Abstract

Objective: This paper describes mental health related stigma expressed by police to police using a newly developed 11-item Police Officer Stigma Scale and reports on the preliminary psychometric properties (factor structure and internal reliability) of this scale.

Method: The scale used an indirect measurement approach adapted from the Perceived Devaluation and Discrimination Scale. Five themes appropriate to police culture were adapted and six additional items were added. Responses were rated on a 5-point agreement scale with an additional don't know option. Data were collected from officers attending a mandatory workshop (90.5% response).

Results: Exploratory factor analysis showed the scale to be unidimensional and internally reliable (Cronbach's alpha was 0.82). The most endorsed items pertained to avoiding disclosure to a supervisor/manager or to a colleague (85% agreement), that most officers would expect discrimination at work (62%), and that most officers would not want a supervisor or manager who had a mental illness (62%).

Conclusions: Findings highlight that (a) Police-to-police mental illness stigma may be a particularly strong feature of police cultures; (b) police should be a focus for targeted anti-stigma interventions; and

警察对警察表达的精神疾病污名。
目的:采用新编制的11项警官污名量表描述警察对警察的心理健康相关污名,并报告该量表的初步心理测量性质(因子结构和内部信度)。方法:量表采用间接测量方法,改编自《感知贬值与歧视量表》。调整了适合警察文化的五个主题,并增加了六个项目。回答以5分的同意等级进行评分,另外还有一个“不知道”选项。数据收集自参加强制性工作坊的警务人员(90.5%回应)。结果:探索性因子分析显示量表具有单向度和内部信度(Cronbach’s alpha为0.82)。最受欢迎的是避免向主管/经理或同事透露(85%同意),大多数人员希望在工作中受到歧视(62%),以及大多数人员不希望主管或经理患有精神疾病(62%)。结论:调查结果强调(a)警察对警察的精神疾病耻辱可能是警察文化的一个特别强烈的特征;(b)警察应成为有针对性的反污名干预措施的重点;和

期刊介绍: THE ISRAEL JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY publishes original articles dealing with the all bio-psycho-social aspects of psychiatry. While traditionally the journal has published manuscripts relating to mobility, relocation, acculturation, ethnicity, stress situations in war and peace, victimology and mental health in developing countries, papers addressing all aspects of the psychiatry including neuroscience, biological psychiatry, psychopharmacology, psychotherapy and ethics are welcome. The Editor also welcomes pertinent book reviews and correspondence. Preference is given to research reports of no more than 5,000 words not including abstract, text, references, tables and figures. There should be no more than 40 references and 4 tables or figures. Brief reports (1,500 words, 5 references) are considered if they have heuristic value. Books to be considered for review should be sent to the editorial office. Selected book reviews are invited by the editor.
