This thesis deals with the knowledge of high school students in providing first aid in the Příbram region. Providing first aid to the injured and saving their lives or health is a legal and moral obligation of all of us. There are many incidents that can cause serious or light injury. We should know the possible dangers, know how to act, and be able to provide first aid both to ourselves, to our closest, but to others as well. It is therefore necessary that the public is sufficiently educated in first aid so as to be able to respond adequately. In the Czech Republic it is necessary to include the subject of first aid into the school curriculum. Currently, however, neither teacher training in first aid is conceptually solved though the current legislation and related regulations generally prescribe training in first aid as an obligation for schools. Yet there are no specific standards or recommendations. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the topic of first aid, with the high school educational system and the education of teachers. Subsequently, we present the integrated rescue system, basic first aid terminology, sudden severe illnesses and the care for the injured. An integral part of the chapter is a brief description of selected statistical methods. Through basic mathematical operations, descriptive statistics, and the use of tables and graphs, the theoretical part gives an account and summary of large amounts of data. Descriptive statistics is followed by mathematical statistics. It includes a nonparametric and parametric testing. In this thesis we have set the objective of determining the degree of knowledge and skills of Příbram region high school students in providing first aid and of comparing the skills and knowledge of health students and students of different study programs. We have set two hypotheses: H1: "More than 2/3 of all surveyed high school students in Příbram region will score more than 50% of correct answers on the survey," and H2: "health profession students will achieve better results on this survey than students of other disciplines." In order to achieve the defined objectives and to verify the hypotheses we have compiled a questionnaire focusing on the area of first aid, carried out a questionnaire survey, and conducted statistical surveys using descriptive and mathematical statistics. The questionnaire consisted of closed questions. Three questions were of generally informative character and twenty questions focused particularly on the problems of first aid. There were four response options to the questions focused on first aid, only one of which was correct. By a random selection we picked out four out of fourteen secondary schools and the High School of Nursing and College of Health Příbram, hereinafter SZŠ. The project involved 295 students, a total of 154 girls and 141 boys, specifically 147 SZŠ students and 148 students from other high schools. The selective statistical sample consisted of 100 students of SZŠ and 100 students from other high schools. The questionnaire survey covered the period from March to May 2015. From the survey results it is clear that the surveyed knowledge is slightly above average in SZŠ students and reaches the average level in students of other high schools in Příbram region. The arithmetic average of the SZŠ students was 16 points out of 20 and only 13 of 20 points in students from other high schools. Only 13% of students achieved less than 50% of the correct answers. The results of the survey show that the objectives of the thesis were met and both hypotheses were confirmed. Nonetheless, a question arises: "Are the teachers adequately trained in first aid?" The answer follows from the incorrect answers of students. The results of the survey have been provided to the participating high schools which then could focus on potential problems in the area of first aid and their curriculum.

The title of this diploma thesis is knowledge and preparedness of the population to provide first aid in case of an extraordinary events. It is divided into two main parts, that is the theoretical part and the empirical part of the thesis. The theoretical part of this diploma thesis is contained in one main chapter named Current status that contains several subheads. In the consecutive successive subheads we define the definition of first aid and its history. Moreover they contain characteris-tics and division of the Slovakian Integrated rescue system and the activity of the IRS coordination center. Within first aid and its procedure, this diploma thesis contains cha-racterizations of the first approach to the befallen, the characteristics of the rescue chain and the appointment and detailed description of life-saving activities. The next subhead contains selection of dangerous accidents with the tendency of direct threat to life and their treatment in the means of first aid. Further away we created an individual subhead about the procedure at the casualty site with a large number of the befallen persons. A very important element of first aid is the psychological effect on the befallen. This is described in the subhead Providing of psychological first aid at the casualty site. The next subhead describes the most common myths, miscues and mistakes in providing of amateur first aid. Many amateur rescuers stand by inactively in situations when help is needed, they feel that their knowledge of providing first aid is not sufficient and they are afraid. All of these negative factors cost the befallen valuable seconds that are nee-ded for saving a life and that is why it´s important to increase the public awareness abo-ut providing first aid. The individual subhead about extraordinary events contains basic characteristics of this problem and the description of chosen, most commonly occurring extraordinary events that endanger the residents of Slovakia. Seeing that the chosen method of this diploma thesis is a questionnaire and subsequently statistical evaluation of acquired data, it was necessary to include the statistical methods in the theoretical part of the thesis. The last part of the theoretical part of this diploma thesis is the des-cription of basic descriptive statistics methods and the description of the mathematical statistics methods, that are applied in the empirical part of the thesis. The empirical part of this diploma thesis begins with an assessment of aims and two hypothesis, that focus on ascertaining of the degree of theoretical knowledge of civilians about the providing of first aid in different kinds of extraordinary events. The methodical part of the thesis describes the way of collecting the data using a questionna-ire, it closely describes the characteristics of object file, inquiry progression and results processing. The results describe individual questions and their evaluation and subsequ-ently course of statistical inquiry and comparing its results using the methods of des-criptive and mathematical statistics. The last chapter of this diploma thesis is focused on the discussion about acquired results from the individual questions inquiries and subse-quently the description of the results of statistical inquiry. This part of the thesis further away contains practical recommendations that emerge from acquired results and their application.

The key aim of this thesis was to create a complex and detailed guide for organization of a children's camp focusing on the first aid and population protection. Based on the guide, a lay reader will be able to create their own camp and that without any experience with the issue. Among partial aims, preparing material for camp's realization including the camp's narrative preparation, assessing program and games, and producing teaching materials for the program and camp leaders training were listed. Another partial aim was the camp execution and overall detailed assessment. In a theoretical part of the thesis, we took a closer look into the issue of free time pedagogy and its influence on child upbringing. We also wrote what kind and type of camps we know and what camp organization involves, including legislation, budget and financing, activities and program structure. In the thesis results, we describe an exact organization procedure of our own camp focusing on the first aid and population protection, which took place from July 30, 2017 to August 6, 2017 in Rajecká Lesná. The exact same procedure is described as a guide, which includes two parts, the preparation organized before the beginning of the camp and the camp's execution itself. The preparation part involves the grounds selection, budget and financing determination, and specifically determined monthly preparation schedule. The realization part includes the camp's motivational narrative, a whole-camp game, the manuals for camp leaders and a general framework program for the specific camp days. The days are individually stated in the precise timetable which includes a program prepared for the given camp focus. In the discussion, we assess the success of the camp execution along with the individual days description. We believe this thesis will serve as a basis for organization of the camps with the similar focus in the future.

A capacitação do leigo para atendimento em emergência é fundamental. O treinamento em primeiros socorros deve permitir a retenção e a aplicação do conhecimento. Conforme previsto no Código de Trânsito Brasileiro é obrigatório a todos os cidadãos que queiram obter a sua primeira habilitação ou tenham sua carteira de habilitação suspensa, freqüentar um curso teórico de 30 horas/aulas, o Curso de Formação de Condutores (CFC). Entre os temas abordados neste curso estão os primeiros socorros com carga horária total de seis horas/aulas. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: verificar a contribuição dos CFC na capacitação da população para o atendimento de primeiros socorros; avaliar o perfil e o preparo dos instrutores; verificar como são desenvolvidas as aulas; verificar quais os conteúdos oferecidos e identificar o nível de retenção do conteúdo adquirido. Os instrutores (sujeitos-1) foram caracterizados por entrevista e, as aulas assistidas para conhecimento do conteúdo, seguindo um guia de observação. Aplicou-se o mesmo questionário em três etapas aos candidatos à habilitação/renovação (sujeitos-2): pré (Etapa I), pós (Etapa II) e três meses após o CFC (Etapa III). Foram assistidas aulas de três instrutores nos períodos disponíveis e dos cursos de primeira habilitação e renovação. A amostra dos sujeitos-1 foi constituída de 2/3 (66,7%) do sexo feminino; idade entre 30 a 38 anos; 1/3 (33,4%) cursou o ensino superior e os outros dois concluíram o ensino médio; atuam há mais de cinco anos e, 2/3 (66,7%) trabalharam em mais de uma auto-escola; apenas 1/3 (33,4%) tem preparação pedagógica (magistério); 1/3 (33,4%) participou de curso de primeiros socorros oferecido pelo Corpo de Bombeiros. Observou-se semelhanças nas aulas, havendo distinção na didática do instrutor. Os conteúdos oferecidos estão baseados na cartilha veiculada pela Conselho Nacional de Trânsito (CONTRAN) e contém sete tópicos principais: introdução, omissão de socorro, seqüência das ações de primeiros socorros, acionamento de recursos em caso de acidente, verificação das condições gerais da vítima, cuidados com a vítima e exercícios. A amostra foi constituída por 100 sujeitos-2, sendo 71% masculina, idade média de 39,9 (±13,87) anos e 41,8% concluíram o ensino médio. Quanto ao desempenho dos sujeitos-2, observou-se que a nota média na Etapa I foi de 6,2, na II de 7,1 e na III de 6,4 com diferenças entre as Etapas I e II, II e III (p<0,0001). Não houve diferença significativa ao considerar as variáveis primeira habilitação/renovação, período ou instrutor. Ocorreu assimilação temporária do conteúdo sem retenção do conhecimento. O curso de primeiros socorros, de caráter obrigatório, parece não atender aos propósitos, visto que os candidatos à habilitação/renovação não retém o conhecimento adquirido. Sugere-se atenção ao risco do despreparo para atuar de maneira adequada em situação de emergência / Abstract: Two aspects are basic and are related to survival in out of the hospital emergency situations: first call to specialized services and the layperson's action. The layperson's qualification for attendance in emergency is fundamental. The training in first aid must allow to the retention and the application of the knowledge. As foreseen in the Code of Brazilian Transit it is required all the citizens who want to get their driver's license or have it suspense, to frequent the theoric course with 30 hours/lessons, the Courses of Formation of Conductors (CFC). Among the boarded subjects in this course there is the first aid with a total schedule six hours/lessons. The objectives of this study have been: to verify the CFC contribution in the qualification of the population for the first aid answer; evaluate the profile and the formation of instructors; to verify how the classes are developed; to verify which contents are offered and to identify the level of retention of the acquired content. The instructors (subjects-1) had been caracterized by interview and the classes attended for the knowledge of the contents, following a comment guide. The same questionnaire was applied in three stages to the candidates (subjects-1): pre (Stage I), post (Stage II) and after three months CFC (Stage III). It was attended classes of three instructors in the available periods. The sample of the subjects-1 constituted of 2/3 (66,7%) female, age among 30/ years, 1/3 (33,4%) attended a superior course and the other two had concluded high school, they have acted for more than five years and 2/3 (66,7%) have worked more than one driving school, only 1/3 (33,4%) have a pedagogical preparation, 1/3 (33,4%) have participated of the first aid course offered by the rescuers. It was observed semilanties in the classes, having distinction in the didactic of the instructors. The offered contents are based on the books propagated by the Conselho Nacional de Trânsito (CONTRAN) and it contains seven main topics: introduction, aid omission, sequence of the first aid actions, drive of resources in accident case, verification of the general conditions of the victim, cares with the victim and exercises. The sample of subjects-2 was constituted by 100, 71% male, average age of 39,9(±13,87) years and 41,8% had concluded high school. As the performance of the subjevts-2, it was observed that the average grade in Stage I was of 6,2, in the II of 7,1 and in the III of 6,4 with differences among Stages I and II, II and III (p<0,001). There wasn't a significant differences if considering the variable first qualification/ reneuval, period or instructor. Temporary assimilation of the content without retention of the knowledge. The required first aid course seems not to reach the intentions, since the licenses' driver doesn't hold back the acquired knowledge. So it's suggested to pay attention to the risk of the unpreparedness act in emergency situation / Mestrado / Enfermagem e Trabalho / Mestre em Enfermagem
