The paper explains the importance of the role of social workers in multidisciplinary teams providing continuous care for oncologic patients. Abroad, oncology social workers are members of these teams. The authors propose adopting this practice and involving social workers in oncology treatment in Slovakia since this approach is currently missing. An information guide (brochure) is proposed to raise awareness of the social preventive measures, social treatment, and social patient care, to explain and justify the social risk aspects and consequences of cancer, and to address it in terms of social work. In terms of the multidisciplinary approach, the paper empirically examines the attitudes of oncologists and oncology nurses towards such a brochure. The results indicate that the respondents have a positive attitude to the brochure and to social care for cancer patients.

ExCEL in Social Work : Excellence in Cancer Education & Leadership was a multi-year National Cancer Institute (NCI)-funded grant for the development and implementation of an innovative educational program for oncology social workers. The program’s curriculum focused upon six core competencies of psychosocial-spiritual support necessary to meet the standard of care recommended by the 2008 Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report: Cancer Care for the Whole Patient: Meeting Psychosocial Health Needs. The curriculum was delivered through a collaborative partnership between the City of Hope National Medical Center and the two leading professional organizations devoted exclusively to representing oncology social workers - the Association of Oncology Social Work and the Association of Pediatric Oncology Social Workers. Initial findings support the feasibility and acceptability of this tailored leadership skills-building program for participating oncology social workers.
