Implication

Qualitative insights reveal barriers and facilitators of psychosocial screening in children with hematologic malignancies, suggesting a quality improvement initiative is necessary.

Key Points

  • Facilitators for psychosocial screening include trust and help-seeking normalization, improving mental health support resources for families.
  • Barriers to effective psychosocial screening involve standardized protocol lacks and reluctance to seek help due to pride and cultural beliefs.
  • Children with hematologic malignancies are at risk for depression and anxiety, complicating family psychosocial needs.
  • Thematic saturation was reached through qualitative interviews with caregivers and clinical staff in pediatric oncology.
