[Demands for an internationalisation of German research as illustrated by the example of the journal "Das Gesundheitswesen". A contribution to the quality assurance of applied research].

OBJECTIVES: Basing on the recent discussion on internationalisation of German research publications, the most recent volume of "Das Gesundheitswesen" was bibliometrically analysed. METHODS: 125 articles were compared with respect to citing sources, the rate of self-citations, the number of times English or German journals or books were cited in the year 2001, the acceptance rate of the international state of research and of its leading representatives. These are indicators of scientific quality. RESULTS: The interdisciplinary approach by "Das Gesundheitswesen" has proven successful in view of certain indicators of scientific quality. CONCLUSION: Related to scientific quality standards "Das Gesundheitswesen" has achieved a good impact in the scientific community but some details require to be changed.

[Evaluation of the educational curriculum in psychosocial fields and general medicine in human medicine subjects--results of a total Germany pilot study in the 1995 summer semester].

With the discussion of the quality of medical education in Germany the importance of evaluating the curriculum has grown. A working group of representatives of the German scientific societies for general medicine and the so-called "psychosocial" disciplines in medical education had adapted a questionnaire from Harvard Medical School and tested this version for the first time in summer 1995. 56 teachers and 1250 students took part in this pilot study. The instrument proved to be sufficiently valid to evaluate the quality of different types of teaching lessons. The disciplines (Medical Sociology, Medical Psychology, Social Medicine, General Medicine, Psychotherapy/Psychosomatics) were valued equally with concern to their relevance for medical education. They got significantly better values for quality of teaching and teaching engagement of the professors. It is recommended to notice these results in the actual debate on the reform of the medical curriculum and to include other disciplines in further evaluative investigations.

[Current forum. 40 years German Central Unit for Public Health Care--the German Central Unit for Public Health Care was discontinued June 1996].

The German Centre for Public Health Care (Deutsche Zentrale für Volksgesundheitspflege = DZV) was founded during the winter of 1955/56. The DZV contributed to important issues and developments, such as the foundation of the Federal Ministry of Health 1960, the Law for Youth Labour Protection and the Federal Law on Dental Care for Children. In 1966 the DZV started special courses for "Professions in the Public Health Care Services". Since 1995 the board and management of the DZV aimed at integrating the organisation into the general development of public health and health promotion in Germany. The DZV was intended to function as an integrational forum for the discussion of health sciences, health care policy, health administration and health-oriented practice. But the economic situation finally caused the Federal Government to abandon the institutional subsidies granted to the DZV for over 40 years. The abolishment of the DZV means that on a Federal level, there is no independent institution left which unites public health care and prevention in the typical combination of politics and administration on the different levels of Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments and non-governmental institutions in the exchange of scientific knowledge, administration, politics and local efforts.
