No full textPreface: Psycho-oncology: integrating science into clinical care
No full textPsycho-oncology, as the specialty aiming at studying the psychological, social, and spiritual factors that affect the quality of life of cancer patients and their loved ones, has grown exponentially over the past 30 years, with a specific role in the multidisciplinary approach to cancer and in patient-centered cancer
treatment planning. Guidelines and recommendations on psychosocial care in cancer have been developed and implemented in a number of countries throughout the world. The International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) and the Federation
of the Psycho-Oncology societies Statement on Standards and Clinical Practice Guidelines in Cancer, represents an important result with regard to psychosocial care of cancer patients. The right that any person has to receive optimal care, with all components of the healthcare system explicitly incorporating attention to psychosocial needs into their policies, practices, and standards is at the center of the declaration of psycho-oncology in cancer care as a human right that the IPOS is launching in collaboration with international advocacy movements throughout the world. In summary, psycho-oncology has reached a level of evidence and experience making it a specialist discipline within the vast field of the psychosocial/psychiatric specialties aiming at improving the quality of life of ill people
Intervention in Psycho-Oncology: from treating cancer patients and their families to training cancer professionals in psychosocial aspects of care
No full textABSTRACT: The role of psychosocial intervention in cancer care has been repeatedly underscored by both research and clinical experience. Several types and forms of psychological treatment (e.g., psychoeducation, rehabilitation, psychotherapy) have been developed and described in terms of both efficacy and effectiveness. Psychopharmacology has also been shown to be a strategic tool in integrated psychosocial treatments. The other side of the same principle is represented by intervention for health care professional and multidisciplinary teams (MDTs). Specific forms
of training (e.g., communication skills, interpersonal relationships training) have proved to be effective in improving the ability of MDTs to recognize psychosocial needs of cancer patients and their families and to properly refer them to psychooncology services. Special intervention to reduce burnout symptoms have also been
shown as a necessity in health care staff working in the oncology settings. Thus, psycho-oncology, as a specialized discipline, should be integrated in the series of treatments that aim to improve the quality of life of cancer patients and the quality of care provided by well-functioning MDTs
