Der Effekt der Intervention "Schwitzhütte" auf die Veränderung psychischer Beschwerden im Vergleich zur üblichen psychosomatischen Rehabilitation

Abstract

The univariate analysis of the effect of the sweat lodge on the difference in psychical complaints (D-PSY) is described in the following. The value of psychological distress of patients at the start of treatment provides information about how high are the psychological discomfort at the beginning of rehabilitation. A high value represents high psychological distress. The influence of Schwitzhüttentherapie compared to standard rehab is examined alongside the univariate analysis in a multiple regression analysis, as do the two groups with respect to several co-variables. Thus, the Schwitzhütteneffekt is adjusted and is not as strongly affected by selection effects and group differences.
