Abstract

Objective: To determine the relationship between knowledge and practices in the prevention of surgical site infection among nursing professionals in the Surgery Service at a National Hospital in Lima, 2022. Population: The population will consist of 50 nurses. Sample: The sample will be the same as the population due to its small size (<100); therefore, the sample will include all 50 nurses. Methodological design: The method will be hypothetical-deductive, with a quantitative approach, applied type, descriptive cross-sectional, and correlational. Instruments: To evaluate the variable "Nursing professionals' knowledge in preventing surgical site infections," a modified questionnaire by López in 2016 will be applied, with a reliability of KR-20 = 0.83. To assess the variable "Nursing professionals' practices in preventing surgical site infections," an observation guide modified by García in 2017 will be used, with a reliability of KR-20 = 0.85. Data processing and analysis: Descriptive statistics will be applied to present the results by levels, and the Spearman's Rho test will be used to test the study hypothesis.
