Of the 14 studies, 13 included cancer patients. Studies were across multiple settings and identified nine distress screening tools in use. Conclusion: The reviewed studies indicate that validated distress-screening tools are being used via telephone to identify distress, particularly in relation to cancer. Screening-driven supportive care referrals are also taking place in telephone-based services. However, not all services use an established referral protocol. Ongoing rescreening of callers' distress is also limited despite it being an important recommendation from psycho-oncology guidelines.]]> Fri 17 Jun 2022 17:38:11 AEST ]]> A cross-sectional audit of current practices and areas for improvement of distress screening and management in Australian cancer services: is there a will and a way to improve? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46949 Fri 09 Dec 2022 14:35:32 AEDT ]]>
