摘要

Background

The daily work of oncologists is characterized by a variety of psychosocial and structural stressors. These affect the health of employees and, consequently, the quality of care provided to cancer patients. To date, there have been no specific recommendations for a sustainable reduction of stress in the oncology setting.

Objective

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of evidence-based interventions, recommendations from professional associations, and possible strategies for reducing stress and improving the wellbeing and mental health of physicians working in oncology.

Materials and methods

The work comprises a targeted literature search with a summary and classification of the results for clinical practice, including expert recommendations and own experiences of the Medical Organizational Psychology (MOP) working group.

Results

The findings indicate that individual interventions to reduce stress are not sufficient on their own. Occupational stress as a systemic problem also requires measures at the team and organizational levels. There is a considerable need for research into evidence-based approaches in this area.

Conclusion

The recommended strategies presented should be systematically integrated into the organizational structure in order to have a lasting positive impact on the wellbeing and health of physicians and, consequently, on patient care in oncology.
