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.

Frequency of experiencing falls and/or near falls

Will be calculated and reported along with a 95% confidence interval. Furthermore, circumstances surrounding reported falls collected by question 19 and 20 in the survey will be summarized by descriptive statistics. Answers about other aspects of safety concerns collected by the questionnaire will be reported by descriptive statistics. To further investigate the association of sociodemographic and disease characteristics of patients with their perception of safety logistic regression models may be applied. Answers to "Patient Continuity of Care Checklist" questionnaire will be summarized and subscale scores will be calculated. Subscale scores will be compared between patients with different safety perception by applying Wilcoxon rank sum test. All tests will be performed two-sided and at 5% nominal significance level unless otherwise stated. Other statistical approaches may be utilized when appropriate.
