“…From a health economic point of view, cost effective therapies in the prevention or management of rheumatic diseases are of great importance since rheumatic disorders state a relevant cost factor due to the need for long term medication, frequent hospitalizations, joint arthroplasty and loss of productivity. The dramatically increasing proportion of aged individuals further aggravates the health economic issue of rheumatic diseases since at least the prevalence of noninflammatory, degenerative rheumatic disorders increases with progressing age [12].…”

“…Vor allem die gegenläufigen Trends bei den benachbarten Altersgruppen 55 bis 64 Jahre und 65 bis 74 Jahre können mit der wellenartigen Altersstruktur der Bevölkerung [5] erklärt werden.

“…Die Entwicklung in der Altersgruppe 55 bis 64 Jahre kann auf die geburtenstarken Jahrgänge der 1960er-Jahre, die sog. Babyboomer [23] [4,5]), was zu einer demografischen "Lücke" geführt hat. Diesen Geburtsjahrgängen folgen deutlich stär-ker besetzte nach, sodass hier von einem "Aufholeffekt" gesprochen werden kann.…”

Background: The efficacy of specific interventions also of mind-body medicine is also dependent on the patients' ability to engage in these interventions and to perceive and change health-affecting attitudes and behaviors. The aim was to validate a 13-item instrument to measure (1) the patients' perception of specific attitudes and behaviors that are assumed to have a negative influence on the health situation, (2) their intention to change them, and (3) the implementation of the intended changes in their life affairs. Patients and Methods: Anonymous cross-sectional survey among 512 patients with chronic pain conditions (mean age 42.6 ± 11.4 years; 58% women) using standardized instruments. Results: After the elimination of 4 items, an explorative factor analysis of the 9 remaining items indicated 2 factors that would explain 57% of the variance: Perceptions/Intentions (5 items; Cronbach's alpha = 0.75) and Ability/ Implementation (4 items; alpha = 0.77). Factor 2 correlated moderately to strongly with internal adaptive coping strategies (AKU) and situational awareness (CPSC), and weakly with mental health (SF-36), life satisfaction (BMLSS), and low depressive symptoms (BDI) and escape from illness (Escape). Factor 1 correlated weakly with age and adaptive coping strategies (AKU). Conclusions: The final 9-item Perception, Intention and Ability to Change (PIAC) scale was approved as a short, practicable and promising instrument, which should be further evaluated in the context of training and intervention programs, particularly with respect to its predictive relevance.

Population Aging and Hospitalization for Chronic Disease in Germany

Abstract: The aging of the population and the changing rates of hospitalization for various diagnoses are exerting separate effects on the number of hospitalizations for chronic diseases in Germany. Predictions of hospital case numbers in the future must take both factors into account.
