It is acknowledged by various organizations, experts, and researchers around the world that meeting psychological and social needs is an important factor in cancer treatment. However, there is a shortage of psychosocial care supply for cancer patients and their family members in Lithuania. The aim of this study is to discern the causes of this insufficient supply. In order to find out the possible causes, Jon Elster’s action explanation framework was used. According to the framework, it is possible to deduce these factors: institutional constraints, economical (resources and labor supply) constraints, social preferences, and political preferences. Qualitative research (expert interviews) and secondary data analysis research methods were employed to gather the required data. A data analysis shows that the there are no institutional constraints for the provision of psychosocial care. However, there is a lack of public resources dedicated for the provision of psychosocial care. As a consequence, the main providers of psychosocial care for cancer patients and their family members are NGOs, which heavily depend on volunteer labor force. There is a contradiction in the point of view toward the professionalization of psychosocial care provision. It is the natural position of medical professionals that the provision of psychosocial care should be in the hands of professionals. On the other side, NGOs disagree with such a perspective. The need for psychosocial care is verbalized by experts and professionals; however, the general public prefers medical treatment. Thus, it is understandable why the public resources allocated to the provision of psychosocial care are so scarce. It is also evident that the political parties are not interested in psychosocial care, as it was shown by our analysis of their political programs.

Introduction: In some countries, family members are not involved in routine pediatric cancer psychosocial care although it is essential. This integrative review aims to determine the extent of research on family members of pediatric cancer patients in Turkey. Method: Four main keywords were used: parent/sibling/family, child/pediatric, cancer and psychosocial outcomes to search articles on PubMed, EKUAL, ULAKBİM, WOS databases (limited to 1997-2017). Among first 317 hits, 284 records were excluded. Of 33 eligible articles, 14 were excluded due to sample characteristics. Results: Research on psychosocial effects of pediatric cancer on family members is mostly descriptive and offers moderate-quality evidence. The reported psychosocial effects are (1) depression, anxiety, hopelessness, acceptance; (2) burden of care, quality of life, posttraumatic stress disorder; and (3) need for social support, information. Discussion: This study will contribute to the literature and help for the planning of protective psychosocial interventions for family members of children with cancer in Turkey.

e18033 Background: Patient navigation is seen to support and enable patient-oriented, optimal care both in palliative and in screening settings. However, the evidence remains inconclusive on what patient groups are best targeted by navigation and what may be improved by such a care model. Lung cancer patients are at particular risk for sub-optimal care because they face complex care trajectories due to severe and rapid disease progression and accompanying comorbidity. Methods: To develop a navigation model for lung cancer, we conducted a mixed-methods study to investigate who may be at risk of receiving sub-optimal care in the German health care setting. To capture the patient perspective a longitudinal qualitative component was included with patients (N = 20) assessed at three dtime points. In addition, a secondary data analysis of cancer registry data of a comprehensive cancer center was conducted and a repository of patient support offers gathered. Results of the study components were integrated to develop a patient-oriented navigation model. Results: Secondary data analysis showed that medical care functioned according to tumor board recommendations. Patient data revealed institutional barriers that conflict with individual needs and preferences. A lack of contact persons, information provision as well as bureaucratic difficulties were identified. Patients without a social network seem particularly in need for support. Identification of regional support offers shows that there are resources available to meet some of these needs. However, knowledge on such offers was not common among patients and caregivers. Navigators should provide practical support, give advice on social care issues and refer to existing support offers. Conclusions: Social networks crucial. Patients lack knowledge to use available resources. Navigation needs to be implemented within existing care structures to reach patients.

6515 Background: Cancer patients (pts) often do not receive evidence-based psychosocial care. We evaluate the effects of an implementation strategy we previously demonstrated feasible, which includes communication skill training for all physicians and nurses; four support visits at the centers by an improvement team to assist staff in identifying obstacles, finding solutions, and strengthening motivation; screening for distress and social needs; individualized pts' education with a referring nurse; use of a question prompt list. Methods: Multicenter incomplete SWD-RCT with 3 clusters of 5 centers each. Consecutive outpatients requiring medical treatment and diagnosed in the previous 2 months were eligible. Primary endpoint: difference of at least one of the 2 domains of HRQoL emotional or social functions, at 3 months from baseline, in pts of the centers that implemented the HQIS vs standard of care (SoC). Secondary endpoints include: patient mood, long-term effect, overall HRQoL. Analyses were performed using a beta-binomial regression model. Results: 762 pts were enrolled. At baseline, 41% showed high anxiety (HADS-A>7), and 88% had at least one psychosocial need. 299 health professionals attended 3-day courses (84% of all clinical staff). 647 pts (85%) were available for analysis. The 315 pts who received HQIS exhibited better quality of life for the emotional domain than those assigned to SOC (OR=1.115, p=0.016). Pts who showed the greatest improvement were the older (OR=1.003, p=0.035), had lower anxiety basal levels (OR=0.853, p<0.001), and social needs were met (OR=1.182, p<0.001). The difference was not significant for the social domain (OR=0.955, p=0.353). The HQIS’s long-term effect was confirmed for the emotional domain at 12 months. No effect on mood (HADS-D) and overall HRQoL was observed. Conclusions: To our knowledge this is the first RCT demonstrating the effectiveness of a psychosocial care implementation strategy on cancer patients’ emotional well-being. Clinical trial information: NCT03008993.
