Methods: To study the discussed issue, we analyzed six full-text research papers which were searchable by EBSCO and met all required criteria (words included in the abstract, English publication, size of the study group). Results: Exposure to chronic occupational stress may lead to developing burnout syndrome. Social service professionals are especially affected as they are expected to be emotionally engaged in their jobs, which particularly applies to such health care professionals as nurses, psychologists, police officers and social workers. Because of occupational burnout work efficiency may deteriorate. Oncology nurses are among the most affected nurse groups in terms of exposure to the risk of burnout. Conclusions: Oncology nurses as well as other oncology workers exhibit an increased risk and a higher grade of burnout. Psychological training sessions are available which effectively prevent and alleviate the effects of burnout.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Stress and burnout among oncology nurses: review study}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/108501/PDF/PPB%204-18%2012-Domagala.pdf}, doi={10.24425/124346}, keywords={psychological stress, burnout, cancer nurses, oncology nurses}, }
