Abstract

Everyone’s cancer experience is different and adjusting to life after treatment can also vary among survivors. A diagnosis of cancer in itself, raises many questions which impact the patient and their families. In addition to treatment patients receive under their oncologists there is a team of knowledgeable professionals available to help patients and families cope with the physical and emotional aspect of dealing with cancer. We evaluated the role of such individuals in our regional cancer center and found that they play a significant role in making the lives of our patients and their families better. Social workers provide a wide range of services including psychosocial assessment with action plan, education and counseling intervention. Information and referral linkage to resources and services in the community, along with transition planning are an important aspects of their responsibility. All services are provided from a psychosocial perspective to maximize a patient's potential for treatment while enhancing

心理社会肿瘤学在加拿大地区癌症中心的发展作用
每个人的癌症经历都是不同的,治疗后对生活的适应也会因幸存者而异。癌症的诊断本身就会引发许多问题,影响到病人和他们的家人。除了患者在肿瘤学家的指导下接受治疗外,还有一个由知识渊博的专业人士组成的团队可以帮助患者和家属应对癌症带来的身体和情感方面的问题。我们评估了这些人在我们地区癌症中心的作用,发现他们在改善患者及其家人的生活方面发挥了重要作用。社会工作者提供广泛的服务,包括行动计划的心理社会评估、教育和咨询干预。与社区资源和服务的信息和转诊联系以及过渡规划是他们责任的一个重要方面。所有服务都是从社会心理角度提供的,以最大限度地提高患者的治疗潜力
