Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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
