The analysis used was univariate and bivariate analysis with the Pearson Product Moment test with level of significance at the alpha = 0.05. 

Results: The results of the univariate analysis of knowledge obtained a mean value of 6.16 with a standard deviation of 1.04 and nurses’ compliance obtained a mean value of 34.67 with a standard deviation of 3.56. The results of the study concluded that there was no significant correlation between knowledge and nurse compliance in the use of PPE level 2 in Petala Bumi Hospital, Riau Province with p = 0.513 and r = 0.085.
