Abstract
Purpose: This research aimed to identify leading factors that affect nurses’ compliance with the safe handling of anticancer agents. Methods: Data were collected from 114 nurses working in the university hospital and were analyzed through independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS25.0. Results: The average level of compliance with the safe handling of anticancer agents was 3.73 ± 0.33 out of 5 points. Workplace safety culture (β = 0.40, P < 0.001) and knowledge of safe handling (β = 0.18, P = 0.030) had significant influences on nurses’ compliance with the safe handling of anticancer agents. The explained variance for compliance was 28.3%. Conclusion: To enhance the implementation of safety management for anticancer agents, each institution should strive to support human and material resources and enhance specialization in the workplace safety culture through system improvement. Based on the results of this study, we suggest research for the development of a training program for anticancer agent safety management.
