Area of Science:

  • Oncology Nursing
  • Occupational Health Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Nursing cancer patients is recognized as a high-stress occupation.
  • Previous research has primarily been descriptive, lacking quantitative stress measurement.
  • Understanding stress in oncology nurses is crucial for targeted support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the general stress proneness of cancer nurses.
  • To identify characteristics of nurses experiencing the highest stress levels.
  • To explore the relationship between job satisfaction and anxiety in oncology nurses.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 65 registered nurses across six hospital wards.
  • Utilized the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory over an 8-week period.
  • Employed statistical analyses including ANOVA and Kendall tau correlation.

Main Results:

  • Oncology nurses' general anxiety proneness was comparable to the general working female population.
  • State anxiety levels were significantly elevated only during initial testing conditions.
  • Newly qualified nurses exhibited higher anxiety tendencies than experienced nurses.
  • Significant variations in anxiety levels were observed between different hospital wards.

Conclusions:

  • The study sample of cancer nurses did not exhibit overall high stress levels.
  • Job satisfaction was generally high, suggesting a potential 'stressfully satisfied' state.
  • Anxiety levels may be influenced by experience level and specific ward environments.
