The results of this study indicate that there was a relationship between compliance with the use of APD whit confirmed cases of COVID 19 in nurses in the COVID 19 isolation ward, the results obtained are R = 0.154 (p = 0.00) then it means that H1 there was a relationship between compliance with the use of Personal protective equipment (APD) with confirmed cases of COVID 19 in nurses in COVID 19 isolation ward.
