Ask us: we know about psychosocial care.
Oncology nurses have always known that a diagnosis of cancer impacts the psychosocial well-being of a person. And, often, oncology nurses are the ones who detect psychosocial concerns in patients, as well as noticing changes-often subtle differences in a patient's usual manner-which require further assessment and possibly referral or treatment.
