Can a Four-Hour workshop and an app ease the strain on cancer nurses?
NCT ID NCT06789926
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Oncology nurses face high rates of emotional distress and burnout. Researchers at National Taiwan University Hospital are testing whether a multimedia psychological support platform combined with a four-hour acceptance and commitment therapy workshop can improve nurses' psychological flexibility and reduce fatigue. About 100 oncology nurses will take part, and the team will measure changes using questionnaires on work-related resilience and tiredness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Acceptance and commitment therapy workshops plus a multimedia psychological support platform
- What this could lead to
- If the approach helps, hospitals could offer oncology nurses a low-cost way to build psychological resilience and reduce burnout and fatigue.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and relies on self-reported questionnaires, so improvements may reflect expectations rather than lasting change. A four-hour workshop may not be enough to shift habits built over years of stressful work.
