Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate aspects relating to interest, perception and knowledge levels regarding ethics in physiotherapy among lecturers of this course at a university in the Brazilian Amazon region. Eighteen lecturers
participated and responded to 21 questions divided in sections related to “interest”, “perception” and “knowledge levels”. The data was considered in terms of absolute and relative frequency. In the “interest” section, 77.77% (n = 14) indicated internet as a primary source of updates regarding the issue of ethics in physiotherapy. In the “perception” section, 94.44% (n = 17) considered the ethical behavior of students in their evaluations. Regarding “knowledge levels”, 83.33% (n = 15) erred to say that treatment prescription can only be established after an appointment. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance knowledge and stimulate ethical considerations of lecturers regarding their ethical behavior for their own growth and the training of students.
