Fading connections: A phenomenological study of oncology nurses’ experiences of Missed Nursing Care during an infectious disease outbreak

When human and professional relationships are compromised, the essence of nursing care is lost, and it risks being reduced to a mechanical, task-focused practice. The experiences of oncology nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic reveal significant gaps in nursing care that stem from professional, relational, and systemic challenges. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving nurse well-being and patient outcomes in future healthcare crises.

Abstract

When human and professional relationships are compromised, the essence of nursing care is lost, and it risks being reduced to a mechanical, task-focused practice. The experiences of oncology nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic reveal significant gaps in nursing care that stem from professional, relational, and systemic challenges. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving nurse well-being and patient outcomes in future healthcare crises.
