Abstract：To know the occupational hazard of nursing staff in tumor department, 48 nurses engaged in nursing of tumor patients from Feb. 1997 to Nov. 1999 were selected. They were divided into two groups according to their contacting time of chemotherapy drugs. After they had contacted the chemotherapy drugs for a period of time, leukocytopenia, alopecia, and menoxenia of these nurses were observed.Results showed that toxic reaction of nurses contacted chemotherapy drugs 6 months or more was significantly higher than that of those who contacted drugs less than 6 months (P ＜0.01). Suggested that nursing staff should strengthen their awareness of both self- protection and labor safety. And by this, ones can avoid the occupational hazard.
