Models of first responder coping: Police officers as a unique population
Open accessAbstract
The term “first responders” refers to a range of professional occupations, including police officers, fire fighters, search and rescue personnel, ambulance personnel, and military personnel. Research by the present authors has developed empirical models of first responder coping, identifying 2 coping pathways with differential outcomes: approach and avoidance coping. The present investigation considers police officers as a unique group and measures the extent to which police officers differ from other first responders in coping behaviours following trauma, based upon a nationally representative survey of 917 Swedish police officers. Although the model of coping behaviours following trauma and the effects on well‐being displayed several similarities between police officers and other first responders, there was compelling evidence to suggest that there are professionally bound aspects of psychological coping, resilience, and well‐being that merit further exploration. Among police officers, for example, avoidant coping was related to worse well‐being, and police officers reported greater consequence to well‐being related to substance use than other first responders. The unique aspects of police officer coping in comparison with other first responder groups are explored.

Mindfulness training may be a promising intervention, given that it promotes adaptive emotion regulation by a process of approach-oriented attention deployment.
“Taking into account the determinant role of emotion regulation to cope with the exposure to stressful events (Arble et al., 2018), mindfulness training may be a promising intervention, given that it promotes adaptive emotion regulation by a process of approach-oriented attention deployment (Farb et al., 2014).”

“The model, which was later replicated with only police officers (Arble et al., 2018), suggested that after exposure to stress they seek resilience and well-being through both approach coping strategies (facing and regulating emotional experience) and/or avoidance coping strategies (avoiding emotional experience).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
