Healthcare Providers' Attitudes Toward Oncology Patients With Mental Disorders
Healthcare Providers' Attitudes Toward Oncology Patients With Mental Disorders: A Multicentre Mixed-Method Design Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
ONCO-MinD is a multicentre, cross-sectional, non-interventional mixed-method study aimed at investigating healthcare providers' attitudes towards oncology patients with mental disorders in Italian cancer centres. The study will assess levels of mental health-related stigma among healthcare professionals and explore factors associated with these attitudes, including professional background, clinical setting, experience, and previous exposure to mental health conditions. Quantitative survey data collected using the Italian version of the Opening Minds Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC) will be integrated with qualitative findings from semi-structured interviews to provide a comprehensive understanding of how stigma may influence clinical relationships, decision-making processes, and equity of cancer care.
