Article Synopsis
- Intensive chemotherapy in children with cancer can lead to psychological issues, making treatment facilities and psychological support crucial to mitigate these effects.
- In 1998, a psychological support program was introduced in 7 Polish pediatric oncology centers, and patients' psychological adjustment was assessed 5 years post-therapy.
- While the program aimed to provide comprehensive support based on established guidelines, many centers only implemented parts of it due to challenges in getting medical staff to communicate openly with young patients about their diagnoses and treatment plans.
