The objective of the present investigation is "To determine how the level of knowledge is related to self-care practices in the prevention of diabetic foot in a hospital in Lima, 2023". Methods: the study will be hypothetical deductive, and the hypotheses will be subjected to a contrast test to reach the conclusions. The focus of the investigation will be quantitative and will be of an applied type with a non-experimental design of a descriptive correlational scope and a cross-sectional temporal cut since the variables will not be manipulated. The research work in its theoretical framework has 5 international precedents, and 5 national precedents of which 80% (8 precedents) conclude that the 2 variables are related to each other and 20% (2 precedents) conclude that the 2 variables are independent. The research sample is made up of 70 patients who are users of a hospital in Lima 2023 whose condition is that they must be diabetic. For the measurement of the variables, 3 dimensions were considered, such as diet, physical activity and self-care of the feet. To measure the variables, 1 survey was used as a technique for each variable, as well as the instrument was a questionnaire for each variable, which have a reliability of 0.728 (alpha Cronbach) and 0.80 (alpha Cronbach) respectively. Results: a Microsoft Excel will be processed, to analyze the data the chi-square test will be applied, and the Kendall correlation coefficient to establish the relationship between the 2 study variables.
