Health care professional awereness about of psych-social intervention care
DAŠKOVÁ, Veronika
Awareness of psychosocial intervention care among healthcare professionals Abstract Aims, research questions and hypotheses: The aim of the research is to evaluate the awareness of healthcare professionals about psychosocial intervention care. Goal 1: Identify the real situation in psychosocial intervention care. Goal 2: Identify the possibilities of offering and using psychosocial intervention care in healthcare facilities. Methods and research file: Quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques were used. A quantitative survey was conducted using questionnaires distributed to healthcare professionals in selected organizations (Liberec and Jičín Regional Hospital and University Hospital Hradec Králové). The size of the research group is 170 respondents. A qualitative part was realized with semi-structured interviews with peers in the same organizations. In total, we reached five peers. Results and conclusions: The research shows that health professionals perceive their work as mentally and physically demanding. The difficulty of the healthcare profession is perceived through all age categories, across disciplines and regardless of the length of practice. Half of the respondents considered a change of a job due to mental and/or physical demands. More than half of health care professionals are aware of psychosocial intervention care system. The survey further shows that healthcare professionals find themselves in extreme mental stress that would potentially require psychosocial intervention care. Only a low percentage of healthcare professionals will use this service. A qualitative survey shows that healthcare professionals are afraid of loss of anonymity when using psychosocial intervention care. This is related to mistrust in peers. From a peer point of view, it is important to be more aware of this service, helping healthcare professionals in their psychologically demanding occupation, which will increase their use and efficiency. The output of this thesis will be a proposal to include topics on psychosocial intervention care in regular training for employees.
