“…This is because making ethical decisions, which is a complex process, requires ethical sensitivity as well as ethical knowledge [16]. In other words, ethical sensitivity is solving ethical problems, clarifying these problems, justifying the action or preventing an ethical dilemma in all units providing healthcare services [7]. No study that examined the effects of occupational anxiety on the tendencies of individuals towards ethical values was encountered in the literature review.…”

Objective: Ethical values are moral values that are necessary in situations involving contradictions or the awareness of one’s own role and responsibilities in the existing situation. It is predicted that professional anxiety may affect the tendency of an individual related to ethical values. For this reason, this study aimed to analyze the effects of occupational anxiety in paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMT) on their levels of tendency towards ethical values. The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of paramedics and emergency medical technicians (n = 411). The data were collected by using a Personal Information Form, the Occupational Anxiety Scale for Emergency Healthcare Professionals and the Tendency towards Ethical Values Scale. Occupational anxiety levels (91.57 ± 13.09) and levels of tendency towards ethical values (72.50 ± 8.21) were found to be high in the paramedics and emergency medical technicians. A statistically significant relationship was found between the mean scores of the participants on the Occupational Anxiety Scale and their sociodemographic characteristics (gender, year of service, weekly working hours, willing choice of occupation, occupational satisfaction) (p < 0.05). Additionally, a statistically significant relationship was determined between the participants’ education levels and their mean scores on the Tendency towards Ethical Values scale (p < 0.05). In the study, it was found that as occupational anxiety increased, the tendency to ethical values increased (p < 0.001). As the levels of occupational anxiety in the paramedics and emergency medical technicians increased, their levels of tendency towards ethical values also increased.

Aim:The aim of the study was to identify the right and wrong applications of non-physician healthcare workers working in the emergency department (ED) on the standard ECG method.Material and Methods: The study was conducted in the ED of two hospitals in Yozgat province. The data were collected in three stages, in which healthcare workers recording ECGs were observed, emergency medicine specialists evaluated each ECG recording, and the questionnaire on the ECG shooting method was applied. Frequency and percentage values in the descriptive statistics of the study and Pearson Correlation analysis were used to determine the relationship between variables.Results: There was no statistically significant relationship between healthcare workers' level of knowledge about recording ECG and the correct execution of the procedure (p>0.05). Emergency medicine specialists who interpreted the ECG reported that there was a situation that limited interpretation in nearly half of the ECG reports, which was due to the shooting error in 46% of them, and 22% of the ECG shootings were repeated. Chest electrodes were highly positioned incorrectly (100%-80%) in both theory and in practice. Conclusion:It was observed that there was no relationship between the knowledge of the healthcare professionals who recorded the ECG about the procedure and their behavior during the procedure, and there was at least one shooting error in almost half of the ECGs taken in the ED.

“…Within the scope of the emergency medical service (EMS), patients are provided with the service offered by transferring the patients and injured to the appropriate health institution responding to the health problems occurring outside the hospital, and in a way to achieve the optimum health results in accordance with the existing professional knowledge within the hospital. In line with this scope, the healthcare professionals providing emergency medical services have to work in difficult conditions both in the pre-hospital area and in the emergency room due to the dynamic structure of the setting, intense workload and providing services for health problems that unexpectedly arise (1,2). By the nature of health policies, the personnel providing healthcare are expected to provide a quality service that will increase the satisfaction of the patients or their relatives.…”
