[Development, structure and initial evaluation of a comprehensive psychosocial care program for children with cancer and their families].
The development and trial of a model care program carried out by psychologists in close collaboration with oncologists aimed at the comprehensive in- and off-ward care of children with cancer and their families is reported. A structured psychosocial anamnesis in interview-form ("Aufnahmebogen") and an information list ("Checkliste") are used shortly after diagnosis to identify problems and to systematically inform on psychosocial support schemes. The procedure allows a comprehensive, early and preventative psychosocial care. An evaluation of 646 carefully documented contacts was carried out according to the criteria: number of contacts, initiator, person contacted, reason for contact and function of the psychologist. Various prerequisites important for the integration of psychologists into the oncological team are specified and discussed.
