Survey
Mapping Psychosocial Care in Paediatric Oncology Across Europe
We invite paediatric oncology hospitals across Europe to participate in a survey mapping how psychosocial care is organised and delivered for children and young people with cancer and their families.
This survey is part of the EU co-funded ONCOME and IMPACT-EU projects. Together, these projects aim to develop a comprehensive picture of psychosocial care in paediatric oncology across Europe, identify differences and inequalities in care provision, and help inform future improvements in psychosocial care.
What do we mean by psychosocial care?
For this survey, psychosocial care refers to structured care provided by professionals with recognised training in psychosocial disciplines, such as:
- Psychology
- Neuropsychology
- Social work
- Child life services
- Other recognised psychosocial care professions
What are we mapping?
The survey aims to understand what psychosocial care is available at paediatric oncology hospitals, how it is organised, and how it is delivered.
This includes information such as:
- What types of psychosocial services and interventions are provided
- Staffing, resources and organizational structures
- Barriers and facilitators to providing psychosocial care
Who should complete the survey?
Ideally, the psychosocial care team at each paediatric oncology site should complete the survey jointly, providing one response per hospital/site.
The survey takes approximately 20–30 minutes to complete. The survey is hosted on a secure and anonymous online platform.
If needed, you may use your browser's built-in Google Translate function to translate the survey into your preferred language.

Why participate?
Your contribution will help us to:
- Create a comprehensive overview of psychosocial care provision across Europe
- Identify strengths and gaps in current psychosocial care
- Understand differences in the organisation and availability of services
- Identify inequalities in access to psychosocial care
- Highlight opportunities for improving psychosocial care for children and families
- Support future initiatives aimed at promoting high-quality, equitable psychosocial care across Europe
Please help us reach paediatric oncology hospitals across Europe
We hope to collect information from as many paediatric oncology hospitals as possible across Europe.
If you are involved in psychosocial care, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share this survey with colleagues at other paediatric oncology centres in your country.
The more hospitals that participate, the more comprehensive and representative our understanding of psychosocial care across Europe will be.
