Level of healthy lifestyle of paramedics
ČERNÁ, Alena
Currently the total number of medical emergency drawaways is increasing. Rescue workers often face stress and physical strain, which requires their mental and physical fitness. In recent years medical rescue workers have been drawing away in medical emergency regime, thus without a doctor, which carries higher level of responsibility and therefore the rescue worker faces higher stress level. This is a non-stop profession and therefore it is highly important to heed sufficient rest and relax, both physical and mental. The aim was to discover a medical rescue worker´s healthy lifestyle standard in the regi-on of South Bohemia, how a medical rescue worker copes with stress and what way he or she relaxes and makes use of his or her leisure time. A survey of a quantity method by means of questionnaires has been placed at work. These have been distributed to medical emergency rescue workers in the region of South Bohemia. The results of the survey show that a medical emergency rescue worker´s healthy lifestyle standard of the Medi-cal Emergency of South Bohemia cannot be unambigously identified. The survey also discovered that the rescuers use mainly addictives, sport and friends to cope with stress and mostly active relaxing such as tourism or sporting activities to relax. In practice the survey shows that the management of the Medical Emergency could consider placing teambuilding activities and other company events.

Symptoms of burnout among staff of direct service care
ZICHOVÁ, Eliška
This dissertation was focused on burnout syndrome among the staff of direct service care. The degree of burnout was estimated using Copenhagen Burnout Inventory questionnaire which was completed by the respondents from six Prague homes for seniors. The burnout incidence in this group was 30-45 %, whereas it was only 18-32 % among Czech Army employees who were studied for comparison. The staff of direct service care had significantly higher degree of personal, work-related, client-related and total burnout than army employees. Further aim was to verify whether supervision leads to lowered incidence of burnout symptoms. However, this study did not reveal any improvement of burnout degree in homes for seniors in which supervision was installed. When searching for most frequent reasons of profession change among the staff of direct service care, it was demonstrated that respondents with higher burnout degree were looking especially for less stressing work. Practice length was only of borderline importance for the severity of burnout syndrome, while age or education had no significant influence on this syndrome among the staff of direct service care. In conclusion, this study confirmed the importance of respondent relation to their job, which was inversely proportional to their burnout degree. The respondents looking for less stressing work had higher degree of burnout than those who searched for other qualities of their future job. This important difference was demonstrated in all groups examined. On the contrary, those who found their realization in their work were less burned out than those who did not consider work as their mission. These findings are in agreement with the idea that the pronounced job engagement represents a definite protection against work exhaustion and burnout.
