Injuries in children have been undoubtedly a threat for all parents, healthcare professionals and the children themselves for many years, but the children often do not have the possibility to even realize this threat. Just in moment too fast, they enter the turmoil of prehospital care and become patients, victims of their own play or due to the lack of attention of others, or even victims of adults. Burns or the so called thermal injuries are very common mechanisms of injuries in children. In our diploma thesis, we decided to focus on thermal injuries from the viewpoint of those who are the first to come in contact with the patients, and who must evaluate the given trauma and initiate treatment based on the evaluation. In particular, this applies to the personnel of emergency medical services, and also to the graduates of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (USB FHSS). These persons should also be the ones to be aware of how burn injuries are evaluated in children - given among others that many of them are often found in the position of healthcare personnel at children´s camps or nurse at offices of general practitioners for children and adolescents. The following hypothesis was formulated based on consultations with the professional public (MUDr. Robert Zajíček, Burn Medicine Department, University Hospital Královské Vinohrady): ?Education of healthcare personnel of emergency medical services and USB FHSS graduates is inadequate, being a potential source of errors in the provision of prehospital care?. Based on this hypothesis, objectives of the diploma thesis were set as follows: Objective 1: Determine the knowledge status and practical skills in respect of evaluating 6 essential burn factors amnog emergency medical service personnel and USB FHSS graduates. Objective 2: Develop an educational material on prehospital care in children with burns.
