The relationship between perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, debriefing and professional quality of life in Florida law enforcement officers
Open accessAbstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, and debriefing on the one hand, and compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress on the other hand in Florida law enforcement officers. To explore the relationships between these constructs, the research examined the relationships of the work environment of Florida law enforcement personnel by administering surveys gaging perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, psychological resilience, and debriefing activities that the personnel participate in. The Professional Quality of Life: Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue Version 5 was also sent out to establish the self-reported levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. A total of 826 surveys were completed by law enforcement personnel across the state of Florida. The study found that there were relationships between perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, and debriefing activities and the levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress in Florida law enforcement personnel.

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.
