Abstract

Common behavioural and ethical patterns existing in modern medicine are subject to many social debates in which physiotherapist, alongside ethicists, philosophers and doctors, have their say. All of them express their points of view, which more often than not, coincide. The differences in opinions constitute the consequences of applying deontology in certain professional cases. Forming behavioural patterns in the process of academic studies is a hard and long-lasting task. Further development of ethical attitudes of a physiotherapist will be influenced by work. Even though physiotherapists embark upon their professional paths with already formed attitudes, these will be prone to further changes, both negative and positive, depending on the environment.

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.
