Summary

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.
