In Germany, medical-occupational rehabilitation represents an essential link between rehabilitation programs focusing either on medical or occupational rehabilitation. Its main objective is return to work. The current study presents the vocational integration 5 years after medical-occupational rehabilitation and determines possible prognostic factors for long-term occupational integration. To evaluate the effectiveness of medical-occupational rehabilitation, a 5-year-follow-up interview was conducted with participants (n=105) of the multicenter study on medical-occupational rehabilitation (MEmbeR). As a main result, 76% of the participants were still employed 5 years after medical-occupational rehabilitation and the return to work rate was 57%. Prognostic factors for long-term occupational integration could not be identified. However, a low degree of disability, an unrestricted capacity for teamwork as well as an unrestricted ability to judge might be beneficial factors for a successful reintegration. The high amount of participants who returned to work 5 years after medical-occupational rehabilitation, supports the concept of medical-occupational rehabilitation. However, more studies are needed to identify further factors influencing the outcome.

Purpose: While research is beginning to reveal the potential of dialogue in sparking critical reflection (critically reflective ways of seeing), additional research is needed to guide the teaching of critical reflection toward enabling critically reflective practice (critically reflective ways of seeing and doing). An experimental study was conducted to investigate the impact of dialogic learning on critically reflective practice, compared to discussion-based learning. The dialogic intervention integrated the theory of Mikhail Bakhtin with the theory of critical reflection and critical disability studies.
