The current coronavirus disease has a global impact, but healthcare professionals play a vital role and are one of the most exposed groups. Stress in mental health of nursing has long been recognized as an impact on individual performance, illness and job retention. Since the beginning of the pandemic, health professionals have struggled to work harder, are at risk of transmitting the infection to themselves and their loved ones, so they are often separated from them. They experience discomfort due to the use of more protective equipment. Further more, they are exposed to stressful situations, when a large number of young and older people die due to insufficient capacity of beds and ventilators, they decide on human lives, and who will be given priority care. Therefore, it is natural for employees, that they are getting to be depressed, scared, anxious, irritable, sleep deprived or use alcohol.

The Criminal Offence of Failure to Provide Assistance in the Context of Healthcare Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the specifics of the criminal offence of failure to provide assistance which arise when the perpetrator is a healthcare worker. The thesis analyses the conditions under which the obligation to provide assistance arises from affiliation to a healthcare profession applies, and the content of this obligation. Given that the exercise of a healthcare profession is an activity significantly regulated by non-criminal regulations, the obligation in question is interpreted in the context of the entire legal order. The initial proposition is that the obligation in question is narrower than literal interpretation of criminal law provisions may imply, if interpreted in isolation. Contrary to the general assumption, both the range of persons to whom the provision applies, as well as the conditions under which the obligation arises, and quality of the required level of the assistance, are limited. In its first part, the paper first deals with the definition of key terms (with focus on the concept of a healthcare worker) and defines the basic obligations that the legal system imposes on healthcare workers. The subsequent part is devoted to explications of the criminal offence of failure to provide...

The aim of the research of the practical part is finding out in what circumstances health workers are attacked, their experience with self-defence and whether they are interested in education in the field of self-defence. From the findings, then try to create a few simple techniques that healthcare professionals could use in the event of an attack. The research was conducted by a semi-structured interview with eleven healthcare professionals. The results showed that verbal aggression is experienced by all interviewed healthcare professionals. Some of them then reported experience even with a physical assault. Furthermore, it was found that even though only a small part of respondents has little experience with self-defence, the majority of respondents showed interest in a self-defence course. The paper also describes a few simple self-defence techniques that can be easily used either in the exercise of the profession or in personal life. This bachelor thesis can be used as a source of information in the field of self-defence for both health workers and non-health professionals.
