Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cancer is a disease that causes the most deaths worldwide and is challenging for patients and caregivers both physically and psychosocially. Physicians and nurses working in oncology clinics perform a demanding profession providing compassionate care and treatment to patients struggling with life-threatening diseases. The emotional cost of caring for patients diagnosed with cancer can lead to compassion fatigue, burnout, and decreased psychological well-being among healthcare professionals. For this reason, this research is planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of Mindfulness meditation practice on compassion fatigue, burnout, and psychological well-being in physicians and nurses working in oncology units.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mindfulness Meditation Group

During the first meeting, before the planned training, data will be collected face to face using the personal information form, Compassion Fatigue Brief Scale, Maslach Burnout Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale. Physicians and nurses in the intervention group were given group counseling sessions by the researcher, in groups of 10-15 people, for 20 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. An online meditation practice will be provided for a long time. At the end of the mindfulness meditation application (in the 8th week) and four weeks after the end of the application (in the 12th week) for follow-up purposes, data will be collected through an online survey for physicians and nurses using Compassion Fatigue Brief Scale, Maslach Burnout Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindfulness Meditation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness Meditation application will be implemented online by the researcher in 20-minute group sessions once a week for 8 weeks. Participants will be asked to provide a quiet, ventilated, dimly lit environment for the practice. The researcher will start the application when the participants take their places as they feel comfortable. In the first stage, the researcher will teach physicians and nurses to take deep diaphragmatic breaths through the nose and out through the mouth.

Control Group

During the first meeting, data will be collected face to face using the personal information form, MY-KÖ, MTÖ and PİÖÖ. In the 8th and 12th weeks of the research, the data will be re-administered to the physicians and nurses in the control group via an online survey using Compassion Fatigue Brief Scale, Maslach Burnout Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale. After the implementation process of the research is completed, mindfulness meditation application will be applied online once to the physicians and nurses in the control group.
