The suicide rate in the police force (Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad-FFCCSS) is estimated to be greater than that of the general population. The objectives of this paper are to detect mental health problems, in particular depression and anxiety, and to analyze the moderating effect of coping strategies on the relation between mental health and suicide ideation in police officers. The Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ-R), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), the Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Brief Cope have all been used in the study. The sample consists of 98 Spanish police officers, of whom 91.8% were male. The results indicate that depression and anxiety can predict suicidal ideation. Nevertheless, it must be said that coping strategies do not have a moderating effect in the relation between mental health and suicidal ideation in this professional group.
警察部队（安全部队和警察部队）的自杀率估计高于普通人群。本文的目的是检测心理健康问题，特别是抑郁和焦虑，并分析应对策略对警察心理健康与自杀意念之间关系的调节作用。该研究使用了自杀行为问卷（SBQ-R）、贝克抑郁量表（BDI）、焦虑量表（STAI）和简要应对量表。样本由 98 名西班牙警察组成，其中 91.8%为男性。结果表明，抑郁和焦虑可以预测自杀意念。然而，必须指出的是，应对策略在这个职业群体的心理健康与自杀意念之间的关系中没有调节作用。
