Application paramedic in a medical facility
ŠTĚPÁNEK, Marek
The title of the presented bachelor's thesis is: The application of paramedics in a medical facility. The theoretical part focuses on the possible employment of paramedics, i.e. in pre-medical and medical care. It then deals with the education, competences and lifelong learning of paramedics and nurses together with a mention of their motivation. The practical part employs the qualitative method of research. Data collection was carried out by means of a semi-structured interview. The researched group consists of 10 paramedic graduates from selected hospitals. The interviews were focused on the motivation for entering the medical facility, the possibility of their employment and what problems they face upon arrival. The aim of this study was to ascertain what problems the newly-employed paramedics encounter, and how they can be utilized in the facilities. Another goal was to find out what motivated them to start working in a medical facility. It was discovered that the main motivation was the lack of job vacancies or it concerned less specialised paramedic services care. It emerged that the difficulty with the employment of paramedics is the preference of licensed practical nurses with a specialisation, even though a paramedic possesses more competences. However, this is understandable because of the greater versatility of nurses. Nevertheless, the paramedics concurred that, after their integration, the situation on their wards met with their expectations. The main problem, which this study attempts to point out, is connected with the lack of job vacancies in EMS. This was the reason for many paramedics to start working in a medical facility instead of EMS, just to find a job position.
