Data were collected through a self-administered online questionnaire. Applied Fisher's exact association statistical test for crossing the variables. Results: 75.6% of the participants had knowledge about the definition of incontinence-associated dermatitis, however most participants were wrong about several factors, such as: image identification (58.9%), evaluation (66.7%), prevention and treatment (58.9%), risk assessment method (62.2%).
