EONS CANCER NURSING INDEX 2025

The EONS Advocacy Working Group is pleased to announce the launch of the European Cancer Nursing Index 2025 (ECNI 2025).

Background:

The first ECNI survey, conducted in 2020, gathered responses from more than 650 cancer nurses across 42 European countries. The resulting European Cancer Nursing Index 2020 offered a unique overview of the status of cancer nursing across Europe, highlighting both common challenges and country-specific variations. The data have since been presented at multiple international meetings and used to support advocacy for improved education, safety, and recognition of cancer nurses.

In 2022, the ECNI 2022 update gathered responses from 630 nurses in 29 countries. This iteration placed greater focus on local workplace settings and included additional questions addressing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and staffing levels.

About ECNI 2025:

This year’s ECNI 2025 builds on the 2022 findings with a special focus on working conditions and safety in cancer nursing, both key concerns raised in previous editions.

The survey and invitation letters are available in 15 languages:

Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Icelandic, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. 

Please find the links to the surveys below.

The survey is online and takes only 10 to 15 minutes to complete, yet the insights gained can help shape policies and improve care outcomes for people affected by cancer across Europe.

We thank all nurses who participate, your voice matters.
