Introduction: The aim of the study was to determine factors differentiating the attitudes of students of physiotherapy of the University of Rzeszow (UR) towards wearing masks, maintaining social distance, disinfection rules and vaccination against COVID-19. Material and methods: The study was conducted among 200 students of physiotherapy of the UR. Men accounted for 31.5%, and women for 68.5%. The mean age was 21.64±1.84 years. The study was based on a questionnaire survey. The dimension of attitudes of students of physiotherapy of the UR towards wearing masks, maintaining social distance, the rules of disinfection and vaccination against COVID-19 was analyzed in the following spheres: knowledge and beliefs (8.27±3.35 points), actions (3.21±1.95 points), a sense of uncertainty (3.6±1.49 points), a sense of agency (2.94 ±1.27 points) and a general attitude (9.6±2.79 points). Statistical testing of Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman’s rank test was carried out for a statistically significant relationship at p<0.05. Results: Such dimensions as: declared attitudes, knowledge and beliefs based on science, actions and sense of agency were significantly higher in women (p<0.05). The uncertainty dimension was significantly higher in men (p<0.05). The higher the dimension of knowledge and beliefs based on science, the higher the dimension of the declared attitude, actions, sense of agency (R>0), and the lower the dimension of uncertainty (R<0, p<0.05). Conclusions: Gender and dimension of knowledge and beliefs differentiated the attitudes of students of physiotherapy of the UR towards wearing masks, maintaining social distance, the rules of disinfection and vaccination against COVID-19.
