Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, controlled, three-arm education trial conducted with nurses who work with oncology patients in Istanbul. Participants are randomized to a simulation-based psychosocial care skills development program, a classical (lecture/practice) psychosocial care training, or a no-training control group. Outcomes are measured with validated self-report tools including a Psychosocial Care Competence Self-Assessment Scale and the Professional Quality of Life Scale, collected before and after the intervention; the simulation arm also completes simulation-specific satisfaction and design scales. The study aims to compare post-training competence, compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction across the three groups.
