Results: The whole number of trips made by the Emergency Medical Teams in the Silesian Voivodeship totalled 211,896, of which due to the reported injury, the total number of trips was 202,946 cases (183,827 calls were in town – 91%; 19,119 calls were out of town – 9%; p<0.05). The most common cause for calls were due to head injuries (S03 – dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments of the head as well as S04 – cranial nerve injuries). Statistically significant differences in the number of trips depending on cause identification (p<0.05) were determined, as well as in comparison to the number of cases identified as S03 and S04 between the in town and out of town territory (p<0.05). The median arrival time to an in town site was 7 minutes and 42 second, whereas in out of town sites it was 13 minutes and 19 seconds.

The endangering factors from the professional activity of the medical teams working at CEMC to be more comprehensively studied, analyzed and summarized. Preliminary interviews were conducted with medical professionals working at CEMC. On this basis, a questionnaire was developed, surveying through a sociological method the opinion of medical professionals from the Centers for Emergency Medical Care. The implemented structural and organizational changes still do not outline fully clear perspectives ahead of the work of the emergency rooms. These ambiguities suppose the risky nature (endangering factors) of the activity of the emergency medical professionals. In the outlining of the factors endangering the professional activity of the emergency medical professionals who work at the emergency centers the questions of interest are related to: the difficulties that they face during the execution of their professional obligations, the most exhausting components of the work, the workplace aggression and so on. Factors endangering the professional activity of the emergency medics determine their choice of job which on the other hand is a really important factor that determines job satisfaction.

Abstract In spite of their good intentions, Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) were relatively disorganized for many years. To enhance the efficient provision of EMT’s field team work, the Training for Emergency Medical Teams and European Medical Corps (TEAMS) project was established. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness and quality of the TEAMS training package in 2 pilot training programs in Germany and Turkey. A total of 19 German and 29 Turkish participants completed the TEAMS training package. Participants were asked to complete a set of questionnaires designed to assess self-efficacy, team work, and quality of training. The results suggest an improvement for both teams’ self-efficacy and team work. The self-efficacy scale improved from 3.912 (± 0.655 SD) prior to training to 4.580 (± 0.369 SD) after training (out of 5). Team work improved from 3.085 (± 0.591 SD) to 3.556 (± 0.339 SD) (out of 4). The overall mean score of the quality of the training scale was 4.443 (± 0.671 SD) (out of 5). In conclusion, The TEAMS Training Package for Emergency Medical Teams has been demonstrated to be effective in promoting EMT team work capacities, and it is considered by its users to be a useful and appropriate tool for addressing their perceived needs.
