Police officers are exposed to a particularly high risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and psychosocial stress due to their working conditions. Therefore, the aim of this project will be to assess the occupational physical and mental health of police officers from an organizational unit of the police force of a German federal state.
The aim is to analyze at least 200 active police officers of a state police force in Germany between the age of 18 and 65 years. In a mixed-methods design, a video raster stereography-based measurement of the upper body posture and a modified version of the Nordic Questionnaire (NQ) will be used for investigating their physical health, while the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) and the Operational Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ-Op) will be used to analyze their mental health. In addition, job-specific psychosocial factors at the workplace will be assessed (using self-designed questions that were previously evaluated in an expert interview).
To date, there is a lack of current questionnaire-based data on the prevalence of MSDs in police officers, or of MSDs associated with injuries or psychosocial workplace factors. Thus, in this study, these MSDs will be correlated with quantitative upper body posture data. If these results prove an increased physical and/or psychosocial stress, then the existing workplace health promotion measures should be analyzed and modified if necessary.
由于工作条件，警察面临着特别高的肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）和心理社会压力风险。因此，本项目的目的是评估德国一个联邦州警察部队一个组织单位中警察的职业身心健康。
目标是分析德国一个州警察部队中至少200名年龄在18至65岁之间的在职警察。在混合方法设计中，将使用基于视频光栅立体摄影的上身姿势测量和北欧问卷（NQ）的修改版来调查他们的身体健康，而哥本哈根心理社会问卷（COPSOQ）和警察操作压力问卷（PSQ-Op）将用于分析他们的心理健康。此外，将评估工作场所特定的心理社会因素（使用先前在专家访谈中评估过的自行设计的问题）。
迄今为止，缺乏基于问卷的关于警察中MSD患病率或与伤害或心理社会工作场所因素相关的MSD的最新数据。因此，在本研究中，这些MSD将与上身姿势定量数据相关联。如果这些结果证明身体和/或心理社会压力增加，那么应分析现有的工作场所健康促进措施，并在必要时进行修改。
