Official title
The Effects of Multi-Psycho-Oncology Care Courses Through Remote Psychological Support, Emotional Awareness Situation Videos and Empathic Concern Intervention on Physical and Psychological Status, Self-Efficacy and Empathy in Oncology Nurses
Overview
When the patient's mood has not yet reached a moderate to high severity level, psychological support is usually provided by the clinical nurses. However, the result of past research showed that the needs of patients and their caregivers were not satisfied with the psychological level. Scholars pointed out that it may be related to factors such as excessive clinical workload or insufficient psychological support and care capacity. In addition, under the influence of COVID-19 in the past two years, medical staff are facing more physical and mental pressure. Oncology nurses have a heavy workload and are affected by the COVID 19 epidemic, which reflects that nurses need psychological support. Therefore, this study intends to reduce stress through remote physical and mental support activities, and use the Internet to intervene in guided relaxation and meditation. Considering the scheduling of clinical nurses, a remote and unstructured course content that does not require continuity will be selected, and then advanced to provide the empathetic care skills of oncology nurses.
