Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Malignant Neoplasm

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Patients' perceptions regarding safety after acute inpatient rehabilitation

  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.

  1 month after discharge

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Frequency of experiencing falls and/or near falls

  1 month after discharge

Study Arms (1)

Observational (survey)

Participants complete surveys over 15 minutes at 1-2 days before discharge and at 1 month after discharge.
