Perawat bertugas untuk mengetahui setiap komponen dari perintah pemberian obat termasuk aspek “enam tepat”. Enam tepat terdiri dari tepat pasien, tepat obat, tepat dosis, tepat waktu, tepat cara, dan tepat pendokumentasian. Ketepatan tersebut harus didasari dengan keterampilan, pendidikan, dan pengetahuan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pendidikan dan lama kerja perawat dengan penerapan prinsip “Enam Tepat” dalam pemberian obat. Metode penelitian menggunakan deskriptif korelatif dengan rancangan cross sectional. Alat ukur menggunakan kuesioner penerapan prinsip “enam tepat” yang terdiri dari 20 pernyataan dan kuesioner karakteristik responden. Sampel berjumlah 124 perawat RSUD Dr. H. Soewondo Kendal. Hubungan tingkat pendidikan dan lama kerja perawat dengan prinsip enam tepat dilakukan analisa bivariate dengan menggunakan uji Sperman’s rho dengan hasil tidak ada hubungan antara tingkat pendidikan perawat dengan penerapan prinsip “enam tepat “dalam pemberian obat (p value 0,390) dan ada hubungan antara lama kerja perawat dengan penerapan prinsip “enam tepat” dalam pemberian obat (p value 0,028).
