Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate nurses’ knowledge and compliance to guidelines for safe handling of cytotoxic drugs and their exposure experiences. Methods: The data were collected from April to September 2013 by using questionnaires. The study participants were 177 nurses from a university hospital. The research tools were revised based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, t test, analysis of variance, and x2 test. Results: A significant difference in the nurses’ compliance was observed in relation to their exposure experience with cytotoxic drugs (t=-3.41, p<.001). Furthermore, exposure experience with cytotoxic drugs was significantly higher in the nurses who had less than 2 years of career (F=2.87, p=.038) and worked at the oncology unit (x2=40.0, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest the need to educate nurses about safe handling of cytotoxic drugs and the associated risk.
