Healthcare professionals in pediatric oncology are at a high risk of burnout. Art therapy is being increasingly recognized as a potential tool for reducing stress and improving emotional well-being. The Art-Out pilot project aimed at nursing staff was initiated in a pediatric oncology unit. The staff members participating in the project were guided in a team-building course integrated with art and clay therapy, aiming to reduce burnout levels, improve emotional climate, and strengthen resilience. Methods: Burnout levels were assessed through the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), alexithymia was measured with the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), and emotional regulation difficulties were evaluated through the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS); these tests were assessed before (T0) and after (T1) the team-building course (Art-Out project). Results: Data analysis showed a significant reduction in burnout, alexithymia, and emotional dysregulation, highlighting the positive impact of this approach in improving team dynamics and emotional management. Conclusions: Our study confirms the high risk of burnout, alexithymia, and emotional dysregulation among pediatric oncology healthcare workers, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to prevent and mitigate these risks.
儿科肿瘤领域的医护人员面临较高的职业倦怠风险。艺术疗法正日益被视为缓解压力、改善情绪健康的潜在工具。一项针对护理人员的"艺术外展"试点项目在儿科肿瘤科启动。参与项目的医护人员接受了融合艺术与陶艺治疗的团队建设课程指导，旨在降低职业倦怠水平、改善情绪氛围并增强心理韧性。研究方法：通过马斯拉赫职业倦怠量表评估倦怠程度，采用多伦多述情障碍量表测量述情障碍，运用情绪调节困难量表评估情绪调节能力；这些测试分别在团队建设课程（艺术外展项目）开始前和结束后进行。研究结果：数据分析显示职业倦怠、述情障碍和情绪失调均显著降低，凸显了该方法在改善团队动态和情绪管理方面的积极影响。研究结论：本研究证实儿科肿瘤医护人员存在较高的职业倦怠、述情障碍和情绪失调风险，强调需要采取针对性干预措施来预防和减轻这些风险。
