Phlebitis is a common nosocomial infection caused by invasive procedures such as intravenous catheter insertion, and it may lead to serious complications. Therefore, enhancing knowledge of phlebitis and motivation for its prevention is crucial among professional nursing students. This study aimed to identify the relationship between knowledge of phlebitis and motivation for phlebitis prevention among professional nursing students at a university in Tangerang. This study employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Participants were professional nursing students (n = 176) selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using knowledge and motivation questionnaires. The results showed that most participants (56.8%) had poor knowledge of phlebitis; however, the majority of participants (80.7%) demonstrated high motivation for phlebitis prevention. Furthermore, the Spearman's rank correlation test revealed a moderate positive relationship between knowledge of phlebitis and motivation for phlebitis prevention (r = 0.423, p < 0.001), indicating that higher levels of knowledge of phlebitis were related to greater motivation to engage in phlebitis prevention. Although professional nursing students showed high motivation for phlebitis prevention, their level of knowledge remained inadequate. Strengthening educational strategies, including theoretical reinforcement, simulation-based learning, and structured clinical training, is necessary to improve students’ knowledge and preparedness for safe nursing practice.
