Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study examined the feasibility of implementing the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT2.0) from the perspectives of families and health-care providers (HCPs). PAT2.0 data were collected from 104 families. Individual and focus group interviews were conducted with HCPs. Parents reported that the PAT2.0 was brief and easy to complete. HCPs' perspectives on the utility of the PAT2.0 were mixed and varied according to clinical roles. A major perceived benefit was the PAT2.0 as a communication tool. Barriers included timing and an increased workload for social workers. Psychosocial screening represents a significant practice change for oncology HCPs and is an important area of ongoing research.
