Disabilities have existed since the beginning of human race. There are many definitions of the term. The aim of the work was to check the knowledge of medical students about disabilities. The study was conducted with the use of a questionnaire. 151 third year medical students were interviewed. The majority of the students judged blind and deaf people as disabled, fewer--people with partial deafness and dimness of vision, even fewer--the handicapped and mentally diseased ones. The majority called people on wheelchairs disabled. Only 11.92% know that the European Year of People Living with Disabilities is held in 2003. Medical students represent poor knowledge about disabilities and they need education in the field.
自人类起源以来，残疾现象就已存在。该术语有多种定义。这项工作的目的是检验医学生对残疾的了解程度。研究采用问卷调查的方式进行。对151名三年级医学生进行了访谈。大多数学生认为盲人和聋人为残疾人，较少学生认为部分失聪和视力模糊的人为残疾人，更少学生认为身体有残疾和患有精神疾病的人为残疾人。大多数人称坐轮椅的人为残疾人。只有11.92%的人知道2003年是欧洲残疾人年。医学生对残疾的了解较少，他们需要这方面的教育。
