Abstract

Aims/Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) significantly influence patient safety and healthcare quality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where the burden is most evident. This manuscript aims to evaluate the awareness and adherence to SSI prevention guidelines among healthcare providers at a tertiary trauma centre situated in Tirana, Albania.

Methods This cross-sectional survey was conducted among practising surgeons, residents and nurses of Trauma University Hospital, Tirana. The questionnaire explores awareness, attitudes and practices towards SSI prevention in preoperative, perioperative and postoperative phases.

Results The participants demonstrated a high level of patient education about SSI risks (91.9%), but lower adherence to individual prevention practices.

Conclusion Despite adequate knowledge, there remains a significant gap in the implementation of SSI prevention guidelines. Strengthening continuous medical education is crucial to addressing systemic barriers, improving compliance with guidelines, and decreasing SSI rates.
