| Sumario: | <h4>Objective</h4>The study examined whether psychiatric/psychosomatic rehabilitation continues to have a better course of treatment for women than men.<h4>Methods</h4>We compared the course of global symptom severity, health-related quality of life and functioning between admission and discharge in patients (848 men, 1412 women) at an Austrian psychiatric/psychosomatic rehabilitation clinic.<h4>Results</h4>Gender-specific differences in the course of treatment were all too small to be clinically relevant. The differences were smallest in the middle-aged cohort. However, at the time of admission, women reported a slightly higher symptom burden.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Overall, the results show a gender-fair effectiveness of the rehabilitation. The new findings could be explained by changes in living conditions, gender roles, or better treatment methods. |
