a stressor. Following the team-building intervention, participants showed a significant increase in job satisfaction (p<.05), accompanied by non-significant reductions in emotional exhaustion and perceived stress, indicating a positive though preliminary impact. Conclusion: This study confirms that burnout and stress are prevalent among junior staff and ROs. Workplace culture—informal feedback and team cohesion— emerges as a key factor influencing emotional well- being. The team-building intervention improved job satisfaction, supporting the potential value of relational and experiential strategies to promote resilience. However, the small sample size and short follow-up limit generalizability. Future research should integrate longitudinal structured communication and support programs to sustain well-being across multidisciplinary radiotherapy teams. References: 1.

At baseline, emotional exhaustion strongly correlated with perceived stress (p < .001) and depersonalization (p < .001), confirming a consistent burnout pattern. Junior professionals reported significantly higher emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and perceived stress than senior staff (figures 1 and 2). Radiation oncologists exhibited higher emotional exhaustion and stress than other roles (p<.05). Men showed greater depersonalization than women (p < .005). Fear of informal feedback correlated positively with both passive and active feedback exposure, suggesting that workplace communication may act as
