Psychosocial Interventions in Oncology

Psychosocial interventions in oncology are supportive strategies designed to help cancer patients cope with the emotional, social, and psychological challenges of their diagnosis and treatment. These can include counseling, support groups, stress management techniques, and education about the disease. By addressing mental health and social needs, these interventions aim to improve patients' overall well-being, enhance their quality of life, and potentially even improve treatment outcomes. They recognize that healing involves not just physical health but also emotional and social support during a difficult time.
