Education in pre - hospital acute care
AUGUSTA, Martin
This Graduation Paper covers the subject of education provided to patients as a part of their urgent pre-hospitalization care. Since the education has become an integral component of health care, the paramedical members of rescue teams have to deliver it before the care itself is provided. The theoretic section of the Paper deals with pedagogics as the basic discipline of education; with the education of patients going through the urgent pre-hospitalization care; and with the autodiagnostics and self-reflection of the paramedical rescuers, which are essential conditions of their improvement in the art of providing education. As an important part of the theoretical section comes communication, first and foremost communication as a means used to create a relation of mutual trust between the patient and the paramedical rescuer, but also communication with patients having specific needs such as those hard of hearing, patients with partial sight or similar disabilities. The final part of the theoretical section treats the issues of ethics as encountered in the urgent pre-hospitalization care. The practical section of the Paper presents the results of a quantitative survey encompassing two research sets. The first set consisted of paramedical rescuers based in Emergency Centers in the towns of Tábor and České Budějovice; the second set comprised patients treated by the Paramedical Rescue Service staff operating from the above-specified Centers. The survey, carried out as a quantitative survey, relied on questionnaires containing 13 questions for the paramedical rescuers and 12 so-called closed questions (with predefined optional answers) for the patients. The questions were asked so as to reveal whether the paramedical rescuers educated the patients undergoing the urgent pre-hospitalization care, and whether the rescuers' educational performance depended on their own level of education completed. The survey concluded that the university educated paramedical rescuers achieved much better educational performance than those having completed vocational high-school or general high-school education.
