Barriers and facilitators of psychosocial service provision for patients with cancer across six hospitals in Ethiopia: a qualitative study
Integrating PSS into routine cancer care requires a shift in the mindset of patients, providers, and leadership, recognizing PSS as an essential component of comprehensive cancer care. Raising awareness about home visits and strengthening provider skills through targeted training on disclosure can improve patient engagement and quality of care.
