| Abstract |
Romania still has to adapt and develop psychosocial assessment protocols which would allow standardized screening for the sixth vital sign in cancer patients, namely distress and quality of life. The present study screens for the psychosocial and communication needs of cancer outpatients in palliative care and in rehabilitation. These data are also compared with those obtained from a sample of cancer inpatients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 April 2013.
All research outputs
#15,267,294
of 22,703,044 outputs
Outputs from Supportive Care in Cancer
#3,055
of 4,530 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#112,486
of 178,807 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Supportive Care in Cancer
#26
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,703,044 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,530 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 178,807 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
