Psychohygiene of a paramedic
POSPÍŠILOVÁ, Erika
This study focuses on the psychohygiene of emergency medical responders, aiming to understand the professional demands on their mental health and well-being. The work analyzed stress factors, burnout syndrome, and mental health, examining the influence of stress on individuals and the importance of mental hygiene and self-care. The main objective was to ascertain the perception of psychological demands among emergency medical responders in prehospital care. The theoretical part of the study addresses issues of mental disorders, the influence of stress, and its effects on emergency medical responders. The practical section sought answers to predetermined hypotheses through research. The research was based on a questionnaire survey distributed among emergency medical responders. Based on the findings, it was observed that many responders experience stressful situations related to their work, which can have a negative impact on their mental health and well-being. We found no significant difference in the perception of psychological demands between genders. There was no difference in the perception of psychological demands based on length of practice. We also identified various activities that emergency medical responders engage in for their mental hygiene. The results indicate that providing support for stress management and mental health care is crucial for emergency medical responders in their professional lives. The conclusions of this study may contribute to a better understanding of responders' needs and the support of their mental health and well-being in the workplace. In the conclusion of the bachelor's thesis, in addition to summarizing the research results and evaluating the fulfillment of objectives, recommendations for current practice among emergency medical responders are provided. These recommendations are derived from the findings and can serve as a practical guide for improving the care of mental health among emergency medical responders in their professional environment.

Vliv typu ustájení na reakci koní na nový předmět
ČERNÁ, Michaela
Horses are highly sensitive animals that react intensely to new objects or environments that are unfamiliar to them. This rapid response stems from their natural role as prey in the wild, which is why they have instinctive fright reactions. The aim of this thesis was to develop a methodology for testing horses' reactions to new objects based on available literature and to evaluate the influence of factors such as type of housing and the age of the horses. The testing included 18 horses aged between 1 and 22 years from three types of housing (active stable, box housing, and pasture housing). Fear tests lasting 5 minutes monitored reactions to objects such as colored ribbons and a blue tarp. The mattress crossing test lasted a maximum of 10 minutes. In both fear tests with colored ribbons and the tarp, horses from box housing showed greater signs of nervousness. Statistically, they spent more time moving compared to horses from the active stable (an average of 10,5 seconds more for colored ribbons and 4,8 seconds more for the tarp). Conversely, individuals from active stables consistently spent more time exploring (an average of 17 seconds more for colored ribbons and 25 seconds more for the tarp). In the fear test of mattress crossing, no difference was demonstrated between the horses from the observed types of housing (p-value = 0,679 > 0,05). A correlation analysis assessed the influence of age on the duration of various behavioral displays when encountering a new object. In the case of the tarp and colored ribbons test, older horses spent less time standing, exploring, galloping, and inside the designated circle compared to younger individuals. Conversely, older horses walked more and spent more time on the tarp and eating compared to younger ones. Older horses needed more time to overcome the mattress compared to younger ones (r = 0,12). The significance of the enriched environment, presented in this work by the active stable, is in the milder reaction of horses to new objects and the reduced risk during human contact.
