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.

W. Kiebzak, M. Kosztołowicz, M. Rusin, M. Kiljański, M. Kiebzak – Cultural Good as the Basis of Culture and Ethics. FP 2016;16(4);48-60

Abstract

Introduction. The ethical culture of physiotherapists encompass their attitudes and ethical beliefs, at every stage of their education and the actual job performance. The professional culture may be created by introducing the adequate ethics program. Both culture and ethics complement each other, and they reinforce the new principles and attitudes of people. The culture plays an important role in the daily life of every professional group, providing a common language and a shared way of behavior.
Aim of the Study. The aim of the study is to find a method allowing to formulate the definition of cultural good based on the results of used questions.
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 is a questionnaire. The method used to evaluate the results is the chi-squared test (χ2).
Results. The results have shown, that the physiotherapy students considered the following as cultural goods: esteem for health, propriety, tact, kindness, and responsibility, however these values are poorly related to the satisfaction derived from the fact of studying the physiotherapy.
Conclusion. The cultural good serves people, in a positive sense, through existence of the ethical triad, which should lead to the effective, positive man-to-man interaction.

Abstract
Introduction. In treatment procedure, due to strategy and evaluation of changes, high importance has precise medical physiotherapeutic diagnosis. In this study it was substantiated that the chest X-ray picture evaluated in ILO (International Labour Organization) classification is less precise method in diagnosis of silicosis that HRCT (High Resolution Computed Tomography) examination.
Purpose of This Study. Using the relative index Wr in diagnosing silicosis nodules in classical radiography evaluated in ILO and received using the HRCT method to check effectiveness of the both methods.
Material and Method. From the group of 358 patients with diagnosed silicosis, 65 males were selected in whom the HRCT chest examinations were made in an interval not longer than 6 months from the last X-ray picture in ILO classification. In each patient on the X-ray picture and the HRTC exam the diameters of the smallest and the biggest nodules were measured. Then, an average values from nodule measurements were calculated in each exam.
To achieve results, the following statistical methods were used: scale T1 [1],
relation index Wr, in intervals: Wr∈[0.9; 1.1], Wr<0.9 and Wr>1.1. In these intervals, the correlation coefficients between nodule diameters in ILO classification and HRCT using Pearson’s method.
Results. The correlation between average nodule diameters in individual Wr intervals is very high or very certain and H0 was rejected (exceptional is Wr>1.1 interval for rosettes). Therefore, it was demonstrated that the chest X-ray picture evaluated in the ILO classification and the HRCT examination similarly allow diagnosing the disease – silicosis, but the type of nodules may be found only using the HRCT.
Conclusions. The HRCT method is more efficient than the classic chest X-ray as it detects nodule types, namely  centrilobular, under pleural, peribronchovascular rosettes and tree budding.
