Over the last few years, a nationwide voluntary certification system for cancer centres has been established in Germany. To qualify for certification, cancer centres must provide psycho-oncological care to every patient who needs it. The aim of this study was to find out how many patients have been treated by a psycho-oncologist in the certified centres.
All cancer centres in Germany that were re-certified in 2010 provided data documenting how many patients with primary cancer received at least 30 min of psycho-oncological consultation in 2009.
Data from n = 456 certified cancer centres were available. In the centres, a total of 36,165 patients were seen by a psycho-oncologist for at least 30 min, representing 37.3% of all patients in the centres. The highest percentage of patients who received psycho-oncological care was found in breast cancer centres (66.7%), and the lowest in prostate cancer centres (6.8%). Half of the patients (50.0%) in gynaecological cancer centres, 37.7% in colon cancer centres and 25.4% in lung cancer centres received psycho-oncological care.
Compared with non-certified centres, the proportion of patients receiving psycho-oncological care in certified cancer centres has increased.
在过去的几年中，德国建立了一个全国性的癌症中心自愿认证体系。为了获得认证，癌症中心必须为每一位需要的患者提供心理肿瘤学护理。本研究的目的是了解有多少患者在认证中心接受了心理肿瘤学家的治疗。
2010 年重新认证的所有德国癌症中心都提供了数据，记录了 2009 年有多少原发性癌症患者接受了至少 30 分钟的心理肿瘤学咨询。
提供了来自 n = 456 个认证癌症中心的数据。在这些中心，共有 36165 名患者接受了至少 30 分钟的心理肿瘤学家治疗，占中心所有患者的 37.3%。接受心理肿瘤学治疗的患者比例最高的是乳腺癌中心（66.7%），前列腺癌中心最低（6.8%）。妇科癌症中心有一半（50.0%）的患者、结肠癌症中心的 37.7%和肺癌中心的 25.4%接受了心理肿瘤学护理。
与未认证中心相比，认证癌症中心接受心理肿瘤学治疗的患者比例有所增加。
