| Sumario: | Oncology nurses and nurse practitioners often provide initial (prior to transition of care to a psychiatric provider) or maintenance assessment of and treatment for patients with depressed mood. Research informing oncology nurses and nurse practitioners on the assessment, differential diagnoses development, and treatment of depressed mood is limited.
