“…Data were analyzed for themes, often after open coding to allow the development of broad categories, as in Regeher et al (2002). Some studies coded based on predetermined templates, such as the codes prescribed by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems in Takeda and do Carmo Cruz Robazzi (2007). While a range of data collection methods were employed, the frequency of interview studies (56%) is similar to reviews of health services research, with one review indicating a 67% frequency of use of interview studies in that field (O’Cathain et al, 2007).…”

“…With regard to prioritization, quantitative data were predominantly obtained first. At times it served to inform the qualitative components, such as surveys or questionnaires conducted prior to an interview (Govender et al, 2012; Takeda & do Carmo Cruz Robazzi, 2007). It was also often introduced first and reported before the qualitative findings (Govender et al, 2012; Kisely et al, 2010; Mason et al, 2006; Newgard et al, 2011; Newgard et al, 2012; Pisarski & Bohle, 2001; Regehr et al, 2002; Regehr & Millar, 2007; Simons et al, 2010).…”

The utilization of mixed methods in prehospital research is relatively new. Its use may enhance research findings, but it is not without its challenges. This study used online databases to systemically search for literature relating to the application of mixed methods in prehospital research, in order to understand the place of mixed methods research in the prehospital setting. The prehospital field appears to be embracing mixed methods as an approach to research due to its ability to address health care questions in complex, diverse environments. However, supplemental literature in this area is limited, with mixed methods expertise being found in other health science areas. Researchers should endeavor to continue to contribute to this area through high-quality, rigorous mixed methods studies.Keywords prehospital, paramedic, mixed methods research, mixed methods, prehospital research Prehospital care takes place in the dynamic, out-of-hospital environment. It is provided within communities by trained health care professionals for ''analytic, resuscitative, stabilizing or preventative purposes'' before and during transportation to a medical facility (Loyola Emergency Medical Services System Policy and Procedure Manual, 2009). Prehospital care has an incredibly wide scope-paramedics manage injuries and illnesses ranging from the very minor to the immediately life-threatening, in a range of environments and conditions, with time and resource constraints. Likewise, parameters for prehospital research are extraordinarily wide, with researchers investigating topics from clinical, systems-related, and educational standpoints.The utilization of mixed methods in prehospital research is relatively new for two reasons. First, prehospital research is embryonic and evolving. Second, much of the prehospital research

“…Wskazuje to na potrzebę dalszych analiz tego zagadnienia (25). Specyfika kierowania pojazdem uprzywilejowanym odbiega od zasad prowadzenia pojazdów prywatnych, a uczestnictwo w ruchu drogowym zespołów medycznych wiąże się z ogromnym ryzykiem i przeżywanym napięciem (26).…”

StreszczenieWstęp: Istotnym predyktorem zachowań drogowych kierowców są determinanty temperamentalno-osobowościowe. Głównym celem pracy było określenie zależności między determinantami temperamentalno-osobowościowymi (neurotyzm, ekstrawersja, poziom lęku jako cechy) a drogowymi zachowaniami ryzykownymi przejawianymi przez kierowców transportu medycznego. Materiał i metody: Badaniu poddano 106 mężczyzn z terenu województwa wielkopolskiego -kierowców pracujących w opiece zdrowotnej, mających uprawnienia do prowadzenia pojazdów uprzywilejowanych. Do realizacji celów badawczych pracy zastosowano ankietę własnego autorstwa dotyczącą drogowych zachowań ryzykownych wśród kierowców transportu medycznego. W celu określenia predyspozycji temperamentalno-osobowościowych zastosowano metody kwestionariuszowe oparte na samoocenie: Kwestionariusz Osobowości Eysencka (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire -Revised -EPQ-R) oraz polską wersję Inwentarza Stanu i Cechy Lęku (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory -STAI). Wyniki: Wykazano, że kierowcy o cechach introwertywnych częściej niż osoby ekstrawertywne deklarują prowadzenie pojazdów o obniżonej sprawności technicznej. Poziom lęku jako cechy może wpływać na przejawianie zachowań rozpraszających, podejmowanie decyzji o jeździe niesprawnym pojazdem, a także na prowadzenie pojazdu w złym stanie psychofizycznym oraz utrzymywanie zbyt małej odległości od pojazdu poprzedzającego. Im wyższe natężenie cechy lęku, tym wyższe natężenie ww. danych zachowań. Wnioski: Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można przyjąć, że istnieje zależność między determinantami temperamentalno-osobowościowymi a deklarowanymi przez kierowców transportu medycznego zachowaniami ryzykownymi na drodze. W myśl uzyskanych wyników cechami różnicującymi badane osoby są wymiary ekstrawersji i lęk jako cecha. Med. Pr. 2014;65(4):485-496 Słowa kluczowe: ratownik medyczny, drogowe zachowania ryzykowne, ekstrawersja, introwersja, neurotyzm, lęk Abstract Background: Personality determinants are an important predicator of road behaviors in drivers. The main objective of the study was to determine the relationship between personality determinants (neuroticism, extraversion, level of anxiety -features) and distinguishable risky behaviors of drivers of medical transport vehicles. Material and Methods: The study covered 106 male drivers from the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship, working in health care, having a license to drive emergency vehicles. To achieve the research objectives a questionnaire was developed and applied. It concerned risky road behaviors among drivers of medical transport. The personality suitability was determined using the questionnaire methods on self-assessment: Polish versions of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire -Revised (EPQ-R) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire. Results: It was shown that drivers with introverted characteristics declare driving vehicles of reduced technical efficiency more often than extroverts. The level of the anxiety as a trait A-characteristic affects the display of distra...

“…Alguns instrumentos identificam estilo e qualidade de vida, outros mapeiam os fatores de risco ocupacionais e os acidentes de trabalho e outros se restringem a detecção de fatores ou situações de riscos pontuais para o adoecimento, como por exemplo, o aparecimento de doenças de ordem psicológica como o estresse pós-traumático e a Síndrome Nessa busca, encontramos alguns estudos utilizando instrumentos para mapear exclusivamente os hábitos de vida, saúde, qualidade de vida, absenteísmo, ambiente e acidentes de trabalho de trabalhadores da saúde 9,[11][12][13] . Entre os achados, observamos: o estresse no ambiente de trabalho (muitas vezes relacionando o estresse pós-traumático como uma possível fonte primária para o adoecimento); as dores musculoesqueléticas; os acidentes de trabalho (principalmente os automobilísticos e com material perfuro-cortante); e os distúrbios do sono.…”

O estudo teve objetivo de desenvolver um questionário sobre hábitos relacionados ao trabalho (QHT) e verificar sua validade e reprodutibilidade. As etapas do QHT foram: observação de campo e revisão teórica sobre hábitos relacionados ao trabalho de profissionais da área da saúde; descrição e conteúdo; validade de conteúdo e reprodutibilidade. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado estatística descritiva (validade de conteúdo) e percentual de concordância(%C) e a medida de concordância Kappa (reprodutibilidade). Seis especialistas avaliaram a maior parte do instrumento como excelente, considerando-o válido em seu conteúdo. Os valores de Kappa mostraram concordância moderadas a excelentes entre as respostas(%C>80%), indicando ser o QHT um instrumento reprodutível. Apesar das limitações do QHT tais como ausência de questões sobre etilismo e desequilíbrio entre demanda de trabalho e disponibilidade de recursos humanos, o alcance prático do instrumento está na suafacilidade em obtenção de informações para conhecer o perfil e alguns importantes aspectos de rotina de trabalho dos trabalhadores da saúde, útil para avaliação na área da Terapia Ocupacional.
