Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that burnout among oncology nurses is a significant result of the challenging and continuously high-stress work environment. It has been suggest-ed that professionals could be emotionally affected by young age of children receiving chem-otherapy, ethical decision making, observing the continuous suffering of children during or after chemotherapy. The main aim of this article is to examine the level of compassion fatigue, satisfaction and burnout experiences of oncology nurses when providing care to pediatric patients during chemotherapy. This article uses the qualitative descriptive (QD) research where it compares qualitative research with other types of qualitative methods. The article concluded that there is a severe shortage in Saudi nurses who works with pediatric oncology settings and highlights the importance to encourage Saudi nurses to work in specialized area with pediatric oncology. The achieved numerical statistical results have proven that success rates in treating patients at risk are low by about 85% and patients with moderate-risk conditions are about 7%. For patients with high-risk cases, the survival rate for a 3-year-old is 66%, and a 5-year-old is 60%. From the perspective of future actions, it is recommended to conduct in-depth research in brain tumors, retinal tumors, and kidney tumors that include Wilma tumor, neuroma, muscle cancer, soft muscle tissue tumors, germ cell tumors, liver tumors, and bone tumors including bone cancer, cancer Ewing, tissue disorders, such as histiocytosis of Langerhans cells and other rare tumors. It is highly preferred that patients be referred to hos-pitals before undergoing any major surgery or treatment, in order to present a comprehensive treatment plan to patients and their families, which provides the best opportunity for treat-ment..
