Objective: To examine the opinions of physiotherapy students about the effects of physical activity in people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Study Design: Cross-sectional survey was conducted during January and February 2023. Participants and Methods: The research included 131 students of the dislocated university undergraduate and graduate study of Physiotherapy in Orahovica at the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health in Osijek. It was conducted through a self-made survey questionnaire in contact form and all the participants voluntarily took part in the research. The self-made questionnaire included 17 questions. The first part of the questionnaire referred to the general characteristics of the respondents, while the second part of the questionnaire focused on rheumatoid arthritis and the impact physical activity has on it. Results: Based on the collected data, it was determined that, as part of this research, female students made up the majority of the population, 89 of them (67,9 %). When considering the total number of respondents, 68 of them (51,9 %) attend the university undergraduate course in Physiotherapy. At the level of significance, P = 0,05, it was found that there is a statistically significant difference in the opinions of physiotherapy students with regard to the gender of the respondents in questions related to the first line of treatment for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. It was also observed that there is a statistically significant difference in opinions of students of physiotherapy for questions related to the preliminary initiation of treatment and the benefits of engaging in physical activity for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, considering the study level of the respondents. Conclusion: Oscillations among the opinions of physiotherapy students considering the effects of physical activity in people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis were noted.
