Group I: Cannabis & Cancer digital educational interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This intervention includes different asynchronous pedagogical modalities that allow, among other things, to reactivate the participants' previous knowledge and promote their autonomy in their learning process. These modalities focus on various problems that oncology nurses may encounter about the use of cannabis in oncology (eg, how to tackle the subject, what are the correct times to approach the topic). To this end, various pedagogical modalities that encourage the active participation of nurses are integrated into the training (eg, interactive videos, and quizzes). Scientific articles and links to external resources (official public websites) are also included so that nurses can consult the content at their own pace. Different aspects related to the use of cannabis are addressed in the training (eg, beneficial effects, and potential side effects).

Group II: Standard information regarding cannabis use in oncologyActive Control1 Intervention

The comparator is composed of an email with basic reliable non-personalized information on cannabis use in oncology (official public websites and scientific articles).
