[How does subjective well-being of elderly patients during inpatient geriatric rehabilitation change?]

Abstract

During rehabilitation of patients suffering from a recent hip fracture, we evaluated the development of several aspects of their subjective well-being (n = 87, age: 70 to 94)). In most cases, a deterioration of subjective well-being due to the consequences of the hip fracture could be prevented; the well-being improved in most cases. When discharged, the subjective well-being of our patients was comparable to the well-being of similar-aged people living at home.
