Integrating research with practice: the psychosocial impact of breast cancer.
Social workers collecting data in this study of the psychosocial impact of breast cancer not only gained insights into clinical efforts and program planning, but also had opportunities for clinical intervention. Empirical results from the study, as well as practice models implemented based on these results, are presented. This model integrating research with practice holds considerable potential for enhancing social work practice.
