Amputation injuries and their treatment
VITERA, Ondřej
This bachelor's thesis called loss "Injuries and the treatment" is divided into two parts, a theoretical one and a practical one. The theoretical part is at its beginning focused on the history of amputation injuries. These are described from the very first references in Paleolithic up to nowadays. Subsequently, amputations are sorted out according to their location on human body. Considering the topic of amputations, the issue of phantom limb and replantation is also described. A part of the thesis is also devoted to non-professional first aid during loss injuries and to professional aid provided by medical rescue workers during pre-hospital urgent aid. The practical part includes a qualitative research using semi-structured interviews. The aim of the qualitative research is to compare first aid knowledge of loss injuries by joinery students, general nursing students and medical rescue worker students. On the basis of this aim, three research questions were given in the qualitative research. These questions were made to find out the first aid knowledge of medical rescue workers, general nurses and joiners. Due to the topic of the thesis, professional medical training of joiners was examined. For gaining necessary data, interviews with 12 participants were carried out. These participants were discussing 10 questions and their answers were recorded with their prior approval. These data were further divided into 11 categories. The research survey showed that those medical rescue workers who were interviewed had insufficient knowledge of the issue of loss injuries. The survey also showed that general nursing students had insufficient knowledge of non-professional first aid and joinery students had insufficient medical training. Despite these shortages, the results can be used for deeper and more specific understanding of this issue and for optimization of provided healthcare. This knowledge can be useful not only for the examined fields of study but also for non-expert public.
