Work engagement in oncology nurses is crucial for improving nurse practice and healthcare outcomes. The study aimed to define and understand work engagement from the perspective of experienced oncology clinical nurses. This qualitative descriptive study used purposive sampling to select 15 oncology nurses from a University Oncology Hospital in Türkiye. Participants had at least 3 years of experience and volunteered for the study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a "Nurse Data Form" and a "Semi-structured Interview Form." The analysis identified six themes and 12 sub-themes. These themes include a sense of engagement, personal resources, organizational resources, professional resources, elements specific to the nature of oncology, and areas that need improvement. Sub-themes indicate that facilitators of work engagement included altruism, job satisfaction, teamwork, and nursing competencies. Nurses may require assistance in caring for patients with high psychosocial demands, long-term care or repetitive hospitalizations. In conclusion, nurses emphasized the facilitating and challenging factors in work engagement in the oncology clinics. This study suggests that oncology nurses' work engagement can be enhanced by empowering them professionally, individually, and organizationally.
肿瘤护理人员的工作投入对于改善护理实践和医疗保健结果至关重要。该研究旨在从经验丰富的肿瘤临床护士的角度界定和理解工作投入。这项定性描述性研究采用目的抽样法，从土耳其一家大学肿瘤医院选取了15名肿瘤护理人员。参与者至少有3年工作经验并自愿参与该研究。通过使用“护士数据表”和“半结构化访谈表”进行面对面访谈来收集数据。分析确定了六个主题和12个子主题。这些主题包括投入感、个人资源、组织资源、专业资源、肿瘤学性质特有的要素以及需要改进的方面。子主题表明，工作投入的促进因素包括利他主义、工作满意度、团队合作和护理能力。护士在护理有高度心理社会需求、长期护理或反复住院的患者时可能需要帮助。总之，护士们强调了肿瘤门诊工作投入中的促进因素和挑战因素。本研究表明，通过在专业、个人和组织层面赋予肿瘤护理人员权力，可以提高他们的工作投入度。
