Feasibility and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Psychosocial Support Program for Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Patients in Clinical Practice: A Retrospective Observational Study

This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a psychosocial support program based on the DTPL-J for AYAs, using the 5 dimensions of the RE-AIM framework.

Year:2023

Adolescent and young adult cancer patients (AYAs) often experience profound psychological distress, with various unmet supportive care needs that can be alleviated with appropriate screening and attention by healthcare workers. The Distress Thermometer and Problem List-Japanese version (DTPL-J) is our previously developed screening tool to facilitate individual support of AYAs. This study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a psychosocial support program based on the DTPL-J for AYAs in clinical practice.
