ABSTRACT

Introduction: This report is part of a multi-centric study about knowledge and application of the nursing process in hospital and communitarian practice in 12 participants’ status from the Mexican Republic.
Objective: To analyze the nurses’ knowledge about the nursing process and its relation with the application in the professional practice.
Methodology: For conventional sampling, within the region of the Federal District, 2268 nurses who work in private and public institutions, were surveyed through a questionnaire with 73 questions set them up in the Likert’ scale.
Results: The average of knowledge was 83.55 with a minimum value of 52.0 and a maximum value of 93.43. The index of application showed a media of 82.4, minimum value of 42.3 and a maximum of 89.47. The Spearman Rho test showed a positive, significant correlation of (rs=0.0204, p=0.05) between both variables. When applying the Mann-Whitney U test, it was found a significant difference among the results in the Federal District, centric zone (83.55) with those from north zone (80.51) and south zone (78.13), in both variables.
Conclusions: A third part of nurses agreed that the main barrier to apply the nursing process is the working overload, another umber of nurses considered that is the lack of human and material resources, and admitted that the main problem is the lack of knowledge about the topic.
