What are the reasons that affect the police's mental health?

It's stressful. Police work is one of the occupations that bear the greatest social pressure. Psychologists point out that the police witnessed social ugliness and feelings three years before taking office, more than ordinary people saw and felt in their whole lives; In all emergency occupations, the psychological stress index carried by the police at work ranks first. For example, 2 1% of the policemen in Heping Branch of Shenyang Public Security Bureau were anxious, and the severity was1.5%; 58% people are depressed and 8.7% people are serious. Similarly, 30% of the police in Tiexi Branch of Shenyang Public Security Bureau were anxious, and the severity was 3.8%. 6 1.3% had depression, and the severity was 10%. The test results show that the nature and characteristics of the police profession determine that the police have to face two kinds of psychological pressures in the process of law enforcement: one is the physical injury caused by criminal suspects to the police; The second is the psychological stimulation after the police hurt the suspect. These constant pressures directly or indirectly lead to the aggravation of the psychological and physical diseases of the police, which often leads to some illegal and excessive behaviors of the police. For example, suicide: the cause is too much pressure to extricate themselves; Killing: The reason is that you can't solve unhappiness and depression.

2. Insufficient police force. Due to the tight establishment and insufficient police force, the public security organs have been overloaded for a long time, resulting in less rest and vacation for the police. It is understood that the frontline police in China have to work 1 1~ 15 hours every day on average, and can only take one day off every three weeks. Long-term fatigue, from overwork to illness, has become one of the important factors of high police casualties. For example, as a grassroots policeman, in addition to normal work, he has to undertake daily policing, social patrol and duty, and spend more time staying behind to prepare for emergencies. In addition, all kinds of mass activities, public welfare activities, sports events, cultural performances, festivals, temple fairs and other security work require police on duty. In maintaining social order and public order, the contemporary police should not only bear the responsibility of cracking down on crimes, but also bear the mission of serving the people.

In the policing activities in the new era, the work of the police is more arduous and demanding. Overworked all the year round, lack of adequate rest and adjustment, poor sleep, irregular diet and low mood not only affect the daily life of the police, but also interfere with the family life of the police, leading to the continuous decline of the health level of the police, which is also one of the main reasons for the police to break down from constant overwork.

3. Lack of exercise. Lack of exercise is one of the important factors leading to heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer. The survey found that 70% of the police in our country think they are tired enough and don't need special physical exercise. Over time, the physical function gradually declined, and the athletic ability became worse. During the period of 1999, the China avant-garde sports association conducted a physical examination survey on the police, and the respondents were * * *158.87 million policemen from Beijing and Liaoning. The results show that the prevalence rate of police is as high as 86%. Among them, the physical health status of the police group under the age of 45 showed a significant downward trend year by year. According to the analysis, the reason for this situation is that most policemen have high demands on themselves at work, are under great pressure, and are in a state of tension and fatigue for a long time, which leads to physical dysfunction and unbalanced nutritional structure, laying a serious hidden danger for the police to get sick. For another example, from 65438 to 0998, Shenyang Public Security Hospital conducted five health checks on the whole police of Shenyang Public Security Bureau. It is found that fatty liver, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, chronic gastritis, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, urinary inflammation, varicose veins of lower limbs, arthritis, coronary heart disease and diabetes are the main diseases that threaten the health of police. All kinds of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases are basically consistent with the general population, but the incidence of fatty liver and hyperlipidemia is significantly higher than that of the general population.

4. Life is irregular. The causes of police illness are closely related to long-term mental stress, irregular diet, no fixed place to live, and difficulty in ensuring normal sleep and rest time. Some experts pointed out that smoking, drinking and frequent nightlife often become a way or means for the police to relieve the pressure of work and life, and even become hobbies and habits that are difficult to discard. Common sense of life tells us that people's lives will be threatened if they don't cherish their health, don't follow the pace of life and lack exercise. In some unexpected cases, they often can't eat enough, can't sleep, and their biological clocks are destroyed, which leads to the physical decline of most policemen and serious physical overdraft. Many policemen are on the verge of sub-health or danger. A few policemen can't even bear this high-risk, high-load and high-intensity work pressure. They are exhausted all day, have psychological barriers, and have extreme behaviors such as self-mutilation, suicide, extorting confessions by torture, and shooting people. ?
