Summary of the project

This project aims to investigate the extent to which patients' personal "lifeworld" and in particular their affiliation to certain socio-cultural milieus influence the subjective perception of illness, the course and success of treatment for mental illness in psychosomatic rehabilitation. The aim is to use the SINUS social milieus to statistically determine whether patients from different "lifeworlds" or different social milieus differ with regard to the above aspects.

Impact of the corona pandemic on research:

The start of data collection was delayed by several months due to the COVID pandemic, meaning that the data could only be analysed in December 2020.
