“… Sun et al (2023) observed that nurses commonly encounter challenges in delivering sufficient supportive care to patients with GC and Buckley et al (2018) indicated that they need to keep learning to meet the evolving care requirements of patients with GC. In addition, previous studies have shown that patients with GC often experience emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and mania, with prevalence rates ranging from 40.6 to 66% ( Aquil et al, 2021 ; Suskin et al, 2022 ; Lee et al, 2023 ). Nurses caring for them are frequently exposed to these negative emotions over the long term, which can lead to psychological stress and adversely affect their mental health ( Edlund et al, 2023 ).…”

IntroductionNurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer experience significant job stress, which adversely impacts their mental health. Previous studies have indicated that perceived professional benefits serves as a protective factor for nurses’ mental health, and factors such as job stress, perceived social support and self-efficacy influence their perceived professional benefits. However, the relationships between these factors and the associated mechanisms have remained incompletely understood. This study explored the role of perceived social support and self-efficacy in job stress and perceived professional benefits among nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer.MethodsDuring June and July 2023, an investigation was conducted in Anhui Province. The Nurse Job Stressors Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Nurses’ Perceived Professional Benefits Questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale were administered to 311 nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer. A chained-mediated effect model was constructed and validated.ResultsJob stress negatively affected nurses’ perceived professional benefits. Perceived social support was a mediator in job stress and nurses’ perceived professional benefits, with a mediating effect value of −0.093. Additionally, perceived social support and self-efficacy functioned as sequential mediators in this relationship, with a mediating effect value of −0.032.ConclusionThis study unveils the influencing mechanisms of job stress on perceived professional benefits of nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer. It is essential for nursing managers to alleviate nurses’ job stress, provide sufficient and effective social support and improve their self-efficacy, ultimately enhancing their perceived professional benefits.

Introduction The assessment of quality of life (QoL) has become crucial for evaluating treatment effectiveness and prognosis in oncology, especially in the case of breast cancer, where patients are at a high risk of experiencing reduced QoL during active treatment. The objective of this study is to assess health-related quality of life and examine the socio-economic and clinical factors influencing it in breast cancer patients in the city of Marrakech, Morocco. Methods The study was conducted on 220 breast cancer patients at the Marrakech University Hospital in Morocco. Quality of life was evaluated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and the specific Breast Cancer questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-BR23). Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis between socio-economic and clinical factors with QoL subscales, and linear regression were performed to analyze the data. Results The results indicated that the mean score for overall health was 60.4%. Social functioning had the highest score (85.8%), while emotional functioning had the lowest (70.4%). Among the symptom scales, the most concerning were fatigue, loss of appetite, pain, and financial difficulties. For QLQ-BR-23, the future perspective was the most affected domain (25.30%), as well as body image (13.79%). Symptom scale scores ranged from 20.4% to 61.6%, with the most concerning symptom being systemic treatment of side effects. The results showed that age (p= 0.011, β= -0.142), disease duration (p = 0.000, β= 0.624), and monthly income (p = 0.000, Β= 0.233) significantly influenced quality of life. Body image was significantly associated with marital status (p= 0.049, β= -0.140) and type of surgery (p = 0.031, β= -0.149). Sexual pleasure was correlated with marital status (p = 0.037, β= 0.191) and radiotherapy treatment (p = 0.021, β= -0.223). Conclusion The study revealed that patients have concerns related to financial difficulties while coping with symptoms associated with their illness. Age, disease duration, and monthly income were found to be the factors influencing the quality of life. Furthermore, body image was affected, as was emotional well-being, emphasizing the importance of addressing psychological aspects in their care by healthcare professionals.
