| Abstract |
The International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) has championed the need for quality care to incorporate attention to the psychosocial concerns of cancer patients. Widespread international endorsement of distress as the '6th vital sign' is a major step towards improving access to psychosocial care and reducing the isolation and stigma experienced by many affected by cancer. However, the integration of psychosocial care into routine clinical practice also requires active multidisciplinary engagement, and demonstration that evidence-based psychosocial interventions are effective and feasible to deliver in practice. Clinical practice guidelines are valuable in this context. Typically, they provide a synthesis and evaluation of existing evidence, critically appraised by stakeholders and clinicians, presented in a way which allows for translation of research evidence into practice. Such guidelines are also tools for informing and educating those who do not have psychosocial expertise, potentially increasing the status of psycho-oncology. This paper describes the background to the development of psychosocial clinical practice guidelines in Australia as a means of understanding the factors that can underpin the evolution of attitudes and integration of psychosocial care in oncology, and considers the current status of psychosocial care in Australia and internationally, including challenges for the future.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 10 August 2015.
All research outputs
#14,600,874
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Psycho-Oncology
#1,496
of 2,512 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#132,467
of 279,938 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psycho-Oncology
#28
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,512 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% 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 279,938 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
