Summary

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies tailored patient educational intervention or standard education in assessing perceived risk for falls in hospitalized oncology patients. A tailored patient educational intervention may be more beneficial than standard education in preventing patients from falling by increasing the patient's knowledge of the risk factors for falling routinely and then providing education in deficit areas. Making patients more aware of the risk factors for falling may lead to greater engagement in preventative activities.
