The success of rehabilitation programmes is assumed to be influenced by patients' expectations and motivations toward these regimens. Yet only few standardized measurement instruments of these patient attributes are available. This paper is concerned with the development of a standardized questionnaire measuring patients' expectations and motivations with respect to rehabilitation programmes. Basically derived from focus group discussions with chronically ill, we defined and operationalized four dimensions of expectations toward rehabilitation programmes. In applying the questionnaire it could be shown that the instrument is easy to use, shows acceptable psychometric properties and is correlated with relevant patient characteristics.

This makes it challenging to provide meaningful feedback on the often-hidden metacognitive process of reasoning to address specific clinical reasoning difficulties.

Background: The Getting Older Adults Outdoors (GO-OUT) randomized controlled trial showed that a workshop and 10-week park-based outdoor walk group (OWG) was superior to the workshop and 10 weekly reminders (WR) with increasing walking capacity, but not outdoor walking activity, health-promoting behavior, or successful aging, among older adults with difficulty walking outdoors. The objective of this planned process evaluation was to explore participants' perceptions of mechanisms of impact of and contextual factors influencing experiences with the interventions to help explain the observed intervention effects on study outcomes.
Methods: A qualitative descriptive study involving semi-structured interviews conducted at 6-months post-baseline was conducted.
