The objective was to identify validated instruments from the literature that assess the mental health of police officers.
This is a systematic review of validated instruments used to assess the mental health of police officers. Searches were conducted in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL/EBSCO, and Virtual Health Library databases. This review follows the JBI Manual for Systematic Reviews and the PRISMA statement. The methodological quality of the articles and the risk of bias were assessed.
A total of 1530 studies were identified across the six databases, with 158 studies read in full by the authors after excluding duplicates and those that did not meet the inclusion criteria. The final 29 studies were analyzed for methodological quality and risk of bias using the AXIS and SFS-D tools.
This review identified 27 self-administered validated instruments useful for assessing various mental health outcomes in police officers, with the most frequently used being the Police Stress Questionnaire. These findings may help guide security force administration, occupational health professionals, and mental health researchers in selecting and implementing psychometrically reliable instruments for screening the mental health of police officers.
旨在从文献中确定评估警察心理健康的经过验证的工具。
这是一项对用于评估警察心理健康的经过验证的工具进行系统评价的研究。在 MEDLINE、Web of Science、Scopus、Embase、CINAHL/EBSCO 和 Virtual Health Library 数据库中进行了检索。本综述遵循 JBI 系统评价手册和 PRISMA 声明。评估了文章的方法学质量和偏倚风险。
在六个数据库中共确定了 1530 项研究，经过排除重复项和不符合纳入标准的研究后，作者共阅读了 158 篇全文。使用 AXIS 和 SFS-D 工具对最终的 29 项研究进行了方法学质量和偏倚风险分析。
本综述确定了 27 种经过验证的自我管理工具，可用于评估警察的各种心理健康结果，使用最频繁的是警察压力问卷。这些发现可能有助于指导安全部队管理、职业健康专业人员和心理健康研究人员选择和实施心理测量可靠的工具，以筛查警察的心理健康。
