The effect of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program on the pediatric hematology: Oncology nurses' professional quality of life and perceived stress level

Abstract

It is important to improve the professional life quality and reduce the stress level of pediatric hematology-oncology nurses. What strategies pediatric oncology nurses choose to cope with stress or difficult situations and which strategies are effective is gray in the literature. In our study, it was aimed to apply a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program to pediatric hematology-oncology nurses and to evaluate the effect on nurses' professional quality of life and perceived stress level.
