ABSTRACT BRAITHWAITE, SUSAN SMITH. Ethics in Paramedic Practice ABSTRACT BRAITHWAITE, SUSAN SMITH. Ethics in Paramedic Practice: A Qualitative Case Study of Paramedic Perceptions of Ethical Decision-Making in Practice. (Under the direction of Dr. Susan J. Barcinas). The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand how practicing paramedics perceive ethics in patient care, specifically the process of navigating ethical decision-making in emergent situations. The Iserson Model for ethical decision making in emergency medicine was used as the conceptual framework. This exploratory case study utilized semi- structured interviews of thirteen North Carolina certified and educated paramedics, nine men and four women, as the primary method of data collection. Open-coding and theoretical framework coding were the two methods used. Paramedics ethical values, accountability, professional identity, and decision stress were the themes determined during the initial coding process. Reliance on previous experience in decision-making, consult, emergent ethical decision-making and the Iserson Model, “Rapid Approach to Ethical Problems” were themes determined during the theoretical framework coding process. Findings suggest that participants do not routinely use a process driven application as they make emergent decisions. They do, however, frequently consider feelings of empathy (a step in the Iserson Model) as they navigate such decisions. Findings further suggest the participants both learn ethical decision-making from peers and mentors in a community of practice through experiential learning, and then critically reflect on ethical dilemmas within the same community. This study illuminates the understanding of ethics in the unique profession of practicing paramedics and contributes to the literature in adult education for the health care professions. © Copyright 2014 by Susan Smith Braithwaite All Rights Reserved Ethics in Paramedic Practice: A Qualitative Case Study of Paramedic Perceptions of Ethical Decision-Making in Practice by Susan Smith Braithwaite A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Adult and Community College Education Raleigh, North Carolina 2014 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ ______________________________ Dr. Susan J. Barcinas Dr. Kevin Brady Committee Chair ________________________________ ________________________________ Dr. Brad Mehlenbacher Dr. Chad Hoggan DEDICATION I am dedicating this research to my mother, Margaret Ann Smith. She believed in me while I was trying to get a G.E.D., convinced me that education was the path to a life of security and opportunity, and then inspired and supported me as I kept moving until I had reached the top, my Ed. D. Mom is a great teacher that taught me so much about life and learning. ii BIOGRAPHY Born in Pennsylvania and having lived in Florida, Susan Smith Braithwaite moved to North Carolina in 1999. In 2000 she transitioned from full-time paramedic and part-time EMS instructor to a full-time program director at a community college. She has since remained in adult education, and is now a professor at Western Carolina University. This represented a long time career goal and a return to teach at her alma mater, a graduate of the Emergency Medical Care program in 1988. Susan began graduate study in 2003 when North Carolina State University offered a cohort program at Johnston Community College. With the encouragement of her mother, Susan began her graduate journey in a course entitled the Adult Learner, taught by Dr. Colleen Weissner. Dr. Weissner passed away while Susan was still on her graduate journey, but remains an inspiration of what it is to be an adult learner and to teach the adult learner. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To the many friends and family that have supported the pursuit of a dream inspired by Dr. Weissner. Brittany and Lindsay, my beautiful daughters, who gave me the motivation to keep moving no matter how hard the journey. As a single mother, I felt they deserved the best life I could give them, and believed a graduate education was the way to give it. I missed many hours with my family to pursue this dream. My mother, Margaret Smith, spent hours reading my papers. Thank you for helping me believe in myself. I wanted to make you proud. This diploma is for you. Along the way I added some very special people. Pam Earp and Twyla Wells have been with me since the first day of class and through every challenge along the way. I am so indebted and proud of you both. We did it. To Robert Braithwaite, who joined the journey as I was working on my dissertation and became more than a supportive friend, but grew into the love of my life. To the Noltes’, for giving me a warm home away from home to keep the dream alive while I drove and wrote. To Amanda, a very dear lifelong friend. To the thirteen brave men and women that fought through tears and difficult memories to share their story, all for the hope of making EMS an even stronger profession. To my committee, Dr. Barcinas, Dr. Hogan, Dr. Mehlenbacher, and Dr. Brady, I can’t express the feeling of accomplishment to sit in a room with such talent and wisdom and have the opportunity to defend my work. Thank you for that honor. A special thank you to Dr. Susan Barcinas, Committee chair. You inherited a tired, scared doctoral student after Dr. Weissner passed and mentored me into a confident graduate. You were a friend and hero through my greatest achievement. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES…………………………………………………………….……………. x LIST OF FIGURES…………………………………………………………..…………… xx CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................... 1 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY/RESEARCH QUESTION ..................................................................... 2 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK ................................................................................................... 3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY ................................................................................................ 5 DEFINITION OF TERMS ........................................................................................................... 7 RESEARCH METHOD .............................................................................................................. 9 SUMMARY ............................................................................................................................ 10 CHAPTER 2: THE LITERATURE REVIEW .................................................................. 12 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................... 12 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ................................................................................................... 13 EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES OVERVIEW ...................................................................... 17 EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES LITERATURE ................................................................... 22 Themes in EMS literature. .............................................................................................. 23 Professional ethics. ..................................................................................................... 24 Stress and job retention. .............................................................................................. 25 Decision-making. ........................................................................................................ 26 Resuscitation decisions. .............................................................................................. 28 ETHICS INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS ........................................................................... 30 FOUNDATIONS OF ETHICS IN LITERATURE ........................................................................... 33 Modern period philosophy: Immanuel Kant. .................................................................. 34 Contemporary period philosophy: Lawrence Kohlberg. ................................................ 35 CURRENT TRENDS IN ETHICS LITERATURE .......................................................................... 37 Feminist perspectives. ..................................................................................................... 39 Bioethics. ........................................................................................................................ 42 Iserson model. ................................................................................................................. 45 Attributes..................................................................................................................... 45 EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THEORIES IN LITERATURE .......................................................... 48 Constructivism: the orientation. ...................................................................................... 50 Fenwick’s perspectives: the framework. ......................................................................... 51 Experiential learning: the theoretical assumption. .......................................................... 53 John Dewey. ................................................................................................................ 54 David Kolb. ................................................................................................................. 56 Situated learning: the perspective. .................................................................................

Previously, the EMS Technical Committee had reviewed a new project request for a MIH/CP document, though that request was later administratively withdrawn. The entire EMS Technical Committee worked to develop that new project request which was submitted individually by Dr. David Tan, representing the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) in late 2011. Since submittal of the proposal by Dr. Tan there 1 have been many changes to the delivery of healthcare, including the delivery of EMS. These reforms compelled the EMS Technical Committee to organize a meeting for stakeholders to garner input from a broad group of healthcare professionals and to discuss the possibility for a new request on MIH/CP. The meeting afforded the opportunity to not only learn the opinions of prominent national EMS and healthcare professionals, but also to discuss how the NFPA could assist the community of actors involved in MIH/CP. History The concept of MIH/CP has existed for quite some time, but more prevalent in other countries around the world than in the U.S.

  • Ambulance Service 2020
    Ambulance Service 2030: The Future of Paramedics Andy Newton Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD November 2013 ________________________________________ Abstract ________________________________________ Some innovations are termed ‘disruptive’, a designation that is normally applied to technology; examples include computers, digital cameras, and mobile phones. The term can also be applied to groups of workers, particularly if they are able to offer specific technical capabilities within a market at lower cost, but broadly equal and effective to that offered by traditional products or services. Paramedics could be described in this way and are a newly professionalised group, with distinctive capabilities in terms of responding to the needs of not just the acutely ill and injured, but increasingly those patients with undifferentiated non-life- threatening conditions, which increasingly make up the bulk of 999 call demand. The key to their transition from an artisan, skilled worker to professional status is the acquisition of certain ‘hallmarks’. Perhaps the most important of these is the completion of more prolonged education that affords the opportunity to graduate with enhanced decision-making and other clinical skills in order to meet the needs of the full spectrum of patients in the pre-hospital setting. Paramedics were surveyed to determine how they rated their ‘traditional’ preparation and to establish what their attitudes were to a more educationally based approach. Paramedics themselves proved to be realistic regarding shortcomings in established training and education systems, while also being strongly motivated to learn more i within a higher education setting, particularly if this additional effort would result in being able to offer a wider range of care to their patients.

  • 1 ORIGINAL RESEARCH the Exploration of Physical Fatigue
    Journal of Emergency Primary Health Care (JEPHC), Vol. 9, Issue 1, 2011 - Article 990435 ISSN 1447-4999 ORIGINAL RESEARCH The exploration of physical fatigue, sleep and depression in paramedics: a pilot study Sarah Sofianopoulos* Brett Williams* Professor Frank Archer* A/Professor Bruce Thompson** *Department of Community Emergency Health and Paramedic Practice Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Monash University, Melbourne, Australia **Department of Allergy, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, Australia Abstract Ambulance paramedics are members of a discipline that forms a unique part of the emergency services. As pre-hospital providers they are constantly and increasing faced with heavy workloads that are physically, mentally and emotionally tiring. Fatigue and sleep disturbance are factors which can compromise the effectiveness of these workers, and as a result not only hamper patient safety but can have detrimental consequences on the paramedics‟ health and overall well-being. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact shift work on physical fatigue, sleep and psychological factors among paramedics in Australia. Methods A convenience sample of paramedics was asked to complete a number of self-reporting standardised questionnaires: The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) (8-items), Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) (10-items), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (19-items) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (21-items). Ethics approval was granted. Results The study recruited 60 participants, the majority of which were male 77% (n=46), > 45 years of age 31% (n=19), and having worked shift work between 5-10 years 35% (n=21). Nine out of ten (92%, n=55) of paramedics reported having experienced fatigue in the last 6 months, with 88% (n=53) believing it had affected their performance at work.

  • Predictors and Impacts on Paramedic Clinical Decision Making, Attitudes and Behaviours
    Predictors and impacts on paramedic clinical decision making, attitudes and behaviours Alexander Cardenas A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Public Health and Community Medicine Faculty of Medicine March 2017 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Cardenas First name: Alexander Other name/s: Daniel Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Public Health and Faculty: Medicine Community Medicine Title: Predictors and impacts on paramedic clinical decision making, attitudes and behaviours. Abstract Paramedicine has transitioned rapidly from a trade to a modern, autonomous largely unsupervised health profession. The speed and extent of this development has resulted in its clinical governance, procedures and accreditation being largely untested, leading to a situation with immediate potential implications for patient care. This mixed methods study began with an examination of the evolution of paramedicine within the context of current best practice training and management of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It then utilised the findings to inform the design and testing of two new online platforms to assess and improve paramedic decision making in SCA. The first platform developed was the Online Cardiac Arrest Simulator (OCAS), which included both instructional videos and a simulated SCA. The second platform, the Online Clinical Decision Platform (OCDP), was then designed based on the results and recommendations of OCAS. All educational materials and platforms were designed by the PhD candidate and included point of view filming, realistic location shoots, high- fidelity simulation and clinically accurate scenarios; and were accessible by multiple media devices.

  • Understanding the Role of the Paramedic in Primary Care: a Realist
    Eaton et al. BMC Medicine (2021) 19:145 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-021-02019-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Understanding the role of the paramedic in primary care: a realist review Georgette Eaton1* , Geoff Wong1, Stephanie Tierney1, Nia Roberts2, Veronika Williams3 and Kamal R. Mahtani1 Abstract Background: Since 2002, paramedics have been working in primary care within the United Kingdom (UK), a transition also mirrored within Australia, Canada and the USA. Recent recommendations to improve UK NHS workforce capacities have led to a major push to increase the numbers of paramedics recruited into primary care. However, gaps exist in the evidence base regarding how and why these changes would work, for whom, in what context and to what extent. To understand the ways in which paramedics impact (or not) the primary care workforce, we conducted a realist review. Methods: A realist approach aims to provide causal explanations through the generation and articulation of contexts, mechanisms and outcomes. Our search of electronic databases was supplemented with Google and citation checking to locate grey literature including news items and workforce reports. Included documents were from the UK, Australia, Canada and the Americas—countries within which the paramedic role within primary care is well established. Results: Our searches resulted in 205 included documents, from which data were extracted to produce context- mechanism-outcome configurations (CMOCs) within a final programme theory. Our results outline that paramedics are more likely to be effective in contributing to primary care workforces when they are supported to expand their existing role through formal education and clinical supervision.

Contact: [email protected] 1 Fluency and confidence predict paramedic diagnostic intuition: An experimental study of applied dual-process theory Abstract Introduction. Paramedics care for the sick and injured in a variety of settings and have been observed to form an impression of their patient prior to meeting them based on limited information. We report an experiment using Australian paramedics (n=64) and Australian paramedicine undergraduates (n=44), which considered the processes underlying the formation of an intuitive diagnostic impression. Previous research has signalled roles for objective likelihood of the disease, subjective typicality of the disease, and the ease with which the impression comes to mind (answer fluency) as important in impression formation. Method. Participants completed four brief written clinical vignettes under time pressure and with a concurrent navigation task to simulate conditions faced by paramedics prior to meeting a patient. The vignettes varied the objective likelihood of a diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), a condition often encountered by paramedics characterised by ambiguity and a need for accuracy.

Self-regulation inherently shifts the basis of establishing professional identity and the formal authority for determining professional standards. This has increased discussion of professionalism in paramedicine, however, professionalisation and professionalism are often poorly defined concepts wita myriad of interpretations. Method A scoping review was conducted to determine the available literature about professionalism and professionalisation in paramedicine. The review utilised 10 academic databases augmented with Google and Google Scholar to capture grey literature; 2740 results were refined ot 53 sources for review. Results Several works on paramedic professionalisation explore elements such as autonomy and occupational characteristics.

Read Full License Page 1/12 Abstract Background: To reduce the burden caused by emergency department (ED) visits and ambulance use, after-hours house call (AHHC) medical services have been implemented. Examining the pre-and post-home visit behaviors of those who use AHHC medical services, stratied by age and illness severity, may help determine the populations these services should target effectively to reduce ED visits and ambulance use. Methods: This questionnaire-based study used data from anonymized medical records and internet-based questionnaires completed by patients who used AHHC medical services in Tokyo, Japan, between January 1 and December 31, 2019. The questionnaire consisted of two questions: what action would the patient have taken in the absence of AHHC services, and what action was taken within three days following the use of the AHHC services. Results: Of the 15,787 patients who used AHHC medical services during the study period, 2,128 completed the questionnaire (13.5% response rate).
