On October 08, 2025, Ashraf Jehad Abuejheisheh published a new study in “Palliative Care and Social Practice” titled “The role of workplace support systems in reducing anxiety among cancer-diagnosed workers across disciplines in Jordanian oncology settings”. This study aims to examine the perceptions among cancer-diagnosed workers across disciplines of workplace support systems in alleviating anxiety among employees with cancer in oncology settings in Jordan. Pearson correlation was utilized to assess the relationship between anxiety disorders and variables of age and duration of diagnosis with cancer. The results demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with age (r = 0.49, p = 0.037) and duration of diagnosis (r = 0.61, p = 0.027). The study highlights the importance of workplace support systems in reducing anxiety among workers with cancer in Jordan, highlighting the need for structured and sustainable interventions to improve their well-being. This study highlights the importance of investing in workplace support programs for oncology workers with cancer, thereby raising job satisfaction, reducing burnout, and improving patient-care outcomes.
