One of the areas concerning the medical literacy is the first aid giving. The aim of this diploma thesis is to answer the question whether the skills of beginning teachers concerning the first aid are on a sufficient level and whether the teachers are able to react adequately in emergency situations. The theoretical part describes the bases of these skills. It analyses the accident rate of children, professional training of teachers, new methods and projects how to increase the medical literacy of teachers. The practical part provides the results of a questionnaire survey analysing the first aid skills of beginning teachers. It observes whether the level of teachers is sufficient and whether they are able to react properly in health endangering situations. It also discusses the opinions of teachers concerning the first aid giving and the general vision of the first aid area in school environment. The conclusion of the survey shows that the teachers' first aid skills are not up to standard and that teachers assess the professional training concerning the first aid as insufficient. The thesis offers possible changes which would develop the skills of beginning teachers. Keywords health, health literacy, first aid, health care, beginning teacher

Topic: Level of knowledge and skills of first aid on primary school. Abstract: This thesis aims to examine and compare the first aid level of knowledge of pupils, focusing the 3th & 5th classes on primary schools in Prague, in a small town and in a village. The work is divided into two main parts, to the theoretical and practical one. The theoretical part consists of four chapters. The first chapter defines what first aid is and what its types are. The second charter covers emergency lines and basic components of the Integrated Rescue System. The third chapter maps the sources of information, where pupils at primary school can learn about first aid. The fourth chapter deals with the model emergency procedures in selected areas. In the introduction of practical part are research hypotheses and methods specified. The research itself was made by questionnaire. The chosen procedure was a first step to map the level of knowledge of first aid. When developing the questionnaire there were given situations in which children can actually occur and be the only savior at hand. Based on the information collected, the training program for this age category was set. After some time period, the effectiveness of training program was verified and the level of knowledge for pupils in Prague, in a small town and village was...

The present diploma thesis focuses on equine-related traumatic injuries. Such injuries occur due to a fall off the horseback and / or during handling or care for a horse. The primary reason for focusing on this specific type of injuries was an increasing incidence of equine- related injuries due to a growing interest in horse riding as a leisure and sports activity. The theoretical part is divided into several chapters devoted to types and mechanisms of equine-related traumatic injuries, injury prevention, and specific first aid after a fall off the horseback. Information sources for the thesis were identified in the Czech National Medical Library, with most information extracted from the MEDLINE database. Other sources included the Regional Medical Library, the library of the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Information, the regional library, and professional online resources. Methodology: The second part of the diploma thesis presents the results of a quantitative research and analysis of data extracted from medical records. The data were collected retrospectively for the years 2015 - 2017 in out-patient, standard in-patient and ICU units of a regional hospital. Objectives: To track incidence of equine-related traumatic injuries and analyse the major causes. Results: Over the three-year...

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) resists excessive anterior translation and internal rotation of the tibia during athletic activities and stabilizes the knee. In the US, annually, over 200,000 cases of ACL disruption are reported. The impact on the quality of life of the subject and its cost to healthcare is tremendous. The objectives of this study were to determine any significant associations between the size of the tibial eminence and ACL injury and to develop a finite element model for structural analysis. The results suggest that the size of the tibial eminence plays a role in loading the ACL and is therefore a risk factor. In addition to the epidemiological analysis, a finite element model of the knee was developed that with added modifications can be used for complex knee loading situations. The results in this thesis may be used to develop strategies for ACL injury prevention and rehabilitation. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Etude 1 – Objectifs : Évaluer l’efficacité des programmes diffusés par Internet dans la réduction des symptômes de troubles du comportement alimentaire (TCA) et identifier les variables modératrices de l’efficacité. Résultats : Les programmes identifiés étaient efficaces dans la réduction des symptômes et des facteurs de risque de TCA avec une taille d’effet variant de faible à moyenne par rapport aux groupes contrôles. Les analyses de modération ont révélé que la sévérité des symptômes de TCA ne modérait pas l’effet de l’intervention. Etude 2 – Objectifs : Évaluer l’efficacité d’un programme de prévention des TCA par Internet (ProYouth) dans la réduction des symptômes de TCA. Résultats : Chez les individus qui ont complété au moins 4 questionnaires de suivi, la durée de participation au programme était une variable prédictrice de la diminution de la fréquence des crises d’hyperphagie (β = 0,01, p < 0,001). Etude 3 – Objectifs : Diffuser par Internet un guide de psychoéducation français visant à aider les personnes qui souffrent de symptômes de TCA et explorer les caractéristiques des utilisateurs et l’utilité perçue du guide. Résultats : Le guide a été téléchargé 1174 fois et 312 participants ont déclaré avoir téléchargé le guide pour obtenir des informations et par curiosité. Quarante-deux des 50 utilisateurs ayant répondu au second questionnaire ont trouvé le guide « utile » ou « très utile ». Conclusion : Internet pourrait s’avérer particulièrement bénéfique dans la prévention des TCA chez les étudiants français. Promouvoir des informations fiables par l’intermédiaire d’Internet pourrait optimiser l’éducation aux TCA en population générale. / Study 1 – Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of Internet-based programs in decreasing eating disorder (ED) symptoms and to identify moderator variables of effects. Results: Compared to control conditions, Internet-based programs were successful in decreasing ED symptoms and risk factors with small to moderate between-group effect sizes. Moderator analyses revealed no impact of participant risk status on intervention effects. Study 2 – Aims: To evaluate an ED Internet-based prevention program efficacy (ProYouth) on decreases of disordered eating symptoms. Results: Among individuals having completed at least 4 monitoring assessments, time since registration was found to significantly predict decreases in binge eating (β = -.01, p < .001). Study 3 – Aims: To disseminate, through Internet, French guidelines for providing first aid to individuals suffering from ED symptoms and to explore the user characteristics and the perceived usefulness of the guidelines. Results: The guidelines were downloaded 1174 times and 312 participants have reported downloading the guidelines to increase their knowledge, or out of curiosity. Forty-two of the 50 users having completed the second questionnaire found the guidelines “useful” or “very useful.” Conclusion: The Internet might have great potential to prevent EDs among French college students. Promoting reliable information through the Internet could help to increase ED mental health literacy and would therefore be an important step towards improving access to ED treatment.

Police officers today run the risk of being exposed to events that others will never experience during their lifetime. Many of these experiences may lead to traumatic memories that, in worst case, could make them never wanting to work as a police officer again. How can the police get better at taking care of their employees? This study aims to shed light over how the crisis-supporters perceive their learning within the activity of debriefing. The research questions asked are:” what moments in debriefing do the crisis-supporters identify as a learning activity?” and ”in what ways do the crisis-supporters think they can develop professionally during their practice of debriefing?”. This study investigates the phenomenon of crisis support from a sociocultural theory. The result show that the crisis-supporters feel that they get more knowledge when they debrief police officers compared to when participating in formal education. The results also show that verbal communication is very important in the practice of debriefing. Finally the results show that the interaction between crisis-supporters and police officers plays an important role in both crisis-supporters as well as police officers learning. / Poliser löper varje dag risk att erfara händelser som någon annan aldrig någonsin kommer att få uppleva under sin livstid. Många av dessa händelser kan leda till traumatiska minnen som i värsta fall gör att de inte kan fortsätta arbeta som polis. Hur kan polisen bli bättre på att ta hand om sina medarbetare? Denna studie syftar till att ge lyse åt hur krisstödjarna uppfattar sitt lärande inom krissamtal. Vi ställde frågor om ”vilka moment i krisstödet ser krisstödjarna ett lärande?” och ”på vilka sätt kan krisstödjarna utvecklas inom sitt krisstödjande?”. Studien undersöker detta genom att med hjälp av det sociokulturella perspektivet belysa lärandet hos krisstödjarna i krissamtal. Fem krisstödjare inom polisen har intervjuats med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Datamaterialet analyserades deduktivt med hjälp av tematisk analys och med sociokulturell teori som utgångspunkt. Resultatet visar bland annat att krisstödjarna får mer kunskap av att hålla krissamtal än att delta i formella utbildningar. Det visar även att språket är fundamentalt för hur krisstödjarna kommunicerar med varandra och de drabbade samt att samspelet mellan krisstödjare och drabbade spelar en viktig roll i lärandet.

Materials and methods: This is a field-based, descriptive-exploratory, quantitative approach developed with the Educational Mentors of Elementary School of the public network of the city of Maringá, PR. Two groups of professionals were interviewed: submitted to oral and visual intervention; and submitted to oral and visual intervention, reinforced by other visual means, and the control group, prior to the intervention. A questionnaire was applied divided into three parts: demographic data, knowledge / domain on dental trauma in general, and avulsion in particular; and the third, knowledge / domain about the attitudes to be adopted in relation to the immediate management of avulsed teeth. In the questionnaire, an indirect scale was used to measure the participants' attitudes, the Likert scale and for the interpretation of the answers a score scale of 0 to 4 was used. The intervention it self was the institution of a Continuing Education Program to empower those involved. The internal consistency of the instrument was measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. To measure the difference between the assigned scores, the KruskalWallis test was used, followed by Dunn's multipl... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

This thesis deals with first aid knowledge among the general public. The theoretical part focuses on the basic aspects of first aid. The practical part is a survey of the results of the research, which are then evaluated and commented upon in the discussion. The research group consisted of people of working age. To obtain the data used quantitative research, carried out by polling, through a questionnaire. Based on its evaluation were confirmed or refuted in advance the hypothesis. These hypotheses were statistically verified. Research suggests that the level of knowledge of the general public is not sufficient.

Toxicology is a scientific discipline dealing with the influences of dangerous substances on living organisms. The negative effects of some substances have been known since the prehistoric times and the human race has had to face them until today. The impact of these substances on human organisms may be caused either deliberately (e. g. misuse of chemical substances during war conflicts) or unintentionally (e. g. intoxication by poisonous gases released from fire). The current knowledge of the field of toxicology enable to characterise the dangerous substances, to define their effective, toxic and lethal doses and concentrations and to give first aid to the people affected. The knowledge of the first aid procedure in case of intoxication of poisonous gases is crucial for the rescue of human life and moderation of the toxic effects. In connection to the universal first aid procedure, i. e. the patient's rescue out of the contaminated area and calling of the rescue service, the person affected has to receive an adequate immediate pre-hospital care. Based on these findings, procedures used in cases of intoxication in pre-hospital emergency care and emergency medicine are listed. The aim of the theoretical part of this diploma thesis is a comprehensive overview of current theoretical and professional knowledge in the field of chemistry, toxicology and emergency medicine. This knowledge is subsequently applied to the overall management of pre-hospital emergency care for patients intoxicated with toxic gases. The research part includes a retrospective statistical analysis of the number of cases of carbon monoxide intoxication in Vysocina Region, application of theoretical knowledge in the form of analyses of cases of intoxication and creation of a preventive programme with the help of a questionnaire survey which asked the public about their awareness of the risks and dangers of carbon monoxide. In addition, educational material was created. The thesis also tried to answer the research question "How serious is poisonous gas intoxication in pre-hospital emergency care and emergency medicine?" From the point of view of pre-hospital emergency care, the average daily death rate caused by poisonous gas intoxications in the Vysocina Region is four patients per year. When this number is compared with the total number of patients' deaths, it shows a less serious problem. The most common source of carbon monoxide poisoning turned out to be a gas appliance. The rescuers recorded the highest number of carbon monoxide detector activations in 2015. Informing the public in the form of a questionnaire survey has clearly shown that there is persisting confusion of carbon monoxide properties with carbon dioxide ones. This diploma thesis is aimed at specialists providing pre-hospital emergency care i. e. health rescue services and also fire rescue services for the purpose of statistical comparisons with other providers and subjects, or for educational purposes in the context of crisis preparedness. In addition, the work is recommended to the general public to ensure greater awareness of poisonous gas intoxications. This thesis brought a comprehensive overview of this issue which can be used for the purpose of informing, educating and creating the basis for further comparison.
