Community participation in cardiac rehabilitation.

Cardiac patients are not solely responsible for their own rehabilitation. The rehabilitative process is a prolonged one, and success lies in multidisciplinary management involving the patient, the immediate family and the community. The Health Act (Act No. 63 of 1977) has various implications for the future provision of rehabilitative services in South Africa. Each member of the health team and the community has a specific role to play, either within or outside the hospital setting, thus providing ongoing rehabilitative supervision of cardiac patients.

[Carcinoma after-care in an after-care clinic based on experiences at the Sonnenberg Clinic, Bad Soden-Allendorf].

The follow-up cure therapy in the framework of cancer follow-up treatment is of special importance. During the past 7 years 7814 patients have been treated according a special regimen in our clinic, which also includes cytostatic and hormonal therapy. Diagnostic control examinations for all patients are performed. Besides adequate medical treatment psychological and social aspects of the individual patient should be considered, furthermore the course of the disease, the question of again taking up life with their families and their partners and of returning to their former professional work. It could be shown that general discussion groups and cancer selfhelp groups, which are organized by the patients, are fruitful. It seems beneficial for the patients to participate in these activities in a follow-up clinic for a course of 6 weeks and they seem to recuperate better regarding their general health and survival time.
