Bridging the gap: A quality improvement project to implement psychosocial care standards into clinical practice in pediatric oncology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Psychosocial guidelines and standards systematically describe stressors and resources in particularly challenging situations and hence serve as a basis for interventions to achieve defined psychosocial goals. Despite fundamental principles and guidelines for psychosocial methods, the quality of provided care varies considerably depending on setting, provision, and profession. The purpose of the present protocol is to illustrate the development and evaluation of the standardized psychological intervention "My Logbook", a practical guide accompanying children through all stages of treatment by directly translating current quality standards of psychosocial care into practice.

Methods

In an evidence-based set-up, using face-to-face discussions and telephone conference
