Dependent variable was nurse’s practice to prevent nosocomial infection. Data then analyzed using correlations product moment test. Result: The results showed that, susceptibility variable, severity of infection variable and benefi t variable have correlation with nosocomial infection prevention (p value=0,000<0,05). While barrier variable did not have correlation with nosocomial infection prevention (p value=0,201>0,05). Discussion: Variables of health belief model that can be used as determinants of nosocomial infection prevention were susceptibility, seriousness and benefi ts.
