Survey of radiation therapists’ current practices and perceptions of psychosocial and supportive care in Canada and Norway
Significant differences exist in the current practices and perceptions of RTs in Canada and Norway regarding PSSC delivery. However, Canadian and Norwegian RTs agree that engaging in PSSC ensures the best care for patients undergoing radiation therapy. With enhanced training, knowledge translation of resources, and institutional support, RTs can better address the PSSC needs of their patients.
