Brief summary
In the first-year project of this study, oncology nurses have reported experiencing massive stress, insufficient communication ability, and the need for communication-related training. 70% of them had moderate or higher severity of workload, fatigue, and psychological distress (at the measure point) before being provided with Basic Remote Psychological Support Course (BRPSC). A month after BRPSC, some oncology nurses have indicated/affirmed the benefits of undergoing the comprehensive psycho oncology education training courses. Thus, the second- and third-year continuation projects are focused on the development and delivery of Multi-Psychological Empowerment Courses (MPEC) for oncology nurses

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The change in Physical and Psychological Symptoms | 5 time points: Time 1 (before the course) ; after the course starts, Time 2: 4th weeks ; Time3: 8th weeks；Time 4:12th weeks；Time 5(back to work 1 month) | The change in oncology nurses' physical and psychological state will be measured by physical and psychological state survey. It use Numerical Rating Scale(VRS) 0-10. It is a 11 Point Likert Scale (e. g. 0 is no pain; 10 is unbearable pain). |

It measures the subjective perception of oncology nurses about their workload in the past week, with scores ranging from 0 to 10.The higher the score, the greater the workload of the oncology nurses. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Efferson Empathy Scale | 5 time points: Time 1 (before the course) ; after the course starts, Time 2: 4th weeks ; Time3: 8th weeks；Time 4:12th weeks；Time 5(back to work 1 month) | Oncology nurses' empathy were measured by Efferson Empathy Scale. It is a 7 Liker scale(1-7),higher scores means someone have more empathy. |
| Communication ability scale | 5 time points: Time 1 (before the course) ; after the course starts, Time 2: 4th weeks ; Time3: 8th weeks；Time 4:12th weeks；Time 5(back to work 1 month) | Oncology nurses' communication skills were measured by communication ability scale.It is a 5 Liker scale(1-5),higher scores represent better communication skills. |
| Burnout Inventory survey | 5 time points: Time 1 (before the course) ; after the course starts, Time 2: 4th weeks ; Time3: 8th weeks；Time 4:12th weeks；Time 5(back to work 1 month) | Oncology nurses' burnout will be measured by Burnout Inventory survey.It is a 7 Liker scale(0-6),higher scores represent high level burnout . |
| Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-Being （FACIT-Sp） | 5 time points: Time 1 (before the course) ; after the course starts, Time 2: 4th weeks ; Time3: 8th weeks；Time 4:12th weeks；Time 5(back to work 1 month) | Oncology nurses' spiritual well-being were measured by FACIT-Sp.It is a 5 Liker scale(0-4),higher scores represent better well-being. |
| Self efficacy scale (GSES) | 5 time points: Time 1 (before the course) ; after the course starts, Time 2: 4th weeks ; Time3: 8th weeks；Time 4:12th weeks；Time 5(back to work 1 month) | Oncology nurses' self-efficacy were measured by self efficacy scale. There are 10 questions about the level of confidence in these situations. It's a 4 point (1-4),higher the score means the more confident you have. There is also 11 point (0-10) scale that higher the score means the more confident you are in caring for patients. |
