Abstract:
This grounded theory study explored the processes and actions enacted by oncology nurses to enhance professional quality of life and the related meaning, facilitators, and barriers. Oncology nurses described a process by which they continually Reconcile Incongruencies . This process involves 4 categories: Accepting the Context of Oncology Nursing, Bettering the World, Pursuing a Calling, and Being Valued. External facilitators and barriers, self-driven actions to maintain, and consequences of professional quality of life were also revealed. The findings from this study offer an operational definition, a foundation for instrument development, and the consequences of oncology nurses' professional quality of life.
