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:

Some innovations are termed ‘disruptive’, a designation that is normally applied to technology; examples include computers, digital cameras, and mobile phones. The term can also be applied to groups of workers, particularly if they are able to offer specific technical capabilities within a market at lower cost, but broadly equal and effective to that offered by traditional products or services. Paramedics could be described in this way and are a newly professionalised group, with distinctive capabilities in terms of responding to the needs of not just the acutely ill and injured, but increasin

Abstract:

This thesis examined the role and experiences of paramedics in Queensland when they encounter children exposed to domestic violence. These children, who may also be at risk of other types of abuse and neglect, often require support and sometimes protection. Paramedics are frequently the first healthcare professionals who respond to victims of domestic violence, including the children in the family. This multi-disciplinary study examined law, policy and social science, and conducted a survey exploring the role and experiences of paramedics, and identified ways to improve policy and practice, an

Shift work and work-related stress is a rising concern among the workforce population because of the potential link to cardiovascular disease (CVD). While these exposures are common in emergency services, there are few studies examining if these factors increase CVD risk among paramedics. The aim of this dissertation is to address this research gap. The first study examined neuroendocrine activity related to shift work and job strain. Shift workers (n=14) reported higher job strain than daytime workers (n=7) and exhibited neuroendocrine dysregulation through salivary biomarkers (alpha-amylase

The ambulance service is often called upon to respond to people experiencing mental health issues. Statistical figures support the increasing demand for paramedics to manage mental health patients.

Abstract:

Introduction: Existing literature on trauma and coping with traumatic events in paramedics has often concentrated on the concept of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), using quantitative pre-defined self-report measures to investigate symptoms and coping strategies, thereby preventing elaboration of these concepts. The concept of positive adaption or posttraumatic growth (PTG) has also largely been ignored. Furthermore, research has often focussed on emergency workers (EWs) within disaster situations, ignoring the impact of their day-to-day experiences, e.g. cardiac arrests and road traffic

Abstract:

Despite several therapeutic advances in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), there has been little overall improvement in the out-of-hospital, cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rates. Reports indicate that, although the incidence and outcome of OHCA vary across the globe, the median reported rates of survival at hospital discharge have remained below 10% for the 30 years preceding this study. One of the factors associated with this low survival rate is the deficient quality of the CPR provided during an OHCA by paramedics. Despite revised training standards, structured CPR training programmes an

Abstract:

Hot och våld mot ambulanspersonal blir allt vanligare i samhället. Frekvensen av hot och våld mot ambulanspersonal är hög. Ambulanspersonal rapporteras ha den största risken att utsättas för våld på arbetsplatsen då de oftast är dem som först möter patienten när akutsjukvård behövs. Arbetsrelaterat hot och våld på arbetsplatser påverkar arbetsgivare och arbetstagare i form av trivsel, ekonomi och vårdkvalitet. Syftet var att belysa det vetenskapliga underlaget för ambulanspersonalens upplevelse och hur de påverkas av arbetsrelaterat hot och våld. Metoden var litteraturöversikt där 18 vetenskap

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

Abstract:

Internationellt varierar ambulanspersonalens kompetensnivåer, utbildningssystem och utbildningsnivåer. I Sverige utförs ambulanssjukvård av legitimerade sjuksköterskor med eller utan specialistutbildning, vidareutbildade undersköterskor och läkare. I samband med ambulanssjukvård ska god hälso- och sjukvård utföras med hög patientsäkerhet. Ambulanspersonal behöver hög kompetens för att kunna bedöma subjektiva och objektiva data samt att vårda patienter i alla åldrar med akuta vårdbehov utifrån gällande lagstiftning, förordningar och riktlinjer. För att optimera prehospital omvårdnad kan personc

Abstract:

The study relates to the diverse Queensland community which contributes to the service provided by the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS). The QAS motive of improving the health and well being of all Queenslanders has remained stable since 1892, despite changes in organisational structure and the actions employed by paramedics in achieving motive. The QAS is primarily focused on the pre-hospital facets of health care and in this study the changing nature of paramedic actions are juxtaposed with the longevity of QAS motive. The research deals with QAS vocational training coupled with technologi

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Ambulanspersonal är en yrkesgrupp som i sitt yrkesutövanden riskerar att utsättas för traumatiska händelser som kan vara mycket påfrestande och stressfulla. Trots erfarenhet och träning blir vissa trauman stundtals övermäktiga och kan ge reaktioner som posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Risken att utveckla PTSD ökar med antalet upplevda trauman och prevalensen i yrkesgruppen är hög. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vilka traumatiska händelser ambulanspersonalen upplevde som mest stressfulla. Syftet var även att beskriva ambulanspersonalens upplevelser och hantering av posttraumatiskt stress
