Fear and anxiety in connection with acute cases
ŠČERBOVÁ, Nikola
Fear and distress in relation to emergency situations. The purpose of this essay is to learn about position of health rescuers and patients in acute, life and health endangering situations. The objective of the work was to identify how patients feel in crisis and acute situations and what type of intervention is most effective. Method: the research included two sections. The first section was in the form of a pilot research based on qualitative method of non-standardized interview with limited number of patients and health rescuers. Results of this pilot research served as basis for selection of specific circumstances and issues related to fear and distress and questions were formulated for an extended research performed with larger group of respondents. The group of pilot research respondents included 5 health rescuers and 4 patients rescued by ambulance. The consequential extended research was conducted with 8 health rescuers and 8 patients rescued by ambulance. The research took place in South Bohemia and Karlovy Vary region. Results: rescuers are aware of the fact that fear and distress of patients are important factors affecting the overall condition of the patient. They would appreciate extensions of their professional training by special training focused on this subject, since most of them act only based on their own experience in such situation. Results of the research indicate that patients do not differ between terms fear and distress. Most of patients experience distress caused by something unknown rather than fear from specific danger or situation. In most cases patients consider psychological support and help provided by health rescuers to be positive.
