abstract="It results from epidemiological studies that accidents and traumas are one of more important medical and social problems in our country. These issues are complex as they are related not only to the need of treatment, rehabilitation and social guarantees of the injured, but also with problems of health promotion and prophylactics. As the etiology of accidents and traumas is often complex, it is indispensable to establish cooperation of specialists of many scientific disciplines such as medicine, pedagogy, sociology and psychology, statistics, economy, and law. The subject of prevention of accidents and traumas among rural population is still rarely discussed in scientific studies as these issues are underestimated by some scientific bodies and state administrative units and due to paucity of financial means devoted to health promotion and prophylactics. On the basis of the own studies it can be concluded that knowledge of health promotion and prophylactics of trauma among the disabled persons inhabiting rural areas is insufficient and 87% of the disabled pointed out lack of information in this domain. The higher age group and the lower level of education, the lower knowledge of the subject. Scientific, educative and informative activity should be included in the programmes of health promotion and prophylactics.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
