Abstract:
When experiencing burnout, the emotional and physical health of nurses deteriorates, the quality of work decreases, and patient dissatisfaction increases. Nurses working in oncology units, due to the nature of their specialty, face those with a cancer diagnosis, which causes a lot of fear and uncertainty. The aim of the study is to reveal the burnout experienced by nurses working in oncology departments. The Copenhagen Burnout Questionnaire was used to implement the quantitative study. The results of the study revealed that nurses working in oncology departments had the strongest personal and work-related burnout. The most common factors leading to burnout were lack of feedback from patients and decreased energy. The relationships between demographic indicators and burnout components were used to analyze the research results.
