    This intervention -action study, was realized to 300 mothers who attended the birth in Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital. The objectives were to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of umbilical cord care, used for data collection pre -caps, an educational proposal, and a post -caps. It was hypothesized that educational interventions modify the knowledge, attitudes and practices about cord care, we have acquired the knowledge level of the mothers of the umbilical cord should fall between 5 to 15 days increased from 69.7% to 98.3%, in that the cord should be clean and dry typically 96.7% to 99.7 %, in that the benefit of the alcohol is to prevent infections 77.7% to 95.7% as poor cord care causes infections from 83% to 97.7%. Attitudes that should not cover the cord increased from 39% to 93.3%, which it should be clean for 3 to 5 days after his fall from 57.3% to 95% and you should not wrap the clamp 93.3% 61.7%. As for practices that lead to the child 's doctor if you notice redness around the cord observed an increase of 93.3% to 99.7%, from 82.3% to 99.3% who would look at him with alcohol, 96% to 100% that before cleaning would wash the hands and from 81.3% to 98.3% which would clean 2 to 3 times per day. Then we can say that if you changed the educational intervention knowledge of the mothers, thus proving the hypothesis.
