Summary

This study tests whether four one-hour supervision sessions with a psycho-oncologist can help oncology and hematology clinicians handle difficult patient interactions. The 62 participants are doctors or nurses who will discuss challenging cases and reflect on their feelings. The goal is to see if this support improves their ability to think about their work and reduces negative feelings toward patients.
