In this paper an experience of facilitating a weekly support group for nursing staff on an oncology ward is described. A brief overview of burnout among oncology nurses is followed by a description of the processes by which the support group was established.
Some of the functions that the group has come to provide and recurring themes are highlighted along with a more theoretical understanding of the nature of groups within institutions.
Support groups can help prevent isolation and demoralisation.
