About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Nurses' Stress Self-Care Educational Program (NSSCEP) can reduce burnout and occupational stress in Jordanian pediatric oncology nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does NSSCEP reduce symptoms of burnout in pediatric oncology nurses? 2. Does NSSCEP improve stress management skills among pediatric oncology nurses? Researchers will compare nurses participating in the NSSCEP to a control group receiving a general technical skills program to see if NSSCEP reduces burnout and improves stress management.

Participants will:

1. Attend four educational sessions over one month, focusing on stress recognition, coping strategies, and resilience-building techniques 2. Complete weekly checklists to track their application of stress management skills 3. Participate in pre- and post-intervention surveys to assess burnout and stress levels

Reduction in Burnout Symptoms, improve Job satisfaction and missed nursing care

This study evaluates the Nurses' Stress Self-Care Educational Program (NSSCEP) for Jordanian pediatric oncology nurses. The four-week program includes workshops on stress management, mindfulness, and coping strategies to reduce burnout and enhance well-being. Burnout, job satisfaction, and missed nursing care are assessed using validated tools: Professional Quality of Life Scale, Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale, and MISSCARE Survey. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. The study aims to support nurse mental health and improve care quality in Jordanian hospitals.

Time frame
Pre-intervention (baseline) and post-intervention (at 4 weeks, following completion of the educational sessions).
