Survey on Pediatric Oncology Exercise Therapy from Patients, Parents, Siblings, and Staff

A 2023-2025 monocentric survey assessed perceptions of a newly established exercise therapy program at a German pediatric oncology department. The survey collected responses from 33 patients, 63 parents, 14 siblings, and 48 staff members using questionnaires with open and closed questions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing satisfaction levels with inpatient exercise programs based on survey responses from patients and parents.
• Identifying barriers and motives for participation in exercise therapy based on questionnaire categories.
• Evaluating the perceived need for support and outpatient program expansion based on feedback from parents and staff.
• Comparing perspectives across different stakeholder groups (patients, parents, siblings, staff) on communication and education aspects of the program.

Strengths

• Includes multi-stakeholder perspectives from 158 total respondents (33 patients, 63 parents, 14 siblings, 48 staff).
• Survey covered specific categories: 'Communication/Education', 'Participation', 'Satisfaction', 'Need for Support', 'Online Exercise Sessions', and 'Barriers and Motives'.
• Data is associated with a registered clinical trial (DRKS00034629).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The survey used non-validated questionnaires and was conducted at a single center, which may limit generalizability.
