What this trial studies
This study evaluates the impact of remote psychological support courses designed for oncology nurses who are experiencing high levels of stress due to their demanding roles and the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic. The intervention aims to provide guided relaxation and meditation techniques to enhance the psychological well-being of nurses, thereby improving their capacity to support cancer patients. Participants will engage in a flexible, unstructured course that accommodates their clinical schedules, allowing them to receive necessary psychological support without the burden of continuous attendance.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are oncology nurses over 20 years old currently working in clinical practice.
Not a fit: Patients who have already registered for advanced oncology nursing courses or those unwilling to commit to a full year of training may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the mental health and job satisfaction of oncology nurses, leading to better patient care.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific intervention focusing on remote psychological support for oncology nurses is relatively novel.
