Abstract     When working with patients, physiotherapists usually concentrate on them, their illness and problems but we rarely ask ourselves what we feel when working with patients and how this work influences us. This paper presents factors which cause stress of the physiotherapists at work. The survey was conducted to identify these factors. The most frequent stress factors at work are relationships and organisational problems followed by too many patients and problems related to illness. It was found out that the most stressful group are the physiotherapists working at health centres and at the Institute of RS for Rehabilitation. The least stressful is the group working at the health resorts. The problem of a large number of patients is the most acute in health centres and in health resorts where half of the number of patients would be acceptable. Most of the physiotherapists find their work interesting, only among the physiotherapists that work in health resors there is a significant number of those who find their work monotonous. The professional opinion of physiotherapists is taken into account the most in private practice and the least in health resorts. It was established that additional training is also one of the stress factors.
Summary     Ko fizioterapevti delamo s pacienti, največkrat vso pozornost usmerimo nanje, na njihovo bolezen in težave, malokdaj pa se vprašamo, kaj pri delu z njimi občutimo mi sami in kako to vpliva na nas. Ta raziskava predstavlja dejavnike, zaradi katerih fizioterapevti občutijo stres na delovnem mestu. V ta namen je bila izvedena anketa. Najpogostejši stresni dejavniki na delovnem mestu so medsebojni odnosi in organizacijske težave, sledi pa preveliko število pacientov in problemi v zvezi z boleznijo. Ugotovljenoje bilo, da najpogosteje stres doživljajo fzioterapevti, ki so zaposleni v zdravstvenih domovih in na Inštitutu RS za rehabilitacijo. Razmeroma najmanj pa stres doživljajo tisti, ki so zaposleni v zdraviliščih. Vprašanje prevelikega števila pacientov najbolj občutijo v zdraviliščih in zdravstvenih domovih, kjer bi bila zanje skoraj polovica obdelanih pacientov še sprejemljiva. Večini fizioterapevtov se zdi njihovo delo pestro, le v zdraviliščih se pojavlja največji odstotek tistih, ki se jim zdi delo enolično. Mnenje fizioterapevtov drugi zdravstveni delavci najbolj upoštevajo v zasebni dejavnosti, najmanj pa v zdraviliščih. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je tudi dodatno izobraževanje eden izmed stresnih dejavnikov.
