Take charge: Patients' experiences during participation in a rehabilitation programme for burnout.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of patients with burnout during a rehabilitation programme.

Patients And Methods: Eighteen patients with burnout were interviewed at the end of a one-year rehabilitation programme. The programme consisted of 2 groups, one with a focus on cognitively-oriented behavioural rehabilitation and Qigong and 1 with a focus on Qigong alone.

Cognitively oriented behavioral rehabilitation in combination with Qigong for patients on long-term sick leave because of burnout: REST--a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Despite an increase in the occurrence of burnout, there is no agreement on what kind of rehabilitation these patients should be offered.

Purpose: Primary aim of this study was to evaluate effects on psychological variables and sick leave rates by two different group rehabilitation programs for patients on long-term sick leave because of burnout. Rehabilitation program A (Cognitively oriented Behavioral Rehabilitation (CBR) and Qigong) was compared with rehabilitation program B (Qigong only).
