The purpose of this thesis is to make a survey of the growth and development of safety. Safety-consciousness in the individual may be developed by determining the educational contributions that have been made in the field of safety by industrial and social organizations.

First aid represents the first and extremely important stage in the emergency medical procedure. The necessity to provide first aid may arise at any time as the current modern era poses numerous new risks which may cause many extraordinary events with consequences for individuals and groups of people or even for entire populations. Therefore the professional training of the population should stress first aid as it may reduce vulnerability and improve resistance of the population against extraordinary events, the number of which keeps growing. The objective of the thesis was to assess whether the civilian population is prepared to provide first aid in case of an extraordinary event. The research methods to meet the mentioned objective and to obtain the information necessary for results processing included a questionnaire and analytical examination. The questionnaire consisted of 15 previously prepared questions. The questions in the questionnaire were divided into four parts based on specific formulated objectives. The questionnaire survey was conducted in the South Bohemian region in the town of Tábor. The target group consisted of 250 respondents of both sexes, selected at random in four different age categories. The first group of respondents consisted of respondents aged 10- 20, the second category 20- 40, the third category 40- 60 and the last one consisted of respondents over 60 years of age. The preparedness of the population was examined at three levels, i.e. at the level of knowledge, level of emotions and experience level and the level of motivation. The formulated hypothesis: ?Civilian population is ready to provide first aid in agreement with applicable first aid standards? has been confirmed only partly at those three levels. The thesis also produced some secondary results concerning assessment of vulnerability and resistance of the population during the provision of first aid under extraordinary circumstances. One of the secondary outcomes was a finding that seniors seem to be by far most vulnerable and, on the contrary, the category aged 20- 40 seems to be the most resistant. Within the possibilities and scope of my thesis I have attempted to contribute to identification of important aspects that potentially influence the willingness of people to provide first aid and to highlight the importance of first aid training.

This thesis is devoted to Topic: Knowledge level of first aid procedures among teachers of seleced primary schools in Karlovy Vary. In the theoretical part my focus is on the term pre- medical first aid, the principles of providing it, the legislation associated with first aid, mentioned are also the first-aider's safety, the principles of calling professional medical help, there are also the press line phone numbers stated. The thesis contains principles of first aid provided especially to children in selected injury and non-injury conditions. In practical part of this thesis I present quantitative research through questionnaire which was addressed to pedagogues of selected primary and secondary schools in Karlovy Vary. The data obtained were processed into graphs or tables. The main aim of this thesis was to discover the knowledge level of pre-medical first aid in teachers. The questionnaire evaluation suggests that the knowledge level of pre-medical first aid practices in by me selected teachers could be graded as B. It was discovered that the years of pedagogical experience in by me selected teachers might have an impact on the theoretical knowledge of providing pre-medical first aid. It is evident from my research that the best average grade for answering knowledge questions in questionnaire...

The work deals with the quality of student's knowledge of the second year master's degree Pedagogical Faculty of Charles University in Prague. These students as future teachers not only have to be experts in their field of study, but also shall be able to provide first aid if necessary. The theoretical part focuses on the integrated rescue system, the legislative definition of first aid, CPR adult and child, coma, shock, hemorrhage and resuscitation using an automatic defibrillator and allergic conditions. The aim of the practical part determine the level of student's knowledge of the second year master's degree Pedagogical Faculty of Charles University in Prague in first aid during an epileptic seizure, adult CPR, bleeding and knowledge of symptoms of hypoglycemia, meaning the recovery position and telephone numbers of the integrated rescue system. Quantitative research tool is a questionnaire survey. Finally, in the practical part there are suggestions that help to improve the quality of teachers and trainers in first aid.

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.
