We examined prevalence, frequency, duration, and recency of injury leave and the association of duty-related injury with perceived stress in U.S. police officers.
This cross-sectional study contained 422 active duty police officers from a mid-sized urban police department. For each participating officer, work history records were used to assess on-duty injuries that lead to work absences. Linear regression analyses were used for analyses.
Most participants had experienced at least one injury (62%), and among those injured, 67% experienced more than one duty-related injury. The average number of injuries per officer was three (range 1 to 12). There was a significant linear trend in mean perceived stress across injury count even after adjusting for age, rank, and sex (P = 0.025).
Findings suggest that work-related injury is common and repeated work-related injuries are psychologically distressing in U.S. police officers.
我们研究了美国警察受伤休假的流行率、频率、持续时间和最近一次受伤时间,以及与职务相关的受伤与感知压力之间的关系。
这项横断面研究包含了来自一个中等规模城市警察局的 422 名在职警察。对于每一位参与的警察,工作历史记录被用来评估导致工作缺勤的在职伤害。线性回归分析用于分析。
大多数参与者至少经历过一次伤害(62%),而在受伤的参与者中,67%经历过不止一次与职务相关的伤害。每位警察的平均受伤次数为三次(范围为 1 到 12)。即使在调整了年龄、职级和性别后,受伤次数的平均感知压力仍呈现出显著的线性趋势(P=0.025)。
研究结果表明,工作相关伤害在美国警察中很常见,重复的工作相关伤害对他们的心理造成困扰。
