PURPOSE: The INFORM project aimed to assess the training and support needs of rehabilitation-related knowledge and skills among those working in social and health professions in medical rehabilitation, as well as facilitators and barriers to the use of offers.
METHODS: Following a mixed-methods approach, training and support demands of the clinical staff were explored within as well as across professions in group discussions (n=9 and 6, respectively) and interviews (n=10), supplemented by interviews with clinical heads (n=5). A nationwide online survey was conducted to verify and quantify the qualitative results (n=431 employees).
RESULTS: The initial phase of work in the professional field of medical rehabilitation proved challenging to new entrants, particularly without adequate onboarding, and was predominantly characterized as 'learning by doing'. This resulted in a crucial need for subsequent or further imparting of rehabilitation-specific skills. This included both overarching topics (e.g., communication with patients, dealing with workloads, interprofessional collaboration) and occupation-specific topics (e.g., innovations in social medicine, provision of assistive devices, support in coping with illness). There was a strong interest in online training for knowledge transfer as well as cross-clinic and interprofessional exchange. High levels of self-motivation and (also financial) support from clinics and superiors, respectively, were identified as promoting factors in using offers, while a lack of time or financial resources and limited availability of offers were identified as barriers.
CONCLUSION: Medical rehabilitation, particularly interprofessional collaboration, requires specific expertise and skills development in those working in social and health professions; this necessitates continuous training and professional exchange beyond the onboarding phase. Therefore, more flexible (digital), rehabilitation-specific, practical, and especially interprofessional offers are needed that can be better integrated into the daily work of rehabilitation staff. Options for action arise both at the individual and organizational levels, as well as for rehabilitation providers and professional associations.
