摘要

间接创伤是指反复接触受过创伤的个体所产生的创伤,会影响专业人员的心理健康,产生创伤后症状(继发性创伤 [ST])和基本信念的改变(替代性创伤 [VT])。虽然医疗保健提供者对间接创伤进行了广泛研究,但却忽略了警务人员。本研究旨在探讨间接创伤(ST 和 VT)对警察样本的影响。来自科尔多瓦(西班牙)的 112 名警官(80.4% 为男性)平均年龄为 48.69 岁(SD = 8.30),他们完成了一项在线调查,其中包括三个自我报告量表(事件影响量表-R、二次创伤应激量表、世界假设量表)。所有参与者都报告了直接和间接创伤。根据使用的标准不同,间接创伤的影响也有所不同。从定量(即截断分数)来看,ST 和 VT 的程度较轻。然而,从质量上(即诊断算法)来看,21.4%(n = 25)的人因间接暴露(二次创伤)而被诊断为创伤后应激障碍。与未受过创伤的人员相比,受过创伤的人员表现出更高的 ST 和 VT 水平。其中,获得社会支持的人员的 ST 和 VT 水平较低。尽管间接创伤普遍存在,但只有 7% 的参与者获得了心理支持。大多数样本(94%)认为获得心理服务至关重要,84%的样本表示如果有心理服务,他们愿意使用。警务工作的成本往往被低估。要制定有效的预防和干预策略,还需要进一步的调查。

Beyond the Uniform: Impact of Indirect Trauma on Spanish Police Officers

Indirect trauma, produced by repeated exposure to traumatized individuals, has an impact on a professional’s mental health, producing post-traumatic symptoms (secondary trauma [ST]) and changes in their fundamental beliefs (vicarious trauma [VT]). While indirect trauma has been extensively studied in by healthcare providers, police officers have been overlooked. This study aims to explore the impact of indirect trauma (ST and VT) in a sample of police officers. A sample composed of 112 police officers (80.4% males) from Córdoba (Spain), with a mean age of 48.69 years (SD = 8.30), completed an online survey comprised of three self-report measures (Impact of Events Scale-R, Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale, World Assumption Scale). All participants reported direct and indirect trauma. Differences concerning the impact of indirect trauma were found depending on the criteria used. Quantitatively (i.e., cut-off scores), levels of ST and VT were mild. However, qualitatively (i.e., diagnostic algorithm), 21.4% (n = 25) achieved a PTSD diagnosis produced by indirect exposure (secondary trauma). Traumatized officers showed higher levels of ST and VT than non-traumatized officers. Among them, those who received social support showed lower levels of ST and TV. Despite the prevalence of indirect trauma, only 7% of the participants received psychological support. Most of the sample (94%) considered it essential to have access to psychological services, and 84% expressed their willingness to use them if they were available. The cost of police work is often underestimated. Further investigation is required to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies.
