- W1579286733 abstract "This thesis compares rural and urban paramedic practice within two states inAustralia to establish whether rural paramedics have distinct rolesnecessitating specifically directed education and training. Other Australianhealth professions specialize in rural practice, with education and training tosuit however there have been few studies comparing the roles of ruralparamedics with urban paramedics in Australia. The topic is particularlysignificant given suggestions of a mismatch between paramedic education,training, and practice. This study contributes to the foundations needed toestablish relevant education and training for rural paramedics in Australia byproviding a comparison of rural and urban paramedic practice.A comparative case study strategy was used, and multiple sources of datawere collected. These included semi-structured interviews with intensive careparamedics across two states in Australia; an audit of case dispatch data;review of documentation, including job descriptions, ambulance service andunion websites, archival information, local media, and universities; andobservation of paramedics within their local environment looking at keyprocesses and events. The use of multiple data sources allowed triangulationof data with consequent reduction of research bias. The major finding of this study was the presence of clear differences betweenrural and urban paramedic practice. Rural paramedics:1. practice a community response rather than a case dispatch response,2. are multidisciplinary team members rather than solely ambulance teammembers,3. are educators and managers of volunteers rather than clinical supervisorsand,4. are isolated health workers rather than having access to full resources.Two main similarities were noted, and these were a strong concern forprogress in continuing professional development, and dispatch of similartypes of cases in both rural and urban areas.The comparison of results suggests that there is a need in Australia forparamedic education and training with specific rural components. Ruralclinical placements, along with community based and multidisciplinarycomponents could form an integral part of this education and training process.Future directions for continuing professional development require input fromparamedics themselves. Further research concerning the three tiers ofundergraduate education, postgraduate education, and continuing professionaldevelopment will ensure education and training for the rural paramedic inAustralia avoids the risk of a mismatch between training, education andpractice." @default.
