Adherence to the handwashing protocol in the Operating Room before and after the surgical procedure is of utmost importance and must be done correctly. This led to the investigation of the following question: What is the level of adherence to the institutional handwashing protocol among healthcare personnel in the Operating Room of a private clinic in Breña (Lima-Peru)? The study was quantitative, descriptive-explanatory, and prospective. The study population consisted of 100 healthcare professionals (Surgeons, Anesthesiologists, Nurses, and Nursing Technicians). The data collection technique used was Participant Observation, with three observations made for each sample element. The instrument used was a Checklist validated by Expert Judges, and reliability was assessed using the Test-Retest method (0.836 Before and 0.909 After the surgical intervention). The overall results show that 83% of the staff demonstrate medium and high adherence to the handwashing protocol before the surgical procedure (71% and 12%, respectively), and 70% show medium and high adherence after the surgical procedure (45% and 25%, respectively). The analysis of the results by strata predominantly shows medium adherence among surgeons, nurses, and nursing technicians, while anesthesiologists show an even distribution of low and medium adherence levels before and after the surgical procedure.
