摘要

研究目的本研究旨在根据调查人员接触儿童性虐待材料(CSAM)的情况以及相关的心理健康症状,确定调查人员的不同特征。具体来说,本研究旨在将复原力特征与那些表现出精神病理学的特征区分开来。此外,本研究还将复原力作为一个跨诊断和远端因素进行探讨,研究个人和机构层面的应对和复原因素:本研究的样本由 500 名接触过 CSAM 的警方调查人员和法医检验人员组成。潜在特征分析根据 CSAM 暴露和精神病理学确定了五种特征。对个人和机构层面的各种因素进行了比较:出现了不同的特征,包括低暴露和心理病理学特征、平均暴露和低心理病理学特征、低暴露和高心理病理学特征、高暴露和低心理病理学特征(代表复原力)以及高暴露和高心理病理学特征。复原力特征在一般复原力、未来取向和生活目的方面表现出较高的得分。在个人和机构层面的因素中发现了值得注意的差异,强调了赞赏、支持和积极的工作氛围的作用:本研究强调了开展 CSAM 调查的执法专业人员经历的多样性。抗压能力特征突出了重视、赞赏、支持和积极的工作氛围等因素的重要性。这些发现对健康培训和机构实践具有启示意义,有助于提高致力于保护儿童的调查人员的幸福感。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。

Exposure to child sexual abuse materials among law enforcement investigative personnel: Exploring trauma and resilience profiles.

Objective: This study aimed to identify distinct profiles of investigators based on their exposure to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and associated mental health symptomatology. Specifically, the study seeks to differentiate resilient profiles from those exhibiting psychopathologies. Additionally, this research explores resilience as a transdiagnostic and distal factor, examining individual- and agency-level coping and resiliency factors.

Method: An analytic sample of 500 police investigators and forensic examiners exposed to CSAM comprised the current sample. Latent profile analysis identified five profiles based on CSAM exposure and psychopathology. Profiles were compared across various individual- and agency-level factors.

Results: Distinct profiles emerged, including low exposure and psychopathology, average exposure and low psychopathology, low exposure and high psychopathology, high exposure and low psychopathology (representing resilience), and high exposure and high psychopathology. Resilient profiles demonstrated higher scores in general resiliency, future orientations, and purpose in life. Noteworthy differences were found in individual- and agency-level factors, emphasizing the role of appreciation, support, and a positive work climate.

Conclusions: The study underscores the diversity of experiences among law enforcement professionals conducting CSAM investigations. Resilient profiles highlight the importance of factors like mattering, appreciation, support, and a positive work climate. These findings have implications for wellness training and agency practices to enhance the well-being of investigators dedicated to protecting children.
