Abstract:
Introduction. Ergonomics is a science dealing with adaptation of conditions, methods and organization of occupations to be most effective, affecting spiritual and physical development and giving more satisfaction, ensuring safety, comfort for workers and protecting human's health and increasing widely understood safety of patients id the field of health service. Emergency medical service (EMS) is a kind of medical care which in particular is dependent on harmonisation and optimalization of human-device-inviroment system. Taking into consideration its specificity, it is forsed to be more familiar physilcal, physiological, behavioralcognitive conditions to improve ergonomics efficency of system and satisfaction of workers. It seems that despite development of ergonomics as a field throughout one hundred years in medical care and relatively young field like EMS - its ergonomics rules connected with humanocentric attitude - are not the common awarness of organisation. The Aim. The goal of this study was to recognize ergonomie conditions m groud and aeronautical teams of national emergency medical service system, and an attempt of physical, mental, enviromental and organisational load asystent of workers like nurse, paramedics and doctors. Materiał and methods. The survey involved 218 medical professionals, including physicians, nurses, and paramedics working in ground and air EMS t ; eams within the State Emergency Medical Services. The qualitative analysis of ergonomie work conditions utilized the Dortmund List (DL) and the K. F. Murrell Checklist, containing a set of systematized, diverse factors influencing human work. Results. The overall mean value assessing work ergonomics among the study group was 3.63 (SD=0.31). Ergonomics in the workstation domain was rated on average at 3.74 (SD=0.28), with physical load at 3.33 (SD=0.56) and psychological load at 3.84 (SD=0.28). In the domain of psychological load, ergonomics related to visual strain was rated highest at 4.25 (SD=0.38), while ergonomics related to the use of indicators and signaling devices was rated low est at 3 .48 (SD=0.58). Ergonomics in the work method domain was rated on average at 3.52 (SD=0.48), with physical load being the highest at 4.01 (SD=0.43), and system efficiency being the lowest at 2.90 (SD=l.23). Conclusions. The study results indicate a elear need for corrections in workload concerning physical, psychological, environmental, and organizational factors. The provided responses to posed questions and spontaneous expressions indicate the necessity for the restructuring of EMS organizations and structures, focusing on "employee satisfaction" understood ergonomically as collaborative efforts to achieve effects at the lowest biological cost to workers.
