    The present study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude towards solid waste management among nursing staff in the emergency department of Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo, Lima 2023. Methodologically, a hypothetical-deductive, applied, quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental, and correlational method was employed. The study involved a population of 70 participants, and the sample size was the same, as it was a census. Questionnaires were used as instruments for each variable. The results showed that 81.4% of the participants were female, 35.7% were between 31 and 40 years old, 41.4% were cohabiting, and the majority (30.0%) had 4 to 5 years of work experience. Moreover, the level of knowledge was mainly high in 75.7%, and the attitude towards solid waste management was high in 52.9%. Statistically, it was confirmed that the dimensions of general knowledge, conditioning, segregation, and primary storage were significantly related to the attitude towards solid waste management (r=0.615, r=0.573, and r=0.533, respectively), with a significance level below 5% in all cases. In conclusion, the level of knowledge and attitude towards solid waste management are significantly related, as evidenced by the obtained significance value being below 5% (p < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient "Rho de spearman" of 0.775. Therefore, a higher level of knowledge leads to a better attitude towards solid waste management. This study sheds light on the importance of knowledge and its impact on fostering positive attitudes among nursing staff, which could ultimately contribute to improving solid waste management practices in the emergency department of Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo.
