Survey on Pediatric Oncology Exercise Therapy in Cologne, 2023-2025

158 survey responses from patients, parents, siblings, and staff at the Pediatric Oncology Department of the University Hospital of Cologne, collected between 2023 and 2025. The data, authored by Lena Böhlke, captures perceptions of a newly established exercise therapy program during acute cancer treatment. Results indicate over 50% satisfaction among surveyed patients and parents, but highlight gaps in outpatient care.

Use Cases

• Analyze satisfaction and perceived barriers to exercise therapy based on survey categories like 'Satisfaction' and 'Barriers and Motives'.
• Compare perspectives across stakeholder groups (patients, parents, siblings, staff) on program elements like 'Communication/Education' and 'Need for Support'.
• Identify gaps in care delivery, such as the noted lack of outpatient exercise programs, to inform service design.
• Evaluate the acceptance and potential of telehealth components based on feedback about 'Online Exercise Sessions'.

Strengths

• Includes 158 survey responses from four distinct stakeholder groups (33 patients, 63 parents, 14 siblings, 48 staff).
• Survey covers multiple thematic categories including 'Satisfaction', 'Barriers and Motives', and 'Online Exercise Sessions'.
• Data is recent, collected between 2023 and 2025, and is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is small in scale (233.1 KB) and based on a single-center (monocentric) survey, limiting generalizability.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download from the PDF report.
• The survey used non-validated questionnaires, which may affect the reliability of the findings.
