Psychosocial Stressors in Blood Cancer Patients
Blood cancer patients often experience significant psychosocial stressors, with over 80% reporting distress related to their diagnosis and treatment. This distress affects not only the patients but also 90% of caregivers, highlighting the widespread impact of blood cancers on overall mental health. A key challenge is that many patients do not communicate these feelings to their healthcare providers, resulting in insufficient support. Clinical practice guidelines exist to address these psychosocial needs, yet they are frequently underutilized in practice, suggesting a critical gap in patient care.
