Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) score at 30 days. Patients completed the DASI, a 12-item questionnaire using a Likert-like scale that determines a patient's ability to participate in daily self-care activities including ambulation, housework, yard work, sexual relations, and recreational activities. A total score reflects functional status based on responses. The full range of scores is 0 (most severe functional impairment) to 58.2 (no functional impairment). There is no established cut-point for this scale. Positive, higher scores reflect a positive and better functional status.

PROMIS® Dyspnea Functional Limitations - Short Form 10a was used. It is a 10-item tool that measures dyspnea by asking 10 questions about the difficulty in completing activities in the past 7 days. Responses range from "0 = no difficulty" to "3 = much difficulty" and there is an option for "I did not do this in the past 7 days" - there were 5 response options in total. Minimum and maximum raw scores are 0-30. PROMIS T scores are standardized with scores around 50 (standard deviation of 10) equating to normal/average levels and scores above or below equating to heightening or lessening of the variable being measured. A 5 point change in score is considered significant. A table is used to translate the total raw score to T score for each participant.

10-item Fatigue Assessment Scale from baseline. The Fatigue Assessment Scale is a valid, reliable 10-item scale evaluating symptoms of chronic fatigue. It uses Likert-type response options ranging from 1 ("never") to 5 ("always"), with some items reverse scored. Total scores range from 10 (lowest level of fatigue) to 50 (highest level of fatigue).

PROMIS Self-Efficacy for Managing Symptoms Short form 8a for managing symptoms, from baseline. 8-item tool that ranges from 'I am not at all confident' to 'I am very confident" - higher scores equals higher self-efficacy. A mean score of 50 is the average score in the general population of U.S. with standard deviation of 10. A table is used to translate the total raw score to T score for each participant. The T score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Higher scores (above 50) reflect better than average self-efficacy

Among intervention group participants, total number of all-cause events within 30 days of discharge, based on the number of times the patient watched the video education. Participant responses are grouped into two categories: Never watched vs. 1 or more times

Total number of participants (video education group only), comparison of all-cause events within 30 days of discharge, based on family members watching the educational videos after the hospital (Yes/No).
