| Abstract: | Effectiveness of care is an essential aspect of geriatric rehabilitation. Usually, there are indicator sets to measure the effectiveness of care. However, this is not the case for geriatric rehabilitation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify effectiveness outcome measures feasible for geriatric rehabilitation. Additionally, characteristics of treatment environment that could influence the effectiveness of geriatric rehabilitation were explored. To identify outcome measures and characteristics of treatment environment for geriatric rehabilitation, a literature search was performed. Thereafter, in the quantitative phase, the feasibility of the identified outcome measures was assessed using questionnaires. Interviews in the qualitative part of this study provided insight into the effect of the characteristics of treatment environment on the effectiveness of geriatric rehabilitation. Eight outcome measures were identified from the literature, seven of these outcome measures are feasible for geriatric rehabilitation. One additional feasible outcome measure came up during the quantitative research. Eight characteristics of treatment environment were identified from the literature, seven characteristics are expected to influence the effectiveness of geriatric rehabilitation. This study contributes to the effectiveness of geriatric rehabilitation by providing a first set of outcome measures. Additionally, this study provided insight into characteristics of treatment environment that can influence the effectiveness of geriatric rehabilitation. Follow-up research is recommended and may include an assessment of the validity and reliability of the outcome measures. |
