FORMÁČKOVÁ, Jitka
In this bachelor thesis, basic findings, acts and proposals how ZZS (Health Rescue Service - HRS) can safgeuard a patient with a mental disorder are summed up. The first, theoretical part of the thesis, is dedicated to the most common psychopathological conditions which endanger the patients and their neighbourhood and require an immidiate psychiatric or another help to stabilize the patients´s pathological behaviour. The second part is dedicated to processing of the aquired data concerning the present state in this issue. Namely it deals with paramedics questioning, how they are acquainted and what experience they have regarding mentally ill patients, possibly what could be improved and refined in their treatment. In the other part, information from admitting wokers at psychiatric wards is processed with regard to their view of cooperation with HRS. The aim of the thesis was to find out if standards concerning the treatment of mentally ill patients exist in the Czech Republic, or in chosen HRS centres, and if yes, whether paramedics know and follow them or whether they proceed according to the procedures proposed in literature. Further on, to analyze what common knowledge regarding the issue of psychiatry paramedics have. The next goal was to verify to which extend the cooperation between HRS and other parts of IZS (integrated rescue system - IRS) works during the safeguard of a mentally ill patient, and what is the satisfaction of the cooperation between HRS and psychiatric wals Through the analysis of the acquired information, it was found out that there are standards concerning the mentally ill treatment, but only in frame of nursing care, not pre-hospital care. Paramedics know about them, but mainly they proceed in accordance with the studied literature, findings of their colleagues or their own experience. The cooperation between HRS and other parts of IRS was assessed as a good one, as well as the cooperation of HRS with psychiatric wards. However, several problems concerning insufficient mutual communication were spotted.
