Concentrated Cross-disciplinary Group Intervention for Common Health Complaints (Including Post COVID-19 Fatigue)

Brief summary (from the registry)

The health care is faced by a growing challenge in the years to come: increasing age and chronic morbidity raising the costs, combined with decreased work participation. Among the conditions on the rise, we find anxiety/depression, musculoskeletal conditions, type 2 diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Recently, the rise of the Corona pandemic has yielded another group of (primarily young) patients with decreased work capacity, the post-Covid syndrome sufferers. The aim of the present study is to establish, describe and summarize the experiences with a novel approach to rehabilitation for five of the most costly conditions; 1) low back pain, 2) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 3) type 2 diabetes mellitus, 4) mixed anxiety/depression and 5) post-Covid fatigue. The concentrated interdisciplinary rehabilitation is characterised by three phases; 1. Pre-intervention preparation (1-2 months): with the aim to mobilize the patients' resources for change 2. Concentrated group intervention (2-5 days): interdisciplinary team - individually tailored training (further described below) 3. Post-intervention follow-up (1 year): digital follow-up with the aim of integrate the changes into everyday living The concentrated intervention: The core intervention is based on trans-diagnostic features of the highly successful 4-day intervention for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, namely: * Initiate treatment when the patient is ready for change * Focus on the behavioral patterns which maintain the disorder and help the patient to identify situations where they can choose to break the pattern ("micro-choices"). * Assist the patient when they practice breaking the patterns. This may pertain to how they do physical training or to the way they walk, sit, eat, talk, take their medication and sleep, or to how they engage in social activities or take care of others. * Use long sessions to ensure that they face a broad range of potential micro-choices * Work side-by side with ot…
