{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Oncology nurses support cancer patients in meeting their self-care needs, often neglecting their own emotions and self-care needs. This study aims to investigate the variations in the five facets of holistic mindfulness among Italian oncology nurses based on gender, work experience in oncology, and shift work.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2023 amongst all registered nurses who were employed in an oncology setting and working in Italy.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>There were no significant differences in all five facets of holistic mindfulness (p ≥ 0.05) according to gender, work experience in the oncology field, and shift work.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Could holistic mindfulness be defined as an intrinsic individual characteristic? Surely, more insights will be necessary to better define the holistic trend in oncology nursing.
