Psychosocial Aspects of Cancer Survivorship

The goal of this curriculum is to assure that all cancer survivors receive follow-up cancer care in which the psychosocial aspect is fully integrated and that no survivor who is distressed goes unrecognized and untreated.

Specific objectives are the following:

• To teach oncologists and nurses in primary oncology clinics how to rapidly identify the survivors who are distressed and to treat their distress or refer them to appropriate counseling resources;
• To use an online distance-learning approach that will allow oncology professionals who treat cancer survivors to participate in four basic lectures on psychosocial aspects of survivors and to provide them with continuing education units following an online examination;
• To evaluate the impact of the pilot project of four lectures to guide further expansion of the curriculum to cover the major psychosocial issues facing cancer survivors.

IPOS and ESO Online Multilingual Curriculum

The International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) and the European School of Oncology (ESO) have partnered to create a new online lecture series in psycho-oncology. The Multilingual Core Curriculum in Psycho-Oncology features five webcasts in key areas of psychosocial oncology: Communication Skills, Anxiety, Distress Management, Depression and Psychosocial Assessment. Each lecture is to be translated into six languages: English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian and Spanish. Most of the translations have been completed and are posted to the IPOS and ESO websites. IPOS and ESO request, if you view a lecture, that you please complete the adjacent evaluation for the lecture to assist them in collecting feedback and possibly furthering the project.
