The level of theoretical knowledge of non-medical staff of the RES station in selected hospitals in the South Bohemian Region in dealing with an extraordinary emergency.

An unexpected incident is not everyday issue for a Pre-hospital emergency care nether hospital emergency care operative. However in the case of its occurrence and need of solving a high number of patients it is necessary to be at least basically informed about this matter. It is important to realize that the pre-hospital emergency care, which is given to the patient at the place of accident is as important as the care given to the patient later in the hospital. In the present diploma thesis we tried to find out the theoretical knowledge of selected participants from the ranks of non-medical workers in health care. To this end, we created three goals: to evaluate the level of theoretical knowledge in dealing with emergencies with mass disabilities, evaluate the personal experience with active emergencies with mass disabilities and to evaluate the education and training of non-medical medical staff in the inpatient part of RES in selected hospitals in the South Bohemian region to deal with emergencies with mass disabilities. We used three research questions to determine these goals: What is the knowledge of non-medical staff of the inpatient part of in solving the problem of emergencies with a massive disability? How did the non-medical medical staff of the inpatient part have an extraordinary value event with a collective disability in which it was present? What is the attitude of non-medical medical staff of the inpatient part of RES in selected hospitals in the South Bohemian Region to the preparation and education in the field of dealing with emergencies with mass disabilities? The research was conducted using a qualitative method of semi-structured interview. In these interviews, we focused on the issue of emergencies with mass disabilities, the classification of patients and the link between pre-hospital emergency and emergency hospital care. From the analysis we found out that each respondent was able to give a solution of accepting patients at a hospital. From the interviews we also discovered that a great problem was reading sorting and identity cards of patients who come from the place of incident. A great part of participants had no knowledge about these generally. So exercising and education would be convenient for all participants
