Background: Prospective clinical studies are the most important tool in modern medicine. The standard in good clinical practice in clinical trials has constantly improved leading to more sophisticated protocols. Moreover, translational questions are increasingly addressed in clinical trials. Such trials must follow elaborate rules and regulations. This is accompanied by a significant increase in documentation issues which require substantial manpower. Furthermore, university-based clinical centers are interested in increasing the amount of patients treated within clinical trials, and this number has evolved to be a key quality criterion. The present study was initiated to elucidate the obstacles that limit clinical scientists in screening and recruiting for clinical trials. Methods: A specific questionnaire with 28 questions was developed focusing on all aspects of clinical trial design as well as trial management. This included questions on organizational issues, medical topics as well as potential patients' preferences and physician's goals. The questionnaire was established to collect data anonymously on a web-based platform. The survey was conducted within the Klinikum rechts der Isar, Faculty of Medicine, Technical University of Munich; physicians of all levels (Department Chairs, attending physicians, residents, as well as study nurses, and other study-related staff) were addressed. The answers were analyzed using the Survio analyzing tool (http://www.survio.com/de/). results: We collected 42 complete sets of answers; in total 28 physicians, 11 study nurses, and 3 persons with positions in administration answered our survey. The study centers reported to participate in a range of 3–160 clinical trials with a recruitment rate of 1–80%. Main obstacles were determined: 31/42 (74%) complained about limited human resources and 22/42 (52%) reported to have a lack on technicalresources, too. 30/42 (71%) consented to the answer, that the documentation effort of clinical trials is too large. A possible increase of the patients' study participation rate up to over 20% was deemed to be possible if the described limitations could be overcome. Discussion: The increasing documentation effort in clinical trials has led to a strong increase in the work load of scientific personnel. Recruiting of patients into clinical trials therefore is not only limited by patient issues, but also by the infrastructure of the centers. Especially the lack of study nurses is likely to be a major limitation. Furthermore, technical resources for time efficient and safe documentation within clinical routine as well as in clinical trials are required. By optimization of these factors, a significant increase in the amount of patients treated in clinical trials seems to be possible.

- Abstract
Background: In the last decades, several surgical approaches have been used to improve the appearance and quality of life of female Poland syndrome patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the women’s quality of life and long-term outcome after breast reconstruction. Methods: Forty-nine women with Poland syndrome who were treated surgically between 1974 and 2007 received standardized questionnaires to evaluate their quality of life and satisfaction after surgical treatment. Results: Patient response was 65%, with 32 completed questionnaires by 16 women who had pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous (LDM) flaps, 12 with tissue expander or silicone implants, and 4 who had free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps. Of these patients, 16 were satisfied or highly satisfied with their postoperative appearance (13 with LDM, 2 with prosthesis, and 1 with TRAM), 16 patients would recommend the same surgery to others under similar circumstances (10 with LDM, 5 with prosthesis, and 1 with TRAM), and 18 patients would choose the same method again (14 with LDM, 3 with prosthesis, and 1 with TRAM). Conclusions: In our study, we found that satisfactory outcome in breast reconstruction was achieved particularly when using the LDM flap, which remains the only method that recreates the anterior axillary fold. Future studies on reconstruction methods with autogenous tissue (e. g., TRAM, deep inferior epigastric perforator [ DIEP] flap) are needed, however, to analyze quality of life and long-term outcome in patients with Poland syndrome.

Background Ongoing changes in cancer care cause an increase in the complexity of cases which is characterized by modern treatment techniques and a higher demand for patient information about the underlying disease and therapeutic options. At the same time, the restructuring of health services and reduced funding have led to the downsizing of hospital care services. These trends strongly influence the workplace environment and are a potential source of stress and burnout among professionals working in radiotherapy. Methods and patients A postal survey was sent to members of the workgroup "Quality of Life" which is part of DEGRO (German Society for Radiooncology). Thus far, 11 departments have answered the survey. 406 (76.1%) out of 534 cancer care workers (23% physicians, 35% radiographers, 31% nurses, 11% physicists) from 8 university hospitals and 3 general hospitals completed the FBAS form (Stress Questionnaire of Physicians and Nurses; 42 items, 7 scales), and a self-designed questionnaire regarding work situation and one question on global job satisfaction. Furthermore, the participants could make voluntary suggestions about how to improve their situation. Results Nurses and physicians showed the highest level of job stress (total score 2.2 and 2.1). The greatest source of job stress (physicians, nurses and radiographers) stemmed from structural conditions (e.g. underpayment, ringing of the telephone) a "stress by compassion" (e.g. "long suffering of patients", "patients will be kept alive using all available resources against the conviction of staff"). In multivariate analyses professional group (p < 0.001), working night shifts (p = 0.001), age group (p = 0.012) and free time compensation (p = 0.024) gained significance for total FBAS score. Global job satisfaction was 4.1 on a 9-point scale (from 1 – very satisfied to 9 – not satisfied). Comparing the total stress scores of the hospitals and job groups we found significant differences in nurses (p = 0.005) and physicists (p = 0.042) and a borderline significance in physicians (p = 0.052). In multivariate analyses "professional group" (p = 0.006) and "vocational experience" (p = 0.036) were associated with job satisfaction (cancer care workers with < 2 years of vocational experience having a higher global job satisfaction). The total FBAS score correlated with job satisfaction (Spearman-Rho = 0.40; p < 0.001). Conclusion Current workplace environments have a negative impact on stress levels and the satisfaction of radiotherapy staff. Identification and removal of the above-mentioned critical points requires various changes which should lead to the reduction of stress.

Viele Krebspatienten lehnen eine professionelle Unterstützung trotz hohem psychosozialem Distress ab. Häufigste Ablehnungsgründe in dieser mixed- methods Studie (n=31) waren Hilfe durch soziales Umfeld, Reden bringt nichts und falscher Zeitpunkt. Zudem fanden sich die bisher noch wenig beforschten Ablehnungsgründe Diagnoseschock, gut vorbereitet durch familiäre Vorerfahrung, Fatalismus, medizinische Behandlung hat Vorrang und Verleugnung. Die Ergebnisse werden diskutiert und Handlungsfelder für eine verbesserte Integration der Psycho-Onkologie im klinischen Alltag aufgezeigt. Many cancer patients decline professional support despite high psychosocial distress. In this mixed-methods study (n=31) the most frequent reasons for declining support were receiving help by social environment, talking is useless and wrong timing. In addition, we found reasons that have been little researched so far: diagnosis shock, being well-prepared due to previous family experience, fatalism, priority of medical treatment and denial. The results are discussed and fields of action for an improved integration of psycho-oncology in everyday clinical practise are pointed out.

Medizin und Gesundheit ,ddc:610 - Abstract
In dieser Studie wurden die subjektiven Erfahrungen und Bewertungen von Krebs- und Rheumapatienten untersucht, die an einer kurzen Gruppentherapie gegen Progredienzangst teilnahmen. Grundlage der Analyse sind die Äußerungen der Patienten während katamnestischer Booster-Telefonanrufe. Die Äußerungen wurden transkribiert und mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet.Es ließen sich fünf Bewertungskategorien identifizieren, darunter zwei negative. Die positive Bewertung war bei Krebspatienten häufiger anzutreffen als bei Rheumapatienten. This study investigated the subjective experiences and appraisal of patients with cancer or arthritis who had partcipated in a brief group therapie for fear of progression. The comments of the patients who participated in booster phone calls after the group therapie were transcribed and later analysed using qualitative content analysis. The analysis yielded five categories, two of which were related to negative appraisals of participation in group therapie. The rate of patients indicating positive experiences was higher in cancer patients than in arthritis patients.

Medizin und Gesundheit ,ddc:610 - Abstract
Die Überprüfung der Manualtreue (Adhärenz-Messung) ist bei Wirksamkeitsstudien zu neuen Psychotherapie-Verfahren nach Kriterien der evidenzbasierten Medizin unerlässlich. Im Rahmen der PISO-Studie, welche die Wirksamkeit einer manualisierten Kurzzeittherapie bei multisomatoformer Störung untersucht, wurde auf Grundlage der „Sheffield-Psychotherapy-Rating-Scale“ (SPRS) ein adäquates Instrument zur Adhärenz-Messung entwickelt. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Therapeuten die im Manual vorgegebenen Interventionen mit unterschiedlicher Häufigkeit bzw. Intensität, insgesamt dem PISO-Therapiekonzept entsprechend, umsetzten. Patientenmerkmale und Outcome-Parameter zeigten heterogene Zusammenhänge mit dem Interventionsverhalten der Therapeuten. In studies investigating the effectiveness of new concepts of psychotherapy it is necessary to examine the adherence of therapists to the manual. In the context of PISO, a study investigating the effectiveness of a manualized short-time therapy for multisomatoform disorder, an adequate rating instrument was developed on the basis of the „Sheffield-Psychotherapy-Rating-Scale“ (SPRS). It could be proved that therapists used the prescribed interventions with different frequency and intensity, generally performing therapy as specified in the PISO-manual. Patient characteristics and outcome parameters showed heterogeneous correlations with the therapist’s use of interventions.

In der vorliegenden Studie wurden Krebspatienten, die eine konsiliarische oder ambulante psychoonkologische Behandlung in der Sektion Psychosoziale Onkologie der Psychosomatischen Klinik rechts der Isar München erhalten hatten, mittels eines neu entwickelten Fragebogens bezüglich ihrer Zufriedenheit befragt. Es wurden Aufwand und Nutzen der Implementierung einer solchen Qualitätssicherungsmaßnahme analysiert. Es stellte sich insgesamt heraus, dass die Patienten die Interventionen als sehr hilfreich erlebten, aber auch dass Mängel bzgl. der Informationen, Räumlichkeiten und Dokumentation bestanden. Des Weiteren wurden Determinanten der Patientenzufriedenheit analysiert. Die wichtigsten Faktoren waren: Geschlecht, Partnersituation und Krankheitsstadium. In reduziertem Umfang empfehlen sich derartige Qualitätsicherheitsmaßnahmen für die Routine. This quality assurance survey analyses patient satisfaction of patients with cancer, who took part in the consultation service or received outpatient psycho-oncological treatment at the Section for Psychosocial Oncology of the Clinic for Psychosomatic Medicine at Klinikum rechts der Isar Munich. For the investigation a newly developed questionnaire has been used. A feasibility-study of the implementation procedure has been undertaken. It showed that patients experienced the intervention as very helpful. On the other hand information-, accommodation- and documentation deficits had been detected. Another subject of the investigation was the analysis of the determinations of patient satisfaction. Most important factors were: gender, partnership status and status of illness. Such quality-assurance procedures can be recommended to be applied in reduced size for routine practice.

Medizin und Gesundheit ,Psychosocial Distress, Chronic Disease, Fear of Progression, Anxiety, COPD, PAD ,ddc:610 ,Bewältigung, Chronische Erkrankung, Progredienzangst, Seelische Belastung, COPD, PAVK - Abstract
Eine chronische Erkrankung belastet die Betroffenen auch psychisch. In dieser Arbeit wird das Vorkommen von Angst vor dem Fortschreiten der Erkrankung, einer wichtigen seelischen Belastung chronisch Kranker, mithilfe des Progredienzangst-Fragebogens von Herschbach et al. (2005) bei 52 Patienten mit Chronisch Obstruktiver Lungenerkrankung (COPD) und bei 60 Patienten mit Peripherer Arterieller Verschlusserkrankung (PAVK) untersucht. In beiden Erkrankungsgruppen zeigte sich die Progredienzangst als starke seelische Belastung, wobei die COPD-Patienten vergleichsweise höhere Werte aufweisen. Zu den häufigsten Inhalten der Befürchtungen gehören die Angst, im Alltag auf fremde Hilfe angewiesen zu sein und die Angst vor dem weiteren Verlauf der Erkrankung. Inhaltliche Schwerpunkte unterscheiden sich bei den zwei Diagnosegruppen. Bei COPD-Patienten sind Sorgen um Familie und Beruf vergleichsweise häufiger. Im Bereich der Angstbewältigung schneiden die PAVK-Patienten schlechter ab. The detection and treatment of psychosocial needs should be an important part of the care of the chronically ill. In this work the Fear of Progression of the disease, which has proved to be an important content of psychosocial distress, has been examined in 52 patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonal Disease (COPD) and 60 patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) by the Fear of Progression Questionaire by Herschbach et al. (2005). In both groups Fear of Progression has been shown as an important problem, with higher numbers in COPD-patients. Among the most important contents are the fear of being dependent of help in daily life and the fear of further progression of the disease. Within the diagnostic groups the contents vary. Worries about partnership or family and about work are more common in COPD-patients. PAD-patients show worse results in coping with their fears.

Medizin und Gesundheit ,Verschiebung der leitenden Position vom Arzt auf den Patienten, Individualisierung, Autonomie und wachsende Dominanz auf der Seite der Patienten ,ddc:610 - Abstract
Das Arzt-Patienten-Verhältnis, aus der Perspektive des Deutschen Ärzteblattes betrachtet, unterliegt in der Zeit von 1949 bis einschließlich 2005 einer progressiven Entwicklung, die hauptsächlich auf einer Verschiebung der leitenden Position vom Arzt auf den Patienten beruht. Charakteristisch für dieses Verhältnis ist die Tatsache, dass der Patient selbst das Ausmaß an ärztlicher Autorität bestimmt und der Arzt die durch den Patienten gewählte Rolle annimmt. Individualisierung, Autonomie und wachsende Dominanz auf der Seite der Patienten charakterisieren, aus der Perspektive des Deutschen Ärzteblattes betrachtet, die Entwicklung des Arzt-Patienten-Verhältnisses. Die Rolle des Arztes hingegen hat sich aus einer eindeutig definierten autoritären Haltung in eine flexible Position verwandelt, die individuell und situationsabhängig auf den Patienten und seine Bedürfnisse abgestimmt wird. Doctor-patient relationship is since 1949 until 2005 subject to a progressive development which is mainly caused by changing the leading function from the doctor to the patient. A characteristic attribute of this relationship is the fact that the patient defines the extent of the doctor's authority and the doctor accepts the role which is chosen by the patient. Patient's individualization, autonomy and growing dominance characterize the development of the doctor-patient relationship. On the other hand doctor's role has turned from a authoritarian position into a flexible position which is attuned individually and contingent upon the situation to the patient and his requirements.
