    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Psychosocial Support
    • Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Health

    Background:

    • Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer often receive care in pediatric or adult settings, leading to gaps in specialized psychosocial support.
    • Healthcare professionals may lack awareness of the distinct life circumstances and needs of AYAs undergoing cancer treatment.
    • This can result in suboptimal care that does not adequately address the psychosocial impact of cancer on this age group.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and describe the key psychosocial challenges faced by AYAs after a cancer diagnosis.
    • To provide guidance for healthcare professionals on delivering supportive care that enhances the quality of life for AYAs with cancer.

    Main Methods:

    • The chapter synthesizes existing knowledge on psychosocial aspects of supportive care for AYAs with cancer.
    • It reviews critical topics including youth-friendly environments, social support, parental involvement, and psychosocial crisis management.
    • Specific tools and areas like HEADSS, peer support, fertility, body image, and end-of-life care are discussed.

    Main Results:

    • AYAs experience significant psychosocial challenges related to their cancer diagnosis and treatment trajectory.
    • Effective supportive care requires attention to a youth-friendly environment, robust social networks, and tailored information provision.
    • Addressing issues such as fertility, body image, self-esteem, and future challenges is crucial for improving AYA well-being.

    Conclusions:

    • Healthcare systems must adapt to better meet the unique psychosocial needs of AYAs with cancer.
    • Healthcare professionals require enhanced knowledge and strategies to provide age-appropriate and supportive care.
    • Implementing comprehensive psychosocial support is essential for improving the overall quality of life for AYAs throughout their cancer journey and beyond.
