The workplace and the context in which oncology nurses work are unique due to the complex and dynamic nature of cancer care. Nurses who care for cancer patients are exposed to varying degrees of psychological pressure. The present study was conducted to explore oncology nurses' perceptions regarding mental health in the workplace.
This study was conducted in 2018-2019. The participants were recruited through purposive sampling from eight educational specialty cancer treatment centers in Iran. Data were collected through individual semistructured interviews and analyzed using the conventional qualitative content analysis method. The Consolidated criteria for Reporting Qualitative research (COREQ) checklist was used to document the report of the study.
The extracted concepts were classified into three main categories and 17 subcategories. The main categories included attention to nurses' occupational stress-provoking factors, attention to emotional/psychological responses in the workplace, and healthy mental atmosphere in the workplace.
The findings indicate that oncology nurses need to be supported to enhance their mental health in the workplace. The findings of this study could help policymakers and nurse managers to understand the importance of improving the mental health of nurses in cancer care. In this regard, it is essential to make the necessary plans and scientific decisions to design and provide strategies to alleviate workplace problems and improve nurses' mental health.
由于癌症护理的复杂性和动态性，肿瘤护士的工作场所及工作环境具有独特性。护理癌症患者的护士会面临不同程度的心理压力。本研究旨在探讨肿瘤护士对工作场所心理健康的看法。
本研究于2018 - 2019年进行。通过目的抽样从伊朗八个教育专业癌症治疗中心招募参与者。通过个人半结构化访谈收集数据，并使用传统定性内容分析法进行分析。采用定性研究报告统一标准（COREQ）清单记录研究报告。
提取的概念分为三个主要类别和17个子类别。主要类别包括关注护士的职业压力诱发因素、关注工作场所的情绪/心理反应以及工作场所的健康心理氛围。
研究结果表明，需要支持肿瘤护士在工作场所增强心理健康。本研究结果可帮助政策制定者和护士管理者理解改善癌症护理中护士心理健康的重要性。在这方面，制定必要计划并做出科学决策以设计和提供减轻工作场所问题及改善护士心理健康的策略至关重要。
