The object of this work is to chart an educational process of ambulant patients undergoing a planned arm surgery due to carpal tunnel syndrome or trigger finger and creating a functional educational material that leads to a change of knowledge and skills of those patients and that can be used by nurses during their work. The three questions to achieve the objectives were: 1) How does the educational process of the patient look like before arm surgery? 2) How is the patient educated on post-operative regime? 3) How are the educational activities implemented in patients undergoing arm surgery? The research project was aimed to the qualitative investigation. Generally the research survey was structured into two phases, the results are summarized in the practical part. The first phase was focused on observation of professional object and depth semi-structured interviews with patients who underwent an arm surgery were made. This survey was supplemented by direct structured observation of nurses in the process of educational activities. Six nurses were altogether involved in the survey. In the second phase, the educational material based on the obtained results, was made for the nurses to use during their work. This material includes educational cards and maps of care instructions for given diseases. Effectivnes of this material was subsequently verified by more semi-structured interviews with six patiens. The results of the survey showed that in the workplace where the respondents underwent the surgery, the educatinal process was singificantly eliminated and for its realization the nurses did not have satisfactory conditions, especially time and spatil conditions. During the educatinal process the nurses were using monologues teaching methods. Demonstration and practical methods were missing. Nurses were not using teaching aids that can make the educatinal process more effective. The results of this work can elucidate the educational reality in surgeries and focus attention on this sector, often neglected in expert literature.
