Here is your single source of integrated information on providing the best psychosocial care possible from the knowledge available from many disciplines emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach to care and research in oncology practice and research. The Journal of Psychosocial Oncology is an essential source for up-to-date clinical and research material geared toward health professionals who provide psychosocial services to cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers. The journal—the first interdisciplinary resource of its kind—is in its third decade of examining exploratory and hypothesis testing and presenting program evaluation research on critical areas, including: the stigma of cancer; employment and personal problems facing cancer patients; health equity and LGBTQI+ care and research; financial toxicity; innovative programming to enhance patient education and psychosocial support; family involvement in patient care; children with cancer; the psychosocial and spiritual needs of cancer patients; hospital and hospice staff; and volunteers. The journal seeks manuscripts that demonstrate interprofessional collaborations between psychosocial clinicians and researchers regarding the care of individuals undergoing treatment for cancer.
The journal’s editorial board represents many different fields in psychosocial oncology, including oncology social work practice and research, education, epidemiology, health advocacy, integrative medicine, medical oncology, neurology, nursing, nutrition, spirituality, psychiatry, psychology, public health, oncology social work and sociology.
Regular features of the Journal of Psychosocial Oncology include: discussions of current ethical, philosophical, and existential issues; columns on research issues, strategies, and methodologies; clinical case studies; innovative programmatic appraoches to psychosocial care; interprofessional collaboration; manuscripts that demonstrate collaborations between clinicians and researchers; social justice and health equity; sexual health and spiritual care. We also seek book reviews that highlight important, new book-length works.
The journal seeks manuscripts that focus on the following topics within a psychosocial oncology practice, such as: clinical practice and program development, social justice, clinical issues for LGBTQAI+, systemic racism in oncology care, spiritual practices in psychosocial oncology and innovative approaches to clinical care through online and multimedia systems. These manuscripts can include clinical case studies as examples of best practices, program development and interprofessional collaborations. Manuscripts can focus on oncology staff support to develop resilience as well as approaches to leadership development and mentoring in oncology social work with an emphasis on interprofessional collaboration.
