Assessed the effectiveness of an educational program for nurses administering antineoplastic drugs; comparative intervention research before and after.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Occupational exposure of healthcare workers to antineoplastic drugs can be prevented through the consistent use of protective measures. Despite clear scientific evidence of exposure risks, adherence to safety standards and use of personal protective equipment remain insufficient. The most frequently cited barriers include lack of training, weak safety culture, and inconsistent institutional policies. Training interventions have been shown to improve knowledge, attitudes, and performance related to safe handling.

Methods

This study evaluated the effectiveness of an educational intervention on factors influencing the use of personal protective equipment among nurses who administer antineoplastic drugs, guided by the "Factors Predicting Use of Hazardous Drug Safe Han
