No change in health behavior, BMI or self-rated health after a XXXX rehabilitation: Results of a randomized trial.

@entity5 @entity1 @entity167 @entity0
INTRODUCTION: The aim of @entity5 rehabilitation is to enable @entity1 to attain and maintain optimal physical, psychological and social functioning. We evaluated the effect on health behavior, BMI and self-rated health of a residential psychosocial rehabilitation course for @entity5 @entity1 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: @entity1 with a primary @entity0 were randomized to either a six-day multi-focus psychosocial residential rehabilitation intervention that included lectures, discussions and peer group discussions on issues related to treatment and life with @entity5 or to usual care. The end points were changes in smoking, @entity167 consumption, physical activity, body mass index and self-rated health between baseline and follow-up after one and six months. The primary analyses included all @entity1 who received their allocated condition. The two follow-up times were analyzed separately in general linear and logistic regression models for continuous and dichotomous outcomes, respectively. The analyses were adjusted for baseline outcome score, @entity5 site, time since diagnosis, age and education. RESULTS: Of the 507 @entity1 who were randomly assigned, 452 were included in the analysis, of whom 404 completed the one month and 394 completed the six month assessment. The intervention group showed slightly more positive changes in health behavior, BMI and self-rated health than the usual care group, but the differences between the groups were small and not significant. DISCUSSION: Participation in a six-day @entity5 rehabilitation course did not significantly influence health behavior, BMI or self-rated health among @entity5 @entity1 .
