“…A police debriefing resulted in no differences in performance relative to usual processes (Carlier, Voerman, and Gersons, 2000), whereas imagery training increased police performance after a simulated event relative to usual training (Arnetz et al, 2009). Situational awareness training was associated with significantly higher perceived abilities during stress or threat five years later than no training; however, actual abilities and performance were not reported (O'Hare and Beer, 2018).…”

“…Within resilience-focused interventions, cognitive-behavioral models are the most common, providing the backbone of resilience training: psychoeducation, cognitive and emotional reappraisal, exposure to stressors, role-playing, breathing techniques, and debriefing (e.g., Au et al 2019;Carleton et al 2018;Chitra and Karunanidhi 2021;Romosiou et al 2019). Training guidelines for high-risk professionals recommend including appraisal and meta-reflective strategies as critical (Fletcher and Sarkar 2013;Matthews et al 2019), along with situational awareness and physiological indices of affective and cognitive processes (O'Hare and Beer 2018).…”

Through the course of their career, it is expected that police officers are exposed to stressful and emotionally challenging environments, which, combined with well-known organizational and occupational stressors, makes this professional class vulnerable to several psychological and medical conditions. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing intervention programs that seek to minimize the impact of the changing nature of police work within a changing society and promote skills that enable police officers to deal more effectively with the current and future challenges. Therefore, the aim of this review is to systematize resilience training intervention programs and characterize their format, content, and efficacy. For that purpose, we searched four databases for resilience programs delivered to the police. We reached a final sample of 32 articles from a total of 550 published studies. The articles considered were divided into three main groups: mindfulness-based resilience interventions (n = 13), neurobiological-based resilience interventions (n = 13), and other resilience training interventions that did not fit in the previous categories (n = 6). There was much inter-intervention variability, mainly concerning their structure and approach. However, the intervention programs were relatively uniform in the topics covered, such as psychoeducation, police scenario simulation, and debriefing. Nonetheless, most studies found positive outcomes on the variables of interest, predominantly clinical and performance indicators (e.g., stress, anxiety, decision-making). Subsequent research endeavors could aim to determine the most reliable measure outcome measures for resilience variables and intervention efficacy, as alongside identifying pivotal occupational factors crucial to a robust and impactful resilience intervention.

“…Shared SA is a precursor of decision-making and is necessary for team coordination and performance [ 13 ]. Specific and targeted educational programmes to increase SA have been developed for aviation, the military [ 11 ], the police [ 14 ] and operating room personnel [ 15 ]. Education in SA has been suggested to be effective for the detection of patient deterioration [ 16 ].…”

Background When working in complex environments with critically ill patients, team performance is influenced by situation awareness in teams. Moreover, improved situation awareness in the teams will probably improve team and task performance. The aim of this study is to evaluate an educational programme on situation awareness for interprofessional teams at the intensive care units using team and task performance as outcomes. Method Twenty interprofessional teams from the northern part of Sweden participated in this randomized controlled intervention study conducted in situ in two intensive care units. The study was based on three cases (cases 0, 1 and 2) with patients in a critical situation. The intervention group (n = 11) participated in a two-hour educational programme in situation awareness, including theory, practice, and reflection, while the control group (n = 9) performed the training without education in situation awareness. The outcomes were team performance (TEAM instrument), task performance (ABCDE checklist) and situation awareness (Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT)). Generalized estimating equation were used to analyse the changes from case 0 to case 2, and from case 1 to case 2. Results Education in situation awareness in the intervention group improved TEAM leadership (p = 0.003), TEAM task management (p = 0.018) and TEAM total (p = 0.030) when comparing cases 1 and 2; these significant improvements were not found in the control group. No significant differences were observed in the SAGAT or the ABCDE checklist. Conclusions This intervention study shows that a 2-h education in situation awareness improved parts of team performance in an acute care situation. Team leadership and task management improved in the intervention group, which may indicate that the one or several of the components in situation awareness (perception, comprehension and projection) were improved. However, in the present study this potential increase in situation awareness was not detected with SAGAT. Further research is needed to evaluate how educational programs can be used to increase situation awareness in interprofessional ICU teams and to establish which components that are essential in these programs. Trial registration This randomized controlled trial was not registered as it does not report the results of health outcomes after a health care intervention on human participants.
