Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Levels of Burnout Among Oncology Nurses: A Systematic Review.

CONCLUSIONS: Oncology nurses present high levels of EE and of reduced PA. A large proportion of these nurses are at risk of developing burnout. Age, work experience, workload, and communication skills are among the factors that may influence development of the syndrome. 
.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Programs should be developed to identify interventions that would reduce EE and enhance feelings of PA. In addition, risk factors and protective measures should be studied more comprehensively.
