehabilitation hospitals was carried out using data from routine records of the year 2003 according to the Classification of Therapeutic Procedures (KTL).
3. A systematic survey was carried out with experts in breast cancer rehabilitation followed by a consensus conference with 32 experts from clinical and research areas of rehabilitation in 2006 in Berlin.
4. The implementation and evaluation of the guidelines in rehabilitation hospitals are planned for 2007.

In addition 800 breast cancer patients have been asked by a standardized questionnaire in terms of the individual rehabilitation goals and the relevance of therapeutic interventions in rehabilitation. Compared with the experts view patients agreed in most of the recommendations. A first version of the guideline will be issued at the beginning of the next year.
