“…In addition to physical health, the disease and the available social support also have an impact on mental health. It is well known that patients with cardiovascular diseases are at increased risk of depression after the event because of the challenge of adapting to the new situation [11][12][13][14] in stroke patients, this affects approximately 30% of all affected individuals [4]. Professional and social support can reduce the rate of depression and increase rehabilitation success after cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction or stroke [11,12,[14][15][16].…”

Background: Patients with acute cardiac or neurological events, such as heart attack or stroke, are often in need of social support after the event. It is known that social support has an influence on both physical and mental health and contributes significantly to recovery success. This study aims to investigate the influence of social and professional support on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in patients with cardiac or neurological events. In addition, we will analyse whether COVID-19 plays a role in the presence of social and professional support. Methods:We used data of the evaluation of the project IKK IVP (Innovation -Medical Care -Patient), an intervention project of the statutory health insurance fund IKK gesund plus. In the study the variables HRQOL, social support within household, social support beyond own household, professional support, COVID-19 etc. were used. In order to investigate the influence of social and professional support on HRQOL multiple variance analyses were performed. Results:The results of the analyses of variance show an influence of professional support on both physical and mental health of HRQOL. The results further show a moderate influence of social support on mental health. A significant influence of COVID-19 on physical and mental health cannot be determined for the first lockdown in Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, and Thuringia. Conclusions:Patients with acute cardiac or neurological events benefit from social and professional support, especially in terms of mental health and, consequently, recovery success. Professional support can additionally increase HRQOL physical limitations are present as a result of the acute condition.Trial registration: The evaluation study was registered at the German Registry on Clinical Trials (DRKS, Register-No DRKS00020510).

Social work is a long-established profession in health care and rehabilitation. Reviewing the evidence on effects of social work interventions shows inconsistencies, with several studies indicating positive, negative, or no significant effect at all. Against this background, the purpose of this paper is to provide an international overview of the research on social work practice in rehabilitation. Two research questions about the activities performed by social workers in rehabilitation settings and the reported outcomes to evaluate social work interventions were guiding the analysis. A scoping review was conducted in order to identify these activities and reported outcomes. The literature search was carried out in two databases (PubMed, SocINDEX). Additionally, the authors searched manually for literature in rehabilitation science and social work journals. Inclusion criteria encompassed the involvement of social workers and a description of their activities. The context in which social work's practice had to take place was a rehabilitation setting. A total of 2,681 records could be identified by searching the databases, journals, proceedings and reference lists. 66 sources met the predefined inclusion criteria. A majority of the identified activities that social workers perform are case related. Topics that may occur in these case encounters are the social environment of the patient, financial/social security, work-related issues and others. Of particular note are activities such as assessment, counseling and education. When applying the ICF framework, the outcomes are distributed across almost all components with an emphasis on Participation. This review demonstrates that social work has a vital role in the interprofessional rehabilitation team on an international level. However, there is still a need for more research about the effectiveness of social work interventions. We identified internationally common social work core activities/issues and derived a proposal for specific outcomes for future evaluation research.
