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

Nurses' Stress Self-Care Educational Program (NSSCEP)
BehavioralA control intervention consisting of four 1-hour sessions over one month, focusing on general technical skills relevant to pediatric oncology nursing (e.g., procedural updates, equipment use). The program does not include stress management content. Participants complete weekly checklists and pre- and post-intervention surveys to measure burnout and stress levels.
General Technical Skills Program
Other interventionA control program with four 1-hour sessions over one month, focusing on technical skills (e.g., procedural updates, equipment use) without stress management content. Includes weekly checklists and pre/post surveys to measure burnout and stress.

Primary outcomes
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.
