A very important aspect of nursing is to provide education and upbringing. These tasks include forming good health behaviour and responsibility of own health. Moreover they include education about self-care which allow patient to take part in the care and treatment process. The aim of the study was to compare the level of demand and provision of nursing care in aspect of education and health upbringing. Study was performed in two surgical wards: 320 patients from the surgery clinic of the teaching hospital and 148 patients from surgical wards of local hospitals. We used standarised questionnaire which evaluated level of care demand and provision care--in patients opinions. The highest demands were associated with diagnostics. The highest level of compatibility between demands and care provision was observed in aspect of introduction and adaptation of patients in the hospital. The highest demands of patients, especially in the surgery clinic, increased the level of care.
