Radiotherapy is an essential modality in cancer treatment that requires nurse readiness. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and their relationship to nurses’ readiness at Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh. This quantitative analytic research used a cross-sectional design involving 93 nurses selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed with Spearman’s rho test. The results showed that most nurses had a moderate level of knowledge (51.6%) and a positive attitude (51.6%). A significant relationship was found between knowledge and attitudes toward radiotherapy services (p = 0.006; r = 0.279). In conclusion, better knowledge is associated with more positive attitudes.
