This study aims to assess the safe chemotherapy handling behaviors among oncology nurses in Gaza.
Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from July to August 2023.
All 110 nurses at the hospital completed a validated self-administered questionnaire.
Data analyzed using SPSS v25 with descriptive statistics, t-tests, and analysis of variance.
Response rate was 96.36% (n = 106).
Mean self-reported scores: safe handling before administration (81.77%), during administration (71.33%), safe disposal of equipment (83.05%), cytotoxic body fluids (72.84%).
Significant associations found between safe behaviors and age (p = .012), nursing experience (p = .001), oncology experience (p = .044), qualifications (p = .004), and previous training (p = .003).

Diab et al. (2026) studied this question.
