Volunteering in a pediatric oncology unit: Motivations and duration

Volunteers play an essential role in pediatric oncology. While they are driven by personal motivations, they usually receive specific training that may support or reshape their goals.
We conducted a questionnaire-based survey to assess demographics, motivations, and satisfaction among eight associations/non-profit organizations, representing approximately 120 volunteers. The objectives were to explore the nature and correlations of their motivations to evaluate the sustainability of their engagement.
