Peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis is one of the main infectious complications in patients with chronic kidney disease, affecting treatment continuity and increasing morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to analyze nursing interventions aimed at preventing peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. A narrative literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, SciELO, and Redalyc, considering studies published between 2020 and 2025 in Spanish and English. The results show that the main risk factors include inadequate catheter handling techniques, poor hygiene, low therapeutic adherence, and limited health education. The most effective interventions identified include structured patient education, aseptic techniques, standardized protocols, and continuous follow-up. It is concluded that nursing plays a fundamental role in preventing peritonitis through a comprehensive approach that strengthens self-care, adherence, and clinical monitoring.
