What is Implementation of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Psychosocial Cancer Care about?

Psychosocial clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) provide evidence-based recommendations regarding clinical care in oncology, ranging from screening for distress to identification and treatment of disorders such as depression and anxiety. This chapter describes the evolution of CPGs, frameworks for evaluation of quality, and strategies for dissemination and implementation. It also describes the challenges in implementation of CPGs including the quality of supporting psychosocial research, which is dominated by descriptive studies rather than interventions; insufficient cost-benefit research to leverage practice change; and lack of research to guide recommendations in low- and middle-income countries. Strategies to increase implementation include alignment of research with implementation science, embedding psychosocial care in national cancer plans, and focus on systems design and clinician engagement. The role of patients and caregivers as advocates for access to evidence-based psychosocial care is also discussed.
