“…They further asserted that investigating police personnel involved with the work environment and traumatic victims may experience traumatic imagery, moderate traumatic stress, traumatic response transfer, fatigue and impulsive feelings of compassion to the symptoms of depression. These findings are in agreement with a study conducted by Collazo (2020), which concluded that police officers who have experienced high stress are those who are often faced with traumatic task situations. Traumatic means a very shocking event that leaves a deep and lasting impression (Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, 2005).…”

This study was conducted to identify the relationship between job demands and family social support with depression among the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) officers of the Criminal Investigation Department in Selangor. A total of 336 RMP officers of the Criminal Investigation Department were randomly selected as respondents of this study. Data were gathered through a self-administered questionnaire. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) was used to measure the level of depression among the respondents. Meanwhile, the Quantitative Workload Inventory (QWI) (Spector & Jex, 1998) was used to measure the respondents' job demands and the Family Support Inventory for Workers (FSIW) (King et al., 1995) was used to measure the respondents' family social support. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between job demands, family emotional support and family instrumental support with depression among the respondents. The study also found that family instrumental support was the strongest predictor of the respondents' depression. Thus, the study concludes that any intervention program planned by the RMP to ensure the wellbeing of its officers particularly on the issue of depression must consider the aspect of job demands and family social support.

“…In this environment they can be subject to violence as a direct result of their employment [8][9][10]. In accordance with the most recent literature [11][12][13][14][15], there is a clear need to explore and understand the nature of traumatic incidents and their impact on POs to assess the possible psychological and physiological consequences.…”

Background. Because of their work, emergency workers, such as police officers (POs), are exposed to traumatic events on a daily basis. These experiences can have consequences in terms of physical and emotional stress. Primary attachment relationships affect the development of coping strategies for dealing with stressful events (primarily hyperactivating strategies in entangled adults and hypo-activating strategies in dismissing adults). In this study, we explored how POs describe the experience of traumatic accidents, the effects they reported and their coping strategies related to their attachment style. Methods. We used a quantitative-qualitative method. Thirty-nine POs were administered the Beck Depression Inventory, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and a semi-structured interview about traumatic events and reactions. Interviews were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results. Traumatic events at work predominantly concerned aggressions, witnessing deaths, forced hospitalizations, and domestic violence involving children. POs with a responsible role were more likely than POs to use security-based strategies. Most POs narrated overactivation and deactivation strategies, which were associated with depressive symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization. Conclusions. These results can be useful to improve trauma-informed interventions for POs based on their different attachment styles and coping strategies.
