Streszczenie:

Fizjoterapeuci ze względu na specyfikę wykonywanego zawodu są szczególnie narażeni na wypadki przy pracy. Istniejące w Polsce ubezpieczenie społeczne umożliwia im jednak zabezpieczenie na wypadek niezdolności do pracy. W niniejszym artykule zawarto najważniejsze kwestie dotyczące definicji i rodzajów ubezpieczeń społecznych, z jakich mogą korzystać fizjoterapeuci. Opisano powiązanie między prawem pracy a ubezpieczeniem społecznym. Przedstawiono również świadczenia, jakie przysługują pracownikowi z tytułu wypadku przy pracy lub choroby zawodowej. Ze względu na wymagającą pracę oraz ryzyko wypadku przy pracy istotne jest, aby fizjoterapeuci byli świadomi swoich praw i obowiązków, a w razie potrzeby – by korzystali z ubezpieczenia społecznego.

Słowa kluczowe: ubezpieczenia społeczne, fizjoterapeuci, ubezpieczenie wypadkowe, wypadki przy pracy

Abstract

A physiotherapist running or thinking of starting his/her own business must take into account many factors affecting business profitability. All predictable costs, as well as sudden crises and geopolitical changes should be considered due to their significant impact on the ability to continue running the business. Recent changes in tax policy and geopolitical turmoil make the analysis even more difficult, and its results not always optimistic.

Methods. An author’s custom survey form was used. The survey was conducted on a group of 101 physiotherapists actively working in their profession.
Results. Physiotherapists questioned felt the need to refresh their knowledge about medical law. They did not have faith in DPO regarding his possibility to improve data security and quality of services offered. At the same time, they witnessed data security breach. Most of the variables used were statistically significantly correlated.

Abstract
Introduction. A high level of knowledge of physiotherapists in the field of health promotion and proper body parameters is necessary for the correct transmission of information to patients.

Conclusions. Additional programmes promoting the transfer of knowledge to patients by physiotherapists should be introduced in most medical facilities. Physiotherapists should be encouraged to share their knowledge of a healthy lifestyle.
