Paramedic in a view of high school student

The bachelor?s thesis has a name: paramedic in a view of a high school student. I chose this topic because of my interest of this problematic. This work is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part, there is described a definition and personality of paramedic in details, his competence, field's development, study opportunities and then even the study of Paramedic itself. The chapter ?study? is further divided into theoretical instruction, where subjects, which students must complete, are described in more details and practical training, where are mentioned school professional practice and individual practice that learners also attend. In the practical part is mention of the courses that students take. The following chapter discusses the opportunities for graduates in the field of Paramedic. Graduates can work in the emergency medical services on the position of the operator/dispatcher, the ambulance crews or in a hospital in area of acute beds. In the chapter entitled - Paramedic in the work process - are included subsections - admission to employment, starting practice of a graduate, job description and a salary. There is also analyzed student, high school, college and motivation to study. I also mention the Fair of universities and information that can be given there to students. And the final section of the theoretical part concerns the overall awareness of high school students about the paramedic. The second part is the practical part. For the practical part of this thesis it was used the quantitative method of research, which was done by a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was anonymous and was designed for students of ending years of medical school and one grammar school selected from Ceske Budejovice. Research questions focused on students' knowledge of paramedic, his studies and job descriptions. 130 questionnaires were distributed in total, their return was 82%. For the final processing were used 106 questionnaires (100%). 55 questionnaires were from medical school and 51 questionnaires were from the grammar school. The results are summarized in a graphical form where the knowledge of the paramedic, medical and non-healthcare fields was compared. Aim of the study was to map a view and perceptions of potential students of Paramedic study and the paramedic work itself. A hypothesis was: the students of secondary medical schools have a better idea of studying and working as a paramedic, than students of other schools. In the questionnaire there were questions such as: Do you think that during the study of Paramedic is obligatory practice during the summer holidays,? Does also must ZZ operate nursing activities nurses?, What is the job description of ZZ besides direct work with patients?, Do you think that the work of ZZ presented in various films and series corresponds to reality?, Who do you think can be in a outbound crew of emergency medical services? The hypothesis can be confirmed by the results in terms of percentage. However, we can say that the correctness of the resulting responses of medical disciplines were truer only about the minor percentage. It can be concluded that the overall awareness of students about studying and working as paramedic is still small and could be definitely higher. I therefore believe that this bachelor thesis can be an interesting source of information for students interested in the field of study Paramedic, as well as high school teachers who are established as the consultant in area of further education. Furthermore, this work could help as an impetus to high schools which offer the field Paramedic ? to help them to presented it better, especially on the websites, witch (according to my reserch) students use most. Based on research, which is part of this work was prepared more detailed information leaflet for valid awareness. This is intended primarily for people inferested in learning field Paramedic
