Abstract: Objectives: To assess oncology nurses' awareness of chemotherapy-based extravasation care. Methodology: The study adopted a cross sectional descriptive study design. One hundred and fifty patients of both gender male and female were included in this study. Using SPSS, data analysis was performed and used to define the corresponding chi-square factor. Graphs and tables provided the details. Result: Total 150 participants are involved this study 71.7% were male participants and more than half 62.4% participants were registered nurses. The academic qualification of mostly participants 64.4% were diploma nurses and have 1-4 year of experience. 38.0% percent of participants were engaged in a hospital-based extravasation education program. and 62.0% were not. Only 40% of nurses want to continue their extravasation education in the hospital. Conclusion: Likely, the recent research serves as the basis of experience and expertise of extravasation treatment for oncology nurses. Surprisingly, nurses' understanding of management methods was woefully lacking. This may have an effect on the level of care given to patients with the aid of extravasation Education, lectures, and conferences are held on a regular basis.
