abstract = "OBJECTIVES: Everyone applying for medical rehabilitation (and other benefits to support participation) has a {"}Wunsch- und Wahlrecht{"} (meaning the right to individual wishes and choice relative to assessments, services and institutions as well as to the various benefits) according to § 9 of Book 9 of the German Social Code (SGB 9) concerning every aspect of the implementation of these services. This study was aimed at exploring the wishes of rehabilitants, their attitudes towards and experiences with the various aspects of the {"}Wunsch- und Wahlrecht{"} as well as their criteria in choosing a rehabilitation centre.METHODS: A total of 10 open guided focus groups were conducted with 71 male and female participants from 5 different indications and aged between 26 and 80 years. Transcripts were analyzed by means of a summary content analysis.RESULTS: Persons applying for medical rehabilitation benefits did not as a rule get information about their {"}Wunsch- und Wahlrecht{"} during the application process. Applying for post-hospital rehabilitation often meant to be faced with an only allegedly existing choice ({"}pseudo Wunsch- und Wahlrecht{"}).

Most of them did not care about their rights to choose a rehab centre if only the application for rehabilitation was allowed. Various arguments were brought forward against the {"}Wunsch- und Wahlrecht{"}, especially insufficient information about and time for enforcement and implementation of the {"}Wunsch- und Wahlrecht{"}. Despite an explicit stipulation in § 9 SGB 9, notices of approval rarely stated reasons for ignoring the wishes expressed by the applicants.
