Psychosocial distress, perceived need and utilization of psycho- social support services in patients in the early phase after the first cancer diagnosis
Although most patients would accept a psycho- social service, regardless of whether there is psychosocial distress or a need is perceived, the actual utilization was relatively low. It can therefore be assumed that barriers, e.g. structural or personal ones, prevent access. These should be investigated in more detail in future studies.
