Abstract
Background: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is one of the most serious infections in women. It is an inflammation and infection of the upper genital tract involving the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and the surrounding structures.

Risk factors for PID are multiple sexual partners, single status, lower socioeconomic status, young age (<30 years), intrauterine contraceptive device, endometrial biopsy, curettage, hysteroscopy and hysterosalpingography, and Complications of tubal infertility, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain. Objective: The aim was to assess the level of nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding pelvic inflammatory disease at Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital, Bogura. Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with a sample size of 115 that was a purposive sampling technique followed by those who met the inclusion criteria to assess the nurse’s knowledge and practice regarding pelvic inflammatory disease.
