Abstract:

This thesis used qualitative methods to investigate the professional socialisation of university educated paramedics from Australia and the United Kingdom. The study tested existing professional socialisation theories, taken from other health disciplines, against the paramedical context and developed of a specific model depicting the professional socialisation of university educated paramedics.

Abstract:

Paramedics are responsible for the care of patients requiring emergency assistance in the out of hospital setting. These health care providers need to make many decisions during the course of an emergency call. This thesis on paramedic clinical decision-making includes two studies, intended to determine which decisions paramedics make that are most important for patient safety and clinical outcome, and what thinking strategies paramedics rely on to make decisions. Forty-two decisions were found to be most important for outcome and safety. The highest decision density of an emergency call is du

Paramedic science students undergo additional clinical training in hands-on skills and clinical reasoning by attending clinical placements. Little is known of the efficacy of paramedic clinical placements or the student’s clinical reasoning skills during training. This study documents the paramedic placement experience and the clinical reasoning responses of paramedic science students. Two instruments were introduced: the Clinical Placement Questionnaire (CPQ), which measures placement experiences; and the Sequence of Learning Instrument (SOLI) and accompanying plotting technique, which allow

Abstract:

During the first aid process, when patients are threatened by poor medical conditions, ambulance paramedics are required to administer emergency treatment based on instruc- tions provided by a remote emergency doctor through voice communication. However, such voice communication is always limited in expressing abundant detailed information for the patient. This thesis presents a framework for a stereoscopic and intelligent telemedicine sys- tem that can provide 3D live video communication between paramedics and emergency doctors. The proposed system captures 3D video from the paramedic headse

Abstract:

A theory-practice gap has previously been proposed as existing in paramedic education. This proposal has been based on the literature, predominantly drawn from nursing, which describes the phenomenon as being a detrimental lack of congruence between the theory that is taught in the classroom and the experiences of students in the practice environment. This submission proposes, rather, that there is a 'paramedic praxis' where the relationship between theory and practice is such that the 'gaps' discussed in the nursing literature do not manifest in the same, potentially problematic, way.

Community paramedicine is an evolving specialist stream of paramedic practice and aims to provide patients in the community with options to navigate more efficiently the healthcare system and avoid unnecessary presentations to a hospital emergency department.

This study utilised constructivist grounded theory to explore the attitudes, engagement and perception of current Australasian paramedics in relation to CPD. The study found paramedics have not significantly modified their engagement in CPD/LLL despite professional registration. There is, however some confusion surrounding what constitutes CPD.

The study facilitated the creation of a framework of paramedic CPD, which includes CPD models; PDP; reflective practices; and LLL. The framework

Abstract:

This study explored the needs of children with autism and their parents during out-of-hospital interactions with paramedics. Paramedics and parents of children with autism provided rich accounts of their interactions and experiences through semi-structured interviews. The study concluded that paramedics are meeting the emergency health needs of the children on the spectrum and are willing to link children and their families to the other services they need. Parents value the development of individualised emergency care plans and can offer expertise about their child's needs. The development of

Abstract:

Aim: To examine the adoption of CCDS by paramedics, including the impact of CCDS on paramedic role and practice. Methods: Systematic review of CCDS in emergency care followed by a cluster-randomised controlled trial (C-RCT) of CCDS with a qualitative component involving 42 paramedics at two study sites. Results: 19/20 studies identified for inclusion in the systematic review were from the Emergency Department setting, with no studies from prehospital care. The focus of the studies was on process of care (19/20) rather than patient outcomes (5/20). Positive impacts were reported in 15/19 (79%)

Abstract:

Psykisk ohälsa är ett stort folkhälsoproblem i Sverige. Ångestsyndrom drabbar cirka 25% av befolkningen och årligen begår cirka 1100 personer suicid. Ambulanssjuksköterska har en bred kompetens gällande somatiska åkommor men i grund- och specialistutbildningen läggs liten vikt på psykisk ohälsa. Detta kan medföra att patienter med psykisk ohälsa ej bedöms och vårdas optimalt. Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhus genomförde 1 oktober – 31 december 2015 ett projekt, Prehospital Psykiatrisk Resurs (PPR). Projektet innebar att en bedömningsbil, normalt enkelbemannad av en ambulanssjuksköterska, bemanna

Abstract:

The introduction of legislation governing the management of mental illness in Queensland led to complaints from paramedics and their industrial association to the Commissioner of the Queensland Ambulance Service regarding the inadequacy of education and training to fulfil their new practice obligations. The industrial association asserted that their members were ill-prepared, insufficiently skilled, and unsupported professionally to make clinical judgements and decisions about mental illness in the pre-hospital emergency care setting. Furthermore, they raised concerns that their members were a

Syfte: Undersöka sjuksköterskor inom ambulanssjukvårdens erfarenheter och upplevelser av hot och våld i arbetslivet. Metod: Empirisk studie med kvalitativ ansats. Sex semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Materialet analyserades med en innehållsanalys. Resultat: Hot om våld och patienter med ett hotfullt beteende är en del av arbetet i ambulansen enligt informanterna. Med stöd av direktiv och riktlinjer från arbetsgivfaren prioriteras personalens säkerhet alltid först och vid varje patientkontakt görs en samlad analys av hotbilden. Ambulanssjuksköterskans bemötande är viktigt vid mötet a
