Distress Thermometer One of the most commonly used tools is the Distress Thermometer (DT). The NCCN has advocated for the DT to be used to assess distress in cancer patients. The DT is a self-report tool that includes an overall distress rating (0-10) over the past week and a problem list where NCCN DISTRESS THERMOMETER PROBLEM LIST Please indicate if any of the following has been a problem for you in the past week including today.

The NCCN Distress Management Panel developed the DT, a now well-known tool for initial screening, using 0 (no distress) to 10 (extreme distress), which is similar to the successful rating scale used to measure pain The evaluation and treatment model expressed in the NCCN Distress Management Guidelines recommends that each new patient be rapidly assessed in the office or clinic waiting room for evidence of distress using a brief screening tool (the Distress Thermometer and Problem List) presented in Figure 1 (see page 369)
A study was conducted to describe our group's experience using the NCCN Distress Thermometer in an outpatient breast cancer clinic. The NCCN Distress Thermometer was administered to patients attending the breast cancer clinic at Huntsman Cancer Institute during a 4-month period. Effects of disease, treatment, and demographic variables on distress level were analyzed Over a HIPAA-secure videoconference call, a cancer practice-based registered nurse assessed the patient using the NCCN Distress Thermometer (DT), amended for the HNC population to include issues such as jaw swelling and speech difficulties. The nurse identified areas of distress, then led patients in a discussion to elucidate specific concerns psychosocial and other health services based on distress screening. Our understanding of distress has been influenced most profoundly in the past years by the implementation of the distress thermometer (DT). This instrument is the NCCN-recommended screening tool.

statistically significant difference in individual distress scores. The NCCN Distress Thermometer facilitated the identification, assessment, and treatment of distress in ambulatory oncology patients. As a result of this project, the NCCN Distress Management clinical practice guidelines have been formally integrated into routine nursing. by 2015. As a result, many treatment centers have started using tools such as the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer (DT) in daily practice. The DT is frequently used due to its utility, ease of use, and brevity [7,9]. In a study of 4664 cancer patients in 55 cancer centers in North America, 46% of patients were. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has recommended that oncology patients be routinely assessed for distress (NCCN., 2003, NCCN, 2007). Short screening measures have gained substantial support, in particular the single item measure of distress, the Distress Thermometer (DT) (Mitchell, 2007) Screening for distress should begin at the point of first contact with the patient, usually at diagnosis. A distress thermometer allows nurses to very quickly identify issues in most patients; however, a quick assessment does have its drawbacks. A distress thermometer can only indicate tha Distress is commonly experienced by people with cancer.
