Summary:
Cancer is a disease that causes the most deaths worldwide and is challenging for patients
and caregivers both physically and psychosocially. Physicians and nurses working in
oncology clinics perform a demanding profession providing compassionate care and
treatment to patients struggling with life-threatening diseases. The emotional cost of
caring for patients diagnosed with cancer can lead to compassion fatigue, burnout, and
decreased psychological well-being among healthcare professionals. For this reason, this
research is planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of Mindfulness
meditation practice on compassion fatigue, burnout, and psychological well-being in
physicians and nurses working in oncology units.
