Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Psychosocial Care
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Psycho-oncological care reduces distress and improves quality of life for cancer patients.
  • Discrepancies exist between patient screening, clinical impressions, and psycho-oncology assessments of needs.
  • Optimizing psychosocial screening is crucial for effective patient support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To professionalize psychosocial screening for targeted, needs-based psycho-oncological support.
  • To train oncology nursing staff for improved identification of distressed patients.
  • To enhance the delivery of needs-based psycho-oncological care.

Main Methods:

  • Multicenter, non-randomized pre-post study (OptiScreen) at three German Comprehensive Cancer Centers.
  • Inclusion of inpatients with gastrointestinal cancers.
  • Comparison group (N=300) assessment followed by intervention group (N=600) assessment after nursing training.

Main Results:

  • Aims to reduce patient and treatment barriers through interdisciplinary dialogue.
  • Linking screening with nurse-led consultations increases utilization.
  • Reduces patient fears, shame, and information deficits.

Conclusions:

  • A validated screening procedure must be feasible and useful in clinical practice.
  • "OptiScreen" aims to enhance the psycho-oncological care situation.
  • Develops a "best practice model" by professionalizing care with nursing involvement.
