Sažetak
ABSTRACT Introduction: The pain of the locomotor system is an epidemiological problem nowadays and the young generation is not excluded from pain either. Since a physiotherapist's work requires frequent physical engagement, pain can be a significant limiting factor. Methods: An internally created questionnaire was used in this cross-sectional study (N=82). The study included second-year (N=40) and third-year (N=42) students of physiotherapy at the College of Applied Sciences in Vukovar. Of 86 physiotherapy students, 82 returned completed questionnaires (response rate 95%). The questionnaire comprised ten questions, including causes, type and duration of pain, treatment methods, and opinions about the impact of pain on quality of life and the student's future profession. Results: Over 80% of the physiotherapy students have some kind of the pain in the locomotor system, 59% constantly feel pain and 23% feel pain temporarily. Only 18% of students are pain-free. There is no statistically significant difference between second- and third-year physiotherapy students considering the impact of pain on quality of life at the moment (p>0.05). There is a statistically significant differ- ence between second-year and third-year students regarding the impact of pain on their future pro- fession (p<0.05). There is no difference between groups regarding a request for professional assistance (p>0.05). Discussion and conclusion: Three significant problems are noted in both groups. The first is a large num- ber of students who experience pain and the second is related to mistrust of professional assistance. Such a passive attitude should not be a trait of future health workers or experts. The number of students who expect some restriction level on their future profession because of pain is worrying.
