Assessing the Cultural Fit of a Digital Sleep Intervention for Refugees in Germany: Qualitative Study

Assessing the Cultural Fit of a Digital Sleep Intervention for Refugees in Germany: Qualitative Study

However, there are major gaps in mental health care for refugees in the receiving countries such as Germany [5,6], resulting from a lack of (culturally sensitive) services, language barriers, differences in help-seeking behavior and residence status, as well as stigmatization, among other barriers [7-9].

Insights Into How mHealth Applications Could Be Introduced Into Standard Hypertension Care in Germany: Qualitative Study With German Cardiologists and General Practitioners

In Germany, it is one of the most prevalent health conditions, affecting a considerable portion of the population. In Germany, 19 million people with statutory health insurance (26.3%) were diagnosed with high blood pressure in 2018 [5]. Prevention and successful management of hypertension are imperative in averting potentially severe complications, including ischemic heart disease, stroke, and renal disorders.

The Role of the Installed Base in Information Exchange Among General Practitioners in Germany: Mixed Methods Study

The Role of the Installed Base in Information Exchange Among General Practitioners in Germany: Mixed Methods Study

This, in turn, has resulted in somewhat incomplete explanations for the below-average digital development in Germany compared to other European countries [23,25]. For this reason, this paper identifies practices of information exchange between general practitioners (GPs) and other stakeholders in the German health care system, using the state of Brandenburg as an example.

Use of Video Consultation Between 2017 and 2020 in Outpatient Medical Care in Germany and Characteristics of Their User Groups: Analysis of Claims Data

Use of Video Consultation Between 2017 and 2020 in Outpatient Medical Care in Germany and Characteristics of Their User Groups: Analysis of Claims Data

The implementation of video consultations in the German Social Health Insurance (SHI) system in April 2017 was intended to establish a basis for providing outpatient medical services regardless of location and thus also in structurally disadvantaged regions in Germany. Older people and those with limited mobility were to be given easier access to medical services. Video consultations can be used in a variety of ways and therefore offer potential benefits for different patient groups.

Benefits and Barriers to mHealth in Hypertension Care: Qualitative Study With German Health Care Professionals

Benefits and Barriers to mHealth in Hypertension Care: Qualitative Study With German Health Care Professionals

In Germany, too, hypertension is one of the most common diseases affecting a large proportion of the population. Prevention and effective treatment of hypertension are therefore crucial to prevent associated serious complications such as ischemic heart disease, strokes, and renal disease, and to improve the quality of life of those affected [2-4].

Establishing Syndromic Surveillance of Acute Coronary Syndrome, Myocardial Infarction, and Stroke: Registry Study Based on Routine Data From German Emergency Departments

Establishing Syndromic Surveillance of Acute Coronary Syndrome, Myocardial Infarction, and Stroke: Registry Study Based on Routine Data From German Emergency Departments

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI), a federal agency and research institute responsible for disease control and prevention in Germany, has recognized the practical benefits of this approach. At the RKI, an ED syndromic surveillance system has been established in 2020, using daily routine data from the German Emergency Department Data Registry AKTIN [2]. Currently, 58 EDs in 12 German federal states voluntarily provide data for research and surveillance purposes.

Disease Awareness in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Analysis of Baseline Data From the SMART-Finder Observational Study

Disease Awareness in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Analysis of Baseline Data From the SMART-Finder Observational Study

However, data on the determination of UACRs in a real-life setting and the prevalence of CKD among patients with T2 DM in Germany are limited [23-26]. The SMART-Finder study was designed to determine the prevalence of CKD and risk factors, availability of UACR and e GFR values, satisfaction with treatment, and quality of life among patients with T2 DM using an adherence-supporting app in Germany [27].

Attitudes Toward Psychotherapeutic Treatment and Health Literacy in a Large Sample of the General Population in Germany: Cross-Sectional Study

Attitudes Toward Psychotherapeutic Treatment and Health Literacy in a Large Sample of the General Population in Germany: Cross-Sectional Study

In Germany, almost 30% of the population are estimated to have a mental disorder [1] but only about 10% have received treatment in the past year [2]. This means that about two-thirds of those with mental health problems do not receive adequate treatment. While the number of individuals not seeking help for mental disorders has decreased in recent years, the majority of individuals with mental disorders still do not seek treatment [3].

Evaluating the Acceptance and Usability of an Independent, Noncommercial Search Engine for Medical Information: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study and User Behavior Tracking Analysis

In Germany, medical professionals, notably physicians, have long been the primary source of health care information for the general population [1,2]. However, the landscape is evolving, and the internet now stands as the second most significant channel for health-related information [1], indicating a new trend in how people seek medical knowledge.

Influence of Partnership Relationships on Long-Term Neurological Rehabilitation in Germany: Protocol for a Qualitative Retrospective Study

Influence of Partnership Relationships on Long-Term Neurological Rehabilitation in Germany: Protocol for a Qualitative Retrospective Study

The number of patients with traumatic brain injury in 2016 in Germany was 419,507 [4]. More than 4000 patients become long-term care cases due to severe permanent injuries, resulting in high costs and limited ability to work [5]. The rehabilitation process for neurological diseases is highly complex, depends on numerous influencing factors, and is vague concerning the results.
