Abstract

This article presents findings from a survey which explored exposure to sexual offence material in Police personnel (N = 384). Factor analysis determined that two types of coping strategies were employed: ‘detachment’ and ‘avoidance’, with a further factor regarding ‘negative coping beliefs’. Two types of adverse impact analogous to post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms were identified: ‘cognitive/affective changes’ and ‘increased suspicion/vigilance’. Multiple regression analysis found that avoidance-based coping strategies, holding negative beliefs about coping, being a parent, and having personally experienced sexual abuse were all predictive of increased levels of traumatic stress symptoms.
性创伤警察人员创伤应激症状的预测因素
本文介绍了一项调查的结果,该调查探讨了警察人员(N = 384)接触性犯罪材料的情况。因素分析确定了两种应对策略:“超然”和“回避”,还有一个关于“消极应对信念”的因素。发现了两种类似于创伤后应激障碍症状的不良影响:“认知/情感变化”和“怀疑/警惕增加”。多元回归分析发现,以回避为基础的应对策略、对应对持消极信念、为人父母、亲身经历过性虐待都预示着创伤性应激症状水平的提高。
