Congruity of Perceived Psychosocial Needs of Individuals with Cancer.

Bordieri, James E.; And Others

Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, v36 n2 p120-25 Dec 1992

Individuals (n=32) with cancer rank ordered 15 psychosocial needs in terms of importance to themselves. Similarly, their family members (n=41), oncology nurses (n=45), hospital social support staff (n=40), and rehabilitation counselors (n=41) ranked same needs. Differences were reported among groups in nine need areas, indicating that perceptual discrepancies existed. (Author/NB)
