Assessing Self-Help Orientation Among German Rehabilitation Clinics: Website Content Analysis

This is the first analysis measuring the self-help orientation of rehabilitation clinic websites and indicates that it falls short of its potential. The findings suggest that greater emphasis on self-help display and collaboration with self-help in rehabilitation is needed. It can be achieved by using the concept of SHF, integrating self-help closely into clinic missions and treatment plans and considering the criteria developed in designing clinic websites to increase patient orientation.

Abstract

This is the first analysis measuring the self-help orientation of rehabilitation clinic websites and indicates that it falls short of its potential. The findings suggest that greater emphasis on self-help display and collaboration with self-help in rehabilitation is needed. It can be achieved by using the concept of SHF, integrating self-help closely into clinic missions and treatment plans and considering the criteria developed in designing clinic websites to increase patient orientation.
