The results of the study may be useful for medical leaders and policymakers, as they will help them make decisions aimed at improving the health and performance of personnel. Introduction: The Emergency Medical Service (EMS) plays a key role in the healthcare system, providing emergency medical care to the population in critical situations. WMC employees face high physical and emotional loads, making their health and well-being an important factor not only for their personal life but also for the quality of services provided. Relevance of the research: In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of calls to emergency services, which leads to an increase in the workload on WMC employees. This, in turn, necessitates assessing the health status of these specialists and identifying factors influencing their work capacity and quality of life. Goals and objectives: The purpose of this study is to conduct a medical and social characterization of the health status of medical workers and to propose ways to optimize their working conditions. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: Assess the physical and mental health of WMC employees. 203 https://universalpublishings.com МЕДИЦИНА, ПЕДАГОГИКА И ТЕХНОЛОГИЯ: ТЕОРИЯ И ПРАКТИКА Researchbib Impact factor: 13.14/2024 SJIF 2024 = 5.444 Том 3, Выпуск 05, Мая Materials and methods: The study was conducted on the basis of several emergency medical care stations in various regions. The sample included: Number of participants: 150 SMP employees, including doctors, paramedics, and drivers. Age range: 25-55 years. Sex: 60% men and 40% women. Research methods: Questionnaire: Purpose: To gather information about the health status, stress level, and working conditions of employees. Tools: A questionnaire has been developed that includes questions about: Physical health (presence of chronic diseases, frequency of doctor visits). Mental health (stress level, burnout symptoms). Working conditions (work schedule, availability of resources, level of support). The materials and methods used allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the health status of emergency medical service workers and the identification of key factors influencing their well-being. However, for many years, the lack of special statistical data did not allow us to fully imagine the state of health of medical workers. The few studies available in this area have shown that morbidity among health care workers remains high in recent years.76% of doctors have chronic diseases, and only 40% of them are in dispensary accounts [4]. Medical workers take the first place in occupational diseases. Infectious diseases are the first (from 75.0 to 83.8%, average -80.2%), second -allergic diseases (from 6.5 to 18.8%, average -12.3%), third intoxication and diseases of the locomotors system take the place. Chronic pathology was found in 60% of doctors and 50% of secondary medical workers [5] N.H. Amirova and others. (2014), with increasing professional experience of medical personnel, diseases of the cardiovascular system, digestive organs, and vertebrogenic pathologies at the cervical and lumbosacral level are increasing. Pathology of the female reproductive system is often noted with work experience up to 9 years, the majority of women are women of reproductive age. According to statistics, every year in Russia 320,000 medical workers do not go to work due to illness and take the 5th place in the prevalence of occupational diseases, and even ahead of chemical industry workers. People with tuberculosis are especially at risk, because tuberculosis accounts for 40% of occupational diseases. At the same time, the detection rate of occupational diseases does not exceed 10% of their total number [6]. According to some local authors, the number of such medical workers is 80% [7] As a rule, medical workers are diagnosed only with diseases that cannot be hidden, and a significant proportion of occupational patients consists of people working in work conditions of categories 3.3 and 3.4, which in itself is permanent disability, especially viral hepatitis and leads to the formation of clear, severe forms that cause 204 https://universalpublishings.com МЕДИЦИНА, ПЕДАГОГИКА И ТЕХНОЛОГИЯ: ТЕОРИЯ И ПРАКТИКА Researchbib Impact factor: 13.14/2024 SJIF 2024 = 5.444 Том 3, Выпуск 05, Мая tuberculosis [7].
