简要总结
This trial studies a survey of post-acute inpatient rehabilitation safety concerns in participants with cancer. Collecting patients' feedback via surveys may help doctors to learn more about the safety concerns that patients have when they are discharged from the acute inpatient cancer rehabilitation unit.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess patients' perceptions regarding safety after acute inpatient rehabilitation at discharge and after approximately one month from discharge date.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess patient's perception of factors impacting continuity of care at discharge and after approximately one month from discharge date.
II. Determine the frequency of reported falls and the circumstance surrounding reported falls during hospitalization and within approximately one month from discharge date.

结局指标
主要结局
Patients' perceptions regarding safety after acute inpatient rehabilitation
时间窗: 1 month after discharge
Will be assessed by Patient Continuity of Care Checklist and Perceptions Regarding Safety after Rehabilitation. At the end of study, patients' demographics and clinical characteristics will be summarized for all the patients who participated in the study by standard descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, median, and range for continuous variables and frequency and proportion for categorical variables. The association between these characteristics and feeling safe will be evaluated by Wilcoxon rank sum test and chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. The proportion of patients who claim they feel safe at each time will be estimated and reported along with the 95% Clopper-Pearson exact confidence interval. McNemar's test will be applied to evaluate whether the status of feeling safe has changed from the time of discharge to one month afterwards.
次要结局
- Frequency of experiencing falls and/or near falls(1 month after discharge)
