Abstract

There has been an increase in wellness programming within police agencies across the U.S. We examined factors contributing to and inhibiting use of within-department and external mental wellness programming using a sequential mixed methods design within a large Mid-Atlantic U.S. metropolitan police department. Sworn and civilian policing personnel completed surveys ( n = 297) and interviews ( n = 26). Regression models and chi-square tests were run on survey data, and open coding was used to analyze qualitative interview data. Results from triangulation of data demonstrated departmental mistrust and confidentiality in service usage were barriers to services. Additionally, the pervasiveness of stigma within the department and the field of policing at large was emphasized. Health insurance was key to accessing mental health services when people reached a point of extreme stress. In response, within-agency messaging about confidentiality of services and options for external mental health services should be prioritized in police agencies. Furthermore, police agencies looking to promote mental health could start by offering health insurance plans that include coverage of mental health services.

促进和阻碍警察使用健康资源的因素:混合方法研究
我们在美国大西洋沿岸中部的一个大型都市警察部门内,采用顺序混合方法设计,研究了促进和阻碍使用部门内部和外部心理健康计划的因素。宣誓和文职警务人员完成了调查(n = 297)和访谈(n = 26)。调查数据采用回归模型和卡方检验,定性访谈数据采用开放式编码分析。数据三角分析的结果表明,部门对服务使用的不信任和保密性是服务的障碍。此外,部门内部和整个警务领域普遍存在的耻辱感也得到了强调。当人们达到极度紧张的程度时,医疗保险是获得心理健康服务的关键。对此,警察机构应优先考虑在机构内部传达有关服务保密性和外部心理健康服务选择的信 息。此外,希望促进心理健康的警察机构可以从提供包含心理健康服务的医疗保险计划开 始。
