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

158 survey responses from patients, parents, siblings, and staff at the University Hospital of Cologne's Pediatric Oncology Department, collected between 2023 and 2025. The data captures perceptions of a newly established exercise therapy program during acute cancer treatment. The dataset was authored by Lena Böhlke and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Assessing patient and family satisfaction with inpatient exercise programs based on survey categories like 'Satisfaction' and 'Participation'.
• Identifying barriers to outpatient care continuity based on the noted lack of programs for outpatient phases.
• Evaluating staff perspectives on program integration and telehealth skepticism mentioned in the conclusion.
• Analyzing thematic feedback from open-ended questions in categories like 'Barriers and Motives' or 'Need for Support'.

Strengths

• Captures multi-stakeholder perspectives with 33 patient, 63 parent, 14 sibling, and 48 staff responses.
• Survey covered specific thematic categories including 'Communication/Education', 'Online Exercise Sessions', and 'Barriers and Motives'.
• Data is associated with a registered clinical trial (DRKS00034629), providing a research context.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small in scale (235.1 KB), representing a single-center study which may limit generalizability.
• Questionnaires were non-validated, which may affect the reliability and comparability of the survey results.
