Brief Summary
This interventional clinical study aims to evaluate whether a structured emotional awareness and communication training program can reduce occupational burnout among oncology nurses. The study will address the following primary questions: Does the intervention lead to a significant increase in nurses' emotional awareness? Does it improve their communication skills in challenging patient and family interactions? Does it reduce their levels of professional burnout? Participants will be recruited from oncology nurses working at Ankara Etlik City Hospital who have been employed in the unit for at least six months and consent to participate. A total of 64 nurses will be randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=32), receiving four weekly face-to-face training sessions over four weeks, or a control group (n=32), receiving educational materials in written/digital format. Data will be collected using pre- and post-intervention assessments with the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Emotional Requirements Scale, and the Communication Skills Scale for Healthcare Professionals. All data will be anonymized and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the intervention in enhancing emotional awareness and communication skills and in reducing burnout among oncology nurses.
