Abstract
A paediatric cancer diagnosis may exceed the resources of the children, adolescents and their families. The goal of this article is to describe the status quo of paediatric psycho-oncology. First, the nature and prevalence of psycho-reactive symptoms will be described and a process-oriented model which includes risk- and protective factors to describe the coping process with the illness will be developed. Subsequently, the importance of implementing routine psychological screening is emphasized. Although in the meanwhile psycho-oncological support is an integral part of multidisciplinary treatment, there are only few effectiveness studies in this field. In addition, it remains unclear how the psycho-oncological follow-up and the transition to adult-care should be designed and thus conclusions for future directions are drawn. Schlagworte
