Professional culture versus physiotherapist's culture
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2013, Vol 13, Issue 4
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.
