First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

This study tests whether a 4-week emotional awareness and communication training program can reduce burnout in oncology nurses. 64 nurses will be randomly assigned to either the training or receive educational materials. Researchers will measure changes in burnout, compassion fatigue, and communication skills before and after the program.
