Summary

This study tests whether oncology nurses who practice mindful hand hygiene—using positive affirmations and breathing exercises while washing hands—can increase their self-compassion, self-care perception, and mindful awareness. About 44 nurses with at least one year of oncology experience will take part. The goal is to see if this simple daily habit can support the emotional well-being of those caring for cancer patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A behavioral intervention combining positive affirmations, breathing exercises, and moment-focused awareness during hand hygiene routines.
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple practice could offer a low-cost way to improve emotional well-being and self-care among oncology nurses.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, and results may not generalize. Benefits may be modest, and the practice might not fit all nurses' routines.
