Introduction. As these define the status of the patient during the provision of health services, patients' rights are a very important component of Poland's medical law. The observance of these rights is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the nursing profession. Theoretical and practical preparation in this area is thus already a necessity in the students' education process. Aim. The aim of the study was to analyze the opinions and attitudes of nursing students with respect to problems in the field of the observance of the rights of patients in Poland. Material and methods. The study was built upon the opinions expressed by 375 students (362 women and 13 men) of the first and second year. These were full-time and part-time students in master's studies in nursing, of the Faculty of Health Science, Medical University of Warsaw. The study employed a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the content of essays. Results. The results of the study indicate that 59 percent of the respondents report being frequent witnesses of violation of patient's rights. In particular, that which noted were the rights to privacy and dignity (98%), to receive sought-after information (91%) and to suitable health-care (85%). Another right seen to have been violated in the respondents' workplace was the patient's right to the maintenance of the confidentiality of patient-related information by medical personnel (77%). The respondents, while seeing violation of the patient's rights by other employees, declared their own adherence to these rights in their own professional practice. Conclusions. 1. The majority of the study group repeatedly witnessed violation of patients' rights. It would, therefore, be advisable to monitor the observance of the rights of patients by medical personnel, and to see to the professional liability of those who flagrantly breaking the law. 2. Research findings indicate that ethics should be given more emphasis in teaching future health professionals in the course of their medical studies. 3. The analysis of the available literature and our own study show that the share of medical personnel in providing information about the patients' rights is minimal. It would be advisable for medical personnel to be given an opportunity to acquire new skills and competences in this field. 4. Awareness of the existence and knowledge of the patient's rights, not only among medical students and health professionals, but also among patients, is crucial to their observance by the former and their exercise by the latter. It should, therefore, be spread and raised. 5. Training and thematic courses in patient's rights should be provided in order to enable medical personnel to acquire new skills and competences in this field, with the end result of improving their observance of patient's rights. 6. A qualitative analysis constitutes an innovative and effective way of carrying out research and interpreting research findings, being a valuable and reasonable method of conducting a survey, and in exploring the attitudes of students and health-care workers towards patient's rights.

Underdiagnosis of childhood asthma is a well known problem in many countries. In Poland the estimated occurrence of this problem reaches 50% and is similar to fi ndings published in foreign literature. The causes of the problem are not unequivocally recognized and are addressed by few authors. Among potential causes there are circumstances related to organization and practice of pediatric health care, including application of standard diagnostic criteria of asthma, availability of diagnostic tests, nozologic preferences, etc. Another category of circumstances in charge of underdiagnosis of childhood asthma stems from environmental infl uences, including family-related factors. Findings published in foreign literature show that underdiagnosis is more frequent in children of low socio-economic status, in rural setting or in families burdened by stress. Evidence however is far from being complete. There is a lack of Polish data on the subject and it remains unknown to what extent underdiagnosis of childhood asthma in this country is related to the above mentioned factors. Scientifi c investigation into the problem is necessary for a number of reasons and justifi es implementation of subject-oriented epidemiological studies. Identifi cation of factors associated with an increased probability of underdiagnosis of childhood asthma should facilitate planning of proper preventive measures, above all involving screening programs addressed to selected groups of population.

Prawo swobodnego przepływu osób oraz usług, będące podstawą funkcjonowania Unii Europejskiej, spowodowało konieczność zapewnienia obywatelom Unii Europejskiej, przemieszczającym się wewnątrz Wspólnoty, dostępu do świadczeń wynikających z zabezpieczenia społecznego, a w szczególności usług medycznych na terytorium innego kraju niż kraj pochodzenia. W celu całościowego przedstawiania zastosowania przepisów o koordynacji systemów zabezpieczenia społecznego przez Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia, dokonano analizy podstawowych aktów prawnych, ustanawiających obowiązujące rozwiązania formalno-proceduralne, niezbędne dla zrozumienia niniejszego zagadnienia. Opracowanie stanowi teoretyczno-empiryczną analizę faktów, w oparciu o ustawowe zadania i ich realizację prowadzoną przez Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia, z wykorzystaniem danych statystycznych pochodzących z raportów przygotowywanych przez Centralę Narodowego Funduszu Zdrowia, zgromadzonych w Centralnym Wykazie Ubezpieczonych NFZ.

The aim of this paper is to verify a hypothesis that there is no legal definition of the notion of physiotherapist in Polish legal system. The task was to identify the source of the legal status of physiotherapists in Poland, preceded by an analysis of the existing legal order. Critical analysis of selected literature was used as the research method. The analytic method has also been used in the selection of sources of law and an analysis of their contents, which have been then synthesized in order to define the concept. The following conclusions are the result of the study. None of the existing sources of law contain the definition of a physiotherapist profession. Physiotherapist is a medical profession grounded on possession of the specialized education. Physiotherapists and their activities have been taken into account in the existing catalogue of the professions and services. A physiotherapist is a physical culture personnel representative.
