Sažetak

In addition to the healing and alleviation of primary somatic cancer symptoms, the comprehensive psycho oncological treatment of cancer patients is an important and fundamental component of oncological rehabilitation in Germany.
Rehabilitation treatment encompasses medical, physiotherapeutic, psychological, and creative therapeutic methods, as well as psycho-educational interventions within the framework of an individualized therapy plan. Psycho-oncological interventions within rehabilitation are governed less by individual therapeutic schools of thought, and more by a supportive, patient-centered approach that integrates various psychotherapeutic methods. Adapted methods and techniques from various psychotherapeutic approaches (behavioral therapy, psychoanalytical psychotherapies, systemic family therapy, or hypnotherapy) are currently used in the treatment of cancer patients.
A total of N=116 patients of the Paracelsus Clinic am See in Bad Gandersheim were able to be included in the study. In summary, this study shows that about two thirds of the patients admitted to the oncological rehabilitation clinic exhibit middle to high degrees of distress in the areas of anxiety and/or depression. Moreover, it appears to be particularly important to assess not only the mental distress of cancer patients but also their degree of information with regard to psycho-oncological treatment when performing screening for psycho-oncological treatment outside of the rehabilitation clinic setting. Here it is particularly important to accommodate for a differing need for differing forms of treatment (need for counseling, care, or treatment).
