Abstract

Identifying and assessing psychosocial distress with an appropriate screening instrument is essential when caring for cancer patients. Since 2012, the distress thermometer (DT) has been used by nurses for all cancer inpatients at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Zurich. We wanted to identify nurses’ adherence to the screening protocol, differences between screened and not screened patients and the relationship between screening rate and productivity.
