Objective: To evaluate the professional quality of life (ProQOL) of oncology nurses, analyze its current status and influencing factors, and thereby provide a scientific basis for improving nurses’ ProQOL. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 202 oncology nurses from multiple general hospitals in Guangdong Province using a general information questionnaire, Professional Quality of Life Scale, and Short Form of Self-Compassion Scale. Results: The raw scores of compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout (BO), and secondary trauma stress (STS) in the ProQOL of oncology nurses were (32.88±8.34), (23.59±6.25), and (21.44±7.30), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the main factors affecting nurses’ ProQOL included job environment satisfaction, job income satisfaction, and self-compassion. Conclusion: The overall ProQOL of oncology nurses is at a moderate level. Nursing managers and nurses themselves need to pay attention to the cultivation of self-compassion ability. In addition, medical institutions should improve the working environment, establish a reasonable scheduling and salary distribution system, etc., to create a good organizational atmosphere.
