Survivors and families of childhood and adolescent cancer reported psychosocial service needs. However, what should be the service outcomes have not been yet paid attention. We examined service providers’ perceptions of the outcomes of psychosocial services for survivors and families of childhood and adolescent cancer. We conducted in-depth interviews with 19 service providers. First, service providers perceived the alleviating financial burden, alleviating stress and promoting emotional well-being, promoting social adjustments, decreasing parents’ stress and anxiety, strengthening family functioning, and promoting holistic development as an individual-level outcome. Second, service providers perceived increasing organization’s understanding of service users’ needs, establishing professional identity, and increasing psychosocial services as an organizational-level outcome. Third, service providers perceived addressing stereotypes and prejudice towards cancer survivors, promoting positive attitudes towards return-to-social life, increasing awareness of psychosocial support, and increasing trusts towards service organization as a community-level outcome. This study suggests that there is a need for developing psychosocial services based on psychosocial risks and cancer survivorship trajectories of survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer and developing outcome indexes and validated measurements for services.
