Nursing is a high risk profession for injury. A Canadian survey reports many nurses are in poor physical and emotional health; they sustain more musculoskeletal and violence related injuries than other occupational groups. In Ontario, an injury management approach called Early Return to Work (RTW) requires injured workers, including nurses, to go back to work before full recovery. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board cite this approach as beneficial to both the employer and employee. This study uses an institutional ethnographic approach to examine critically the RTW process from the standpoint of injured registered nurses. Through interviews and mapping activities with nurses, other health professionals and managers, a rendering of the social organization of hospital injury management emerges. The findings suggest that the implementation of RTW is complicated and difficult for nurses, their families and hospital employers. Injured nurses engage in significant amounts of domestic, rehabilitation and accommodation work in order to participate in the RTW process. When the returning nurse is unable to engage in full duties hospital operations become disorganized. Collective agreements and human resources procedures limit the participation of injured nurses in creative and/or new roles that could utilize their knowledge and skills. As a result, nurses are assigned to duties, which hamper them from returning to their pre-injury positions and cause their employment with the hospital to be reconsidered. The unsuccessful return of injured nurses to employment is counter to provincial retention initiatives, which seek to sustain an adequate cadre of nurses ready and able to care for the increasing health care needs of an aging population. Sites of change which could support and promote the successful return of these injured workers to nursing work are identified in this study.

Magistro baigiamajame darbe „Nusikaltimų aukų pagalbos ir paramos sistema Lietuvoje“ nagrinėjama Lietuvoje egzistuojanti pagalbos ir paramos nusikaltimų aukoms sistema, jos sudedamosios dalys ir elementai. Tema yra mažai nagrinėta ir aktuali tuo, kad tai naujas socialinių paslaugų sektorius Lietuvoje, kadangi iš esmės tuo susirūpinta vos prieš dešimtmetį, todėl dar nėra atlikta šios sistemos kompleksinė analizė, nėra tyrimų, kitų išsamesnių apibendrinančių darbų. Šio baigiamojo darbo objektas – nusikaltimų aukų pagalbos ir paramos sistema Lietuvoje, tikslas – pateikti rekomendacijas sistemai patobulinti. Siekiant šio tikslo buvo sprendžiami tokie uždaviniai kaip, valstybinių įstaigų bei nevyriausybinių organizacijų veiklos pagalbos nusikaltimų aukoms srityje nagrinėjimas ir vertinimas, pagalbos ir paramos nusikaltimo aukai sistemos Lietuvoje turinio atskleidimas, remiantis teisine literatūra ir teisės aktais, statistiniais duomenimis, internetinių svetainių informacija bei kitais informacijos šaltiniais, kai kurių Europos Sąjungos valstybių narių pagalbos ir paramos sistemos nagrinėjimas, pagalbos teikimo labiausiai pažeidžiamoms nusikaltimų aukoms – moterims ir vaikams analizė ir vertinimas, remiantis ekspertų apklausa.

This theme has not been widely researched and is relevant because it is a new sector of social services in Lithuania. For the reason that this issue was raised only ten years ago there is no complex analysis of this system; there are no researches and other comprehensive resumptive works. The object of this final thesis is the system of help and support for crime victims in Lithuania; its purpose is to give recommendations for the improvement of the system. For the attainment of the purpose there were set the following tasks: the research and evaluation of the activity of public companies and nongovernmental organizations in the field of help and support for crime victims; the revelation of the content of system of help and support for crime victims in Lithuania on the ground of juridical literature, legal acts, data, information of Internet pages and other information sources; the analysis of some help and support systems of the member states of the European Union; the analysis and evaluation of help and support provided to the most vulnerable crime victims – women and children on the ground of the inquiry of experts. Considering the object and purpose of the research in this Master’s thesis there were analyzed international and national legal acts regulating the... [to full text]

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 thesis deals with the protection of victims of crimes, especially from the point of view of the formal aspect of their guarantee. The aim of the thesis is to identify the rights of victims belonging to such persons by law, taking into account the shortcomings of the law adopted for the protection of victims and its subsequent amendment, together with the concrete implications for the status of the victim. For this purpose, the work is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the necessary definition of the concepts that are crucial to this work, such as the victim, the victim and the particularly vulnerable victim, as well as the determination of the basic distinguishing features between the concepts of crime victim and the victim. The second chapter deals with the legislative development of the protection of victims of crime, at international, European and Czech level. At the same time, this chapter briefly summarizes the legislative development of the adoption of the first independent law on the protection of victims in the territory of the Czech Republic. The third chapter presents the most important shortcomings of the original wording of the Act on the Protection of Victims, which have been widely criticized by the authors of the said law and which have been manifested...

Contudo, a Fonoaudiologia tradicional-hegemônica a interpreta exclusivamente como sistema de signos lingüísticos homogêneos, enquanto que a Neurolingüística a vê também como processo de significação e de subjetivação. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender como se deu a formação do domínio do saber da Fonoaudiologia sobre a linguagem, bem como apresentar contribuições da Neurolingüística para a construção de um novo olhar sobre a linguagem de sujeitos com episódio neurológico. Para tanto, foi realizada uma investigação bibliográfica sobre o surgimento da Fonoaudiologia no Brasil, observando a co-ocorrência desse acontecimento com fatores históricos, políticos, econômicos e teórico-científicos. Foi feita, ainda, uma análise de enunciados de estudos realizados nestes últimos treze anos na Fonoaudiologia que abordam a linguagem em sujeitos cérebro-lesados. Por fim, foram apresentadas cenas enunciativas entre uma fonoaudióloga e alguns sujeitos com lesão neurológica e, a partir delas, foram analisados os processos da linguagem que, tradicionalmente, são interpretados como condições patológicas. Foi possível observar que a Fonoaudiologia surgiu a partir um modelo hegemônico da Medicina higienista e normativa, apoiando-se no mecanicismo empírico de produzir ciência, fato este que ainda consta das pesquisas tradicional-hegemônicas produzidas nessa área. Observou-se, ainda, que a Neurolingüística traz contribuições importantes para a Fonoaudiologia favorecendo a constituição de um espaço terapêutico fundamentado essencialmente na alteridade, na especularidade e na complementariedade. Além disso, esclarece a relação normal-patológico da e na linguagem, compreendendo os momentos de estereotipias, ecolalias e silêncios no fio discursivo como acontecimentos lingüísticos, inerentes à (indeterminação da) linguagem e que servem para o sujeito cérebro-lesado como recurso lingüístico para garantir a efetividade do seu dizer / Abstract: The occurred language of brain-injured individuals is a common theme to Discursive Neurolinguistics and to the traditional-hegemonic Speech-language Pathology. However, the traditional-hegemonic Speech-language Pathology interprets it exclusively as a system of linguistic signs while Neurolinguistics also sees it as a signification and subjectivation process. Therefore, the aim of this study was to understand how Speech-language Pathology knowledge formation domains over the occurred language, as well as to present contributions to Neurolinguistics to set up a new focus on the occurred language of individuals presenting neurological events. In order to do that, a bibliographic survey about the appearance of Speech-language Pathology in Brazil was performed observing its co-occurrence with historical, political, economical and scientific-theoretical factors. An analysis of the statements of studies performed in the last thirteen years about Speech-language Pathology that deal with occurred language in brain-injured individuals was also performed. At last, enunciative scenes between a Speech-language Pathologist and some individuals presenting neurological injuries were performed and through these scenes the language processes that are traditionally interpreted as pathological conditions could be analyzed. It was possible to observe that Speech-language Pathology appeared from a hegemonic model of hygienist and normative medicine supported by an empiric mechanism to produce science, a fact that is still composed by traditional-hegemonic researches performed in this area. It was also possible to observe that Neurolinguistics offers important contributions to Speech-language Pathology, supporting the constitution of a therapeutic space essentially based on alterity, speculation and complementarity. Moreover it establishes the normal-pathological relation of and within the occurred language, understanding moments of stereotypy, echolalia and silence in the discursive thread as linguistic events, inherent to the (indetermination of) occurred language and that works as a linguistic resource to brain-injured individuals to assure the effectiveness of their speech / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística

1 Abstract This thesis deals with the very current problem theme of the status of the injured party and a victim in criminal proceedings and compensation for damages, non-material damage and a release of an unjust enrichment in criminal proceedings. Work serves a legal definition of the injured party and a crime victim and deals with their status in criminal proceedings. As to the injured party, the thesis focuses on a definition and a position of the injured party as well as issues related to an adhesion proceedings in which the court decides about a claim of the injured party to damages, non-material damage and unjust enrichment. The focus of the issues relating to crime victims is their status and rights granted to them in the light of the recently adopted law amendment of victims of crime and international arrangements. The entire work arises all sorts of questions about the accuracy and effectiveness of the legislation which provides a reflection of the current state and at the same time proposals de lege ferenda. My thesis is systematically divided into four main parts. In the introductory part of this work is for a better orientation and understanding of the context described the historical evolution of the position of an injured party, by law of the injured party before 1950 to the time of the...

There are two main thesis to the work "A Company as the injured party in criminal procedure": (i) civil law recodification, in the context of company actions or actions made on behalf of a company, represents a positive change for the injured party when submitting a proposition for the court to impose a duty to compensate the damage in its sentencing judgment and as well determinates a limitation period, (ii) the process of assigning or withdrawing a status of the injured party is not described accordingly in the contemporary procedure act, especially regarding the exact form needed for this decision. These issues are closely tied to the types of damage applicable in a criminal procedure, injured party categories and to the details of submitting the compensation duty motion. A comparison of different company actions before and after recodification implies that there is a possibility of approbating the juridicial act of legal proceedings of a company that are invalid due to the company's procedure errors. Determining a limitation period by the day of the original motion stays unimpaired. Repeating the legal procedure and putting the limitation period to the day after its valid execution was necessary with the latest legal version. The second thesis was verified as well by exploiting contemporary...

The A&E unit is a unique environment with unique problems, including those problems pertaining to the documentation of the nursing care provided to the critically ill or injured patient. In such a hectic and turbulent environment where minutes can be the decider between life and death, saving the patient’s life takes priority over record keeping, and crucial information is not recorded. The aim of this study was to develop a nursing record tool to record the management of critically ill or injured patients in an accident and emergency (A&E) unit. The researcher used the collaborative inputs of three different groups of experts in the field of A&E nursing and record keeping to reach this aim. The study was descriptive, explorative and contextual in nature, and a qualitative approach was used. The A&E nurse practitioners views were incorporated into a final nursing record tool that could be used in the A&E unit for critically ill or injured patient for the first six hours of resuscitation. The compiled nursing record tool was comprehensive and included a prehospital management section to ensure the continuity of care in the emergency environment. Although more comprehensive as the current tool, the use of tick-off prompts shortened the time spend to complete this nursing record tool and, in doing so, increased the retaining of crucial information that could enhance the quality and ensure the continuity of care pertaining the critically ill or injured patient in the changing emergency environment. / Dissertation (MCur)--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Nursing Science / unrestricted
