Occupational safety performance in handling chemotherapy drugs and their association with self-efficacy, risk perception, workplace safety, and work-related barriers among oncology nurses: A multicenter cross-sectional study
Key Points
Occupational safety performance is linked to self-efficacy and risk perception among oncology nurses, enhancing safety outcomes.
Key evidence shows that 75% of nurses reported work-related barriers impacting their safety practices while handling chemotherapy drugs.
Cross-sectional analysis across multiple centers measured associations between safety performance, self-efficacy, and risk perception.
Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve workplace safety and address barriers in handling chemotherapy drugs.
