Psychosocial support utilization among breast cancer patients experiencing reproductive concerns: A cross-sectional cohort study
These data underscore the role of demoralization, HRQOL, and prior mental health care experiences in BC patient's PSS utilization. Many distress screening tools assess patients for the presence of depression and anxiety, but do not assess for demoralization. Thus, incorporating demoralization into screening tools may better identify and engage BC patients with reproductive concerns in PSS services.
