Area of Science:

  • Oncology Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Hazardous drugs (HDs) pose significant risks to healthcare professionals, particularly in oncology.
  • The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) General Chapter <800> provides critical safe-handling standards for HDs.
  • Oncology nurses require specific guidance on implementing these standards to minimize exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the role of nurse leaders in adopting USP General Chapter <800> safe-handling standards.
  • To identify practical strategies for mitigating hazardous drug exposure among oncology nurses.
  • To address challenges hindering the effective implementation of safe handling protocols.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Databases searched included PubMed and CINAHL.
  • Textbooks and clinical expertise were also incorporated.

Main Results:

  • Nurse leaders play a pivotal role in fostering a secure environment for handling hazardous cancer drugs.
  • Effective implementation of USP <800> standards is vital for nurse safety.
  • Existing barriers to hazardous drug handling must be addressed.

Conclusions:

  • Nurse leaders are indispensable in ensuring the safety of nurses managing hazardous drugs.
  • Addressing identified barriers is a prerequisite for reducing oncology nurses' exposure to hazardous agents.
  • Proactive leadership is key to establishing and maintaining a safe oncology nursing practice.
