The study examines the effectiveness of communication, pedagogical, and psychological training in paramedic education in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The main aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of current educational approaches, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and test hypotheses concerning the relationship between students’ communication, pedagogical, and psychological preparation and their readiness for practice. The questionnaire included items addressing theoretical instruction, practical training, pedagogical methods, and psychological preparation for coping with crisis situations. The methodology was based on a quantitative approach. Data were analyzed using statistical methods including the chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Spearman’s correlation. These methods allowed the verification of relationships between variables and the confirmation or refutation of hypotheses. The analysis revealed that a higher number of practical trainings significantly increased students’ ratings of preparedness for real-life situations. Differences were observed in the evaluation of education across different years of study, and a correlation was found between satisfaction with communication training and the ability to manage crisis situations. A survey of 328 students showed that increased practical training improves readiness, while strong soft skills instruction enhances crisis management, application of theory, and psychological resilience. The findings highlight the need for more simulation based learning, modern teaching methods, and harmonized educational standards to better prepare future paramedics. In conclusion, the integration of communication, pedagogy, and psychology into paramedic education represents an essential prerequisite for high-quality, safe, and effective health care. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of educational needs in this field and offers proposals that may serve both educational institutions and professional practice.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the relationship between positively valued traits and psychological and social factors in the Polish labor market. In addition, it was shown whether the relationship between these variables differed by gender, and both negative and positive associations of these relationships were demonstrated. As a result, differences were found within the overall relationship, as well as separately by gender, between certain employee characteristics and certain levels of psychological and social workplace factors.

The primary concern of this article is to review the knowledge and ability of people to act to protect themselves and others in the face of various risks and hazards, and to manage accident and crisis situations. Relevant issues include the needs and requirements of emergency situations, people’s ability to respond to them, and factors that affect coping ability. The selected sub-areas are practiceoriented and defined in terms of real-world problems rather than theories or scientific concepts. One of the purposes of choosing to structure the review of risk, accident and crisis management psychology in this way is to emphasize the importance of human limitations and capabilities as an element in all areas of activity and responsibility. This approach, in turn, assumes that the review contains a broad theoretical base and multifaceted approaches, which are necessarily treated here rather generically.
