Abstract:
This project developed three mathematical models for scheduling ambulances and ambulance crews and proceeded to solve each model for test scenarios based on real data. Results from these models can serve as decision aids for dispatching or relocating ambulances; and for strategic decisions on the ambulance crews needed each shift. This thesis used Flexible Flow Shop Scheduling techniques to formulate strategic, dynamic and real time models. Metaheuristic solutions techniques were applied for a case study with realistic data. These models are suitable for ambulance planners and dispatchers.

Abstract:
Stress levels experienced by ambulance personnel have been reported as being high, with most of the published research depicting constant re-exposure to trauma as being the most significant stressor within this cohort. The focus of this report is posttraumatic stress disorder. This condition has been aligned with this population’s high suicide rate; it is a leading factor of numerous mental health conditions, and a causative factor for a multitude of issues ranging from fatigue and burnout to the lack of coping strategies and support networks an employee may possess.

Abstract:
Facility Location problem refers to placing facilities (mostly vehicles) in appropriate locations to yield the best coverage with respect to other important factors which are specific to the problem. For instance in a fire station some of the important factors are traffic time, distribution of stations, time of the service and so on. Furthermore, budget limitation, time constraints and the great importance of the operation, make the optimum allocation very complex. In the past few years, several research in this area have been done to help managers by designing some effective algorithm to allo

Arbetet försvåras av flera faktorer, tiden med patienten är i regel kort, möjligheten till rådfrågning är liten, utrymmet och tillgången till hjälpmedel är begränsade. Trots det ställs höga krav på vården i ambulansen, många gånger samma krav som på vården på en akutmottagning. Ett av dessa krav är en god dokumentation, kraven på patientjournalen är desamma i ambulansen som i övriga vården. I journalen dokumenteras uppgifter om iakttagelser, omvårdnadså

Abstract:
År 2011 uppgick antalet personer som suiciderat i Sverige till 1387. Studier visar att den suicidbenägna patientens första kontakt med sjukvården är avgörande för hur det kommande vårdförloppet kommer att utvecklas. Ambulanspersonal är en av många yrkesgrupper som möter suicidbenägna patienter. Studier visar även på att om patienten möts av dåliga attityder så kan det medföra negativa konsekvenser för patienten. Syftet med studien var att översätta, re översätta och validera en engelsk enkät: the Suicide Behavior Attitude Questionnaire (SBAQ): för användning i den svenska ambulanssjukvården. M

Abstract:
It is commonly accepted that ambulance staff undertake a large amount of lifting and handling in their daily work. Their primary role is to provide pre-hospital care and to transport sick and injured people to hospital. The emergency nature of the job means that ambulance workers have to assist people who are incapable of moving themselves in awkward and potentially hazardous environments. While safer lifting policies have been introduced ambulance workers still lift weights which other healthcare workers can avoid. However since the introduction of manual handling regulations and more recentl

Abstract:
Syfte. Att beskriva omfattning och skillnader i ambulanspersonalens dokumenterade smärtbedömning utifrån kön och ålder vid akut insättande ryggsmärta. Bakgrund. Smärta och det lidande som medföljer är en vanligt förekommande sökorsak inom ambulanssjukvården. Akut ryggsmärta genererar ett stort lidande för patienten och studier avseende smärtbedömning vid akut ryggsmärta är ett område som är lite undersökt utifrån ett prehospitalt kontext. Generellt är forskning avseende ambulanssjuksköterskans nyanserade smärtbedömning och dokumentation mycket begränsad. Design. Studien genomfördes som en retr

Abstract:
The overriding goal of this work was to present information to ambulance command and control (AC2) operators in a manner that complemented their dispatchers decision making processes whilst minimising the effects of a number of identified complexities. It was theorised that presenting information in this manner would improve the decision making performance of the dispatchers. The initial stages of this work involved identifying the strategies that AC2 operators use when making decisions regarding the allocation of ambulances to emergency incidents and the complexities associated with these dec

Abstract:
The research explains whether the creation of a new social work role would benefit situations in ambulance work, what this role would look like, and provides recommendations for the education of this position. An ethnographic study included semi-structured interviews, observations, and a collection of vignettes, with data collected over 300 hours while riding on ambulances in various locations. Data collected suggests that a social work role would provide needed psychosocial care during ambulance calls and would possess unique qualities and challenges from other traditional social work roles.

Abstract:
The ambulance service through one of the most visible areas of health care provision is also one of the least researched. This study presents an analysis to how members of this particular group manage their occupational identity in the wider social milieu. By an examination of the cultural rules of the organisation and the implications of both history and occupational relations, this study provides a holistic examination of how such identity is managed and maintained on the various stages that ambulance workers perform their daily working activities. As will be explained in the study, during t
