There is a lack of research on social image, prestige, and the position of the paramedic profession in the social structure. The main objective of the study was to determine the place of the paramedic profession in the hierarchy of prestige of professions as viewed by the public. In operationalizing the term 'prestige', we deemed the word 'respect' to best fit the sense of the subjective evaluation of prestige with regard to a profession.
The data comes from cross-sectional survey-based research. The research was carried out on a group of 600 people over 18 years of age. The sample was of a random nature, and the selection of respondents was calculated on the basis of them being representative of the Polish population.
The median of respect declared for the paramedic profession, on a scale of 1 to 5, was 4.49, which placed the profession in fourth place in the ranking. The assessment of respect for paramedics among other medical professions placed them in third place, directly after doctors and midwifes.
The profession of paramedic is characterized by high social prestige, locating it at the forefront of the medical profession and other examined professions, but its social position, expressed by objective measures (earnings, structural possibilities, social power), is significantly lower.
目前针对公众眼中急救员职业的社会形象、声誉以及在社会结构中的地位，相关研究还比较匮乏。本研究的主要目的是确定公众心目中急救员职业在职业声望等级中的位置。在操作“声望”一词时，我们认为“尊重”一词最能体现对职业的主观评价的声望意义。
本研究的数据来自于基于横断面调查的研究。研究对象为 600 名 18 岁以上的人群。该样本为随机性质，对受访者的选择是基于他们能代表波兰人口的基础上进行计算的。
在 1 到 5 的量表上，急救员职业被评定的尊重中位数为 4.49，这使得该职业在排名中位列第四。在对急救员与其他医疗职业的尊重评估中，他们位列第三，仅次于医生和助产士。
急救员职业具有较高的社会声望，将其置于医疗职业和其他被调查职业的前列，但它的社会地位（以收入、结构可能性和社会权力等客观指标衡量）要低得多。
