The data were analyzed by Spearman rank. Results: The results state that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and the compliance of wound care SOP (p=0.000), gender and the compliance of wound care SOP (p=0.000), age and the compliance of wound care SOP (p=0.000), education and the compliance of wound care SOP (p=0.000), working length and the compliance of wound care SOP (p=0.000), and training and the compliance of wound care SOP (p=0.000).
