Descriptive statistic was used to describe the socio-demographic characteristic, level of knowledge on DVT and prevention practice among nurses in Hospital USM. Pearson’s Chi Square analyses were used to determine the association between socio-demographic data with level of knowledge on DVT and prevention practice among nurses in Hospital USM. 67.7% of participant had moderate level of knowledge on DVT, while 22.6% had low level and 9.7% had high level respectively. Then, majority of them had high level of practice which is 93.5%. This study also shown that there is no association between level of knowledge and level of prevention practice on DVT.
