“…When a group had fewer than 30 participants, normality was checked with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, resulting as nonnormal in all cases, thus using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test when there were two groups to compare, and the Kruskal Wallis H test when there were three or more groups. If an H test informed of significant differences, the Mann-Whitney U test was employed to make comparisons between the different groups 53 …”

Objective To assess the psychological impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the police and armed forces. Methods Participants (N = 242) completed an online survey that assessed post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), burnout, emotional suppression, and labour and sociodemographic variables. Mean difference, correlation, and stepwise linear regression tests were performed. Results One-third of participants showed severe PTSS, linked to patrolling duties, very frequent contact with other people, fear of contagion, perceived pandemic severity, living with at-risk people, taking a COVID-19 test, working more than normal, suffering an assault, having little vacation, and having to distance from loved ones. PTSS also correlated with the burnout dimensions and emotional suppression. Three-quarters had not received any support from their workplace. Conclusions Effective interventions to optimise these professionals’ personal, social, and working conditions are needed.

“…Lastly, a stepwise multiple linear regression was performed with PTSD symptomatology as a criterion and variables that were significant in previous analyses as predictors, after verifying that the assumptions of normality, linearity, homoscedasticity, and absence of multicollinearity were met 53 …”

“…For the data analysis, documents and interviews were subjected to content analysis to allow replicable and valid inferences from data within their context. Regarding secondary sources, we used qualitative research methods (Muñoz and Romana, 2016; Pardo and San Martín, 2010; Romero, 2005; Strauss and Corbin, 2002; Thomas, 2006). The Quality Office developed several instruments to collect information.…”

Purpose This paper aims to present the lessons learned during the design and implementation of a quality assurance system (QAS) in an academic unit and considers the regulatory changes to institutional accreditation in Chilean higher education, the international standard ISO 21001:2018, and the stakeholders’ requirements. Design/methodology/approach This study uses an abductive approach to identify and evaluate the key factors to implementing a QAS in higher education institutions (HEI). Qualitative and quantitative data were collected through questionnaires, semistructured interviews, focus groups with stakeholders, a literature review and official institutional documents. Documents and interviews were subjected to content analysis using a process of inductive coding to identify and define topics or categories. A descriptive statistical analysis of categorical variables calculated the marginal frequency of each response. All information aided in designing the QAS for the school and its implementation plan. Findings This study highlights major challenges universities could face while implementing QAS, illuminating key principles and reflecting relevant practices. The lessons learned in this process show the importance of balancing accountability and continuous improvement while promoting a more receptive organizational culture, aligning the national and international standards in the early design stage, understanding the roles and responsibilities of the staff, having the support of a quality office and performing a gap analysis. Originality/value This work provides other HEI in need of designing and implementing a QAS with a conceptual and solid framework to integrate internal, external and international regulations of quality assurance criteria and standards. This paper could become a valuable reference for university managers, practitioners and quality professionals facing similar challenges.
