Abstract
Every year, canceris diagnosed in an increasing number of patients. Any diagnosis that confirms cancer causes enormous stress and trauma to the patient. Poor mental state may result in a lack of willingness to cooperate with a physiotherapist, and, as a result, hinder the overall treatment process. Physiotherapists should pay special attention to the principles of ethics in the profession and the possibilities of psychological support of patients during therapy. Reducing stress in patients and gaining their trust might help them recover faster.

Abstract

The social role of a physiotherapist must not be reduced to displaying instrumental professional knowledge and propriety; it demands from a physiotherapist to employ humane and ethical streak in his or her practice. A physiotherapist, in collaboration with the whole medical team, creates proper conditions for full recovery. Physiotherapists develop professional identity and awareness by furthering their education, raising their professional competence, belonging to physiotherapist associations and building bonds between other representatives of this profession. What influences the level of professionalism of the group and all the same determine the quality of physiotherapeutic services and a proper approach towards the patient are mutual attempt to standardise education, create role models as well as professional culture and ethical values. The aim of this study is to present physiotherapy as a profession, and the physiotherapist both as a professional who has the highest level of professional command to treat the ill and needed, and as a member of the rehabilitation (therapeutic) team – a humanist who treats a patient as a summum bonum of medicine.

Abstract

Introduction. In physiotherapy, just like in the other medical professions, in addition to acquiring the actual knowledge and gaining the professional skills, the professional ethics is of major importance.
Aim of the Study. The aim of the study was to verify statements made by the physiotherapy students, regarding the humanities (academic disciplines), which should have an impact on formation of their ethical attitudes.
Materials and Methods. In the study participated a group of 141 persons who, at the time, were physiotherapy students. The study was carried out at the turn of 2015 and 2016. The research tool applied was a questionnaire. To interpret the results of the study, the chi-square test (χ2) was used.
Results. The results of the survey show, that there is an average dependency between the humanistic disciplines and their impact on the attitude. Psychology, as well as interpersonal communication, have gained a high level of recognition among the physiotherapy students. Hence, the cause which testifies to the lack of impact of the humanistic disciplines on the formation of attitudes of the physiotherapy students toward their patients, is the lack of interpersonal communication, interchangeable, and therefore no emphasis on the knowledge of psychology during the process of communication.
