In the modern healthcare system, the management of infected surgical wounds represents a significant challenge, especially in the care of the elderly and infirm. This final paper focuses on the assessment of the knowledge and attitudes of nurses and technicians working in homes for the elderly and infirm about the treatment of infected surgical wounds. The aim of the research was to determine the level of information and practice of medical staff in order to identify opportunities for improving educational programs and treatment protocols. Through a questionnaire distributed among 100 nurses and technicians, data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The results of the research showed that the majority of respondents have basic knowledge about surgical wound infections and methods of prevention, but certain knowledge gaps were also identified, especially in recognizing critical time frames for the development of infections and proper bandaging technique. Also, the research indicated a high awareness of the importance of continuous education, with respondents most preferring a combination of different educational methods, including practical demonstrations and online courses. By comparison with relevant research from other countries, similarities in challenges and needs for additional education were identified, indicating a global need for standardized educational programs that can improve clinical practice. The research conducted highlights the importance of continuous professional development and adaptation of educational programs to ensure that medical personnel possess the most up-to-date knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage infected surgical wounds.
