Purpose: The aims of this study were to identify specific burnout profiles among healthcare workers caring for young cancer patients and to investigate their specificities in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, stress, coping mechanisms, and perceived rewards.
Methods: A total of 262 French healthcare professionals working with young cancer patients completed the study protocol (sociodemographic characteristics, Pediatric Caregiver Stress Questionnaire, Work Rewards Scale-Pediatric Oncology, Ways of Coping Checklist - Revised, Maslach Burnout Inventory). A cluster analysis was performed to identify burnout profiles. ANOVAs and chi-tests were performed in order to identify the differences between the clusters.
Results: The cluster analysis performed showed two end-points profiles with three low or high dimensions (Engagement, Burnout) and three intermediate profiles with only one high dimension (Overextended, Disengaged, Ineffective). The Burnout profile was characterized by a high level of stress, particularly related to working conditions, a low level of perceived rewards, and a low use of problem-focused coping. The Overextended profile was characterized by a high level of stress, particularly related to working conditions. The Disengaged profile had a higher level of stress and a lower level of perceived rewards than the Engagement profile. The Ineffective profile was characterized by low levels of perceived rewards, problem-focused coping, and social support seeking.
Conclusion: Interventions to improve the health of healthcare professionals caring for young cancer patients should focus primarily on improving working conditions (work overload, work/life balance) and promoting a stable work environment, enabling healthcare workers to develop their resources at work.

Therapist attributes are known to contribute to positive therapeutic outcomes and are important to effective training and clinical practice. Although well researched in psychology and play therapy, few studies have directly explored music therapist attributes. To explore and understand these descriptions, we conducted a secondary analysis of parent interview data from a multisite trial investigating a music therapist-delivered intervention for young children with cancer and their parents.
