Abstract:
This study compared the stress levels and physical and mental health symptoms of patrol officers and emergency dispatch officers. We further explored stressors affecting the physical and mental health of police officers. Survey data were obtained from 254 patrol officers and 177 emergency dispatch officers working. The average stress level exerted by the stressors was compared between groups. Logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the effects of the stressors on police officers physical and mental health symptoms. Stress related to organizational management had the highest impact on physical and mental health, and differences in the stressors affecting the two groups physical and mental health were found. The results suggest that strategies reflecting the respective division stressors and characteristics are necessary. Furthermore, police officers stress levels must be closely monitored and reduced through stress management programs.
