One of the main activities in nursing is the mobility of the patient; which in many cases do not use adequate body mechanisms, causing cervicallumbar pain. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of body mechanics and its application in nursing practice, Critical Units - Essalud 2018. The method used was quantitative, descriptive, correlational and crosssectional, using technique, survey and observation, using two instruments: questionnaire and observation guide, he studied was 25 nursing professionals (nurse and nursing technicians). The results obtained show that 72% and 28% of the nursing staff have a medium and high level of knowledge in body mechanics respectively; In relation to its application, it was found that 84% and 16% have a medium and low level of body mechanics with respect to its application. We obtained a correlation between two variables level of knowledge and level of application of body mechanics with a significance of (ρ = 0.022) interpreted as a moderate negative relationship between the variables, so the null hypothesis is rejected. Then there is an inverse or negative relationship between the Level of Knowledge and the Level of Application. For this reason, the following conclusion was reached: higher level of knowledge, lower level of application.
