They aggravate their functional disability, increase the emotional stress of patients and families, leading to decreased quality of life.Nurses, as members of the multidisciplinary team, play a crucial role as promoters of adherence to the best practices for prevention and control of surgical site infection called "intervention bundle". Objective: Evaluate the adhesion of nurses to the intervention bundle in the prevention of Surgical Site Injury. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study. Sample of convenience, made up to 54 nurses. The data collection instrument was the checklist of the DGS of 2015. Results: The results revealed low adhesion in the presurgical bath with 2% chlorhexidine. Regarding trichotomy, it was avoided in about 59% of the cases. In the maintenance of capillary glycemia and normothermia, these were not met by 33% of professionals. Regarding adherence to surgical antibiotic prophylaxis, it was obeyed by 63% of the professionals, respecting the ideal timing of administration, 120 minutes before surgery. Conclusion: The implementation of programs of continuing education, accountability and awareness of the management bodies for the implementation of a safety culture are substantial in the prevention of surgical site disruption
