Abstract
The aim was to verify the knowledge of nurses from inpatient units about risk factors and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. The study is descriptive and prospective with a quantitative approach and data were collected from the analysis of medical records and questionnaires applied to nurses. The results showed the existence of an important deficit in the knowledge of nurses regarding the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism and it was identified that these professionals are not inserted in the process of prophylaxis of the disease, while they do not record information about risks, prophylaxis or conducts aimed at preventing the onset of the disease. It was concluded that the non-inclusion of nurses in the process of screening for venous thromboembolism risks negatively impacts their prophylaxis, generating high costs to the Unified Health System due to a preventable disease. And the non-recognition of its role in disease prevention limits its insertion in the prophylaxis process and reduction of this serious public health problem.
