NCT ID NCT07175103
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a four-week educational program designed to help pediatric oncology nurses recognize stress, build coping skills, and improve resilience. Eighty nurses from Jordan will either take the self-care program or a general skills course. Researchers will measure burnout, job satisfaction, and missed care before and after the program to see if it helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nurses' Stress Self-Care Educational Program (NSSCEP)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could help reduce burnout and improve well-being for nurses caring for children with cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants. The results may not apply to all nurses or hospitals, and the program may not reduce burnout more than general training.
