경찰 과학수사관 PTSD의 체계적 관리와 치유방안에 관한 실증 연구

Abstract

In relation to various environmental changes, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is pointed out as a problem that lowers the work efficiency of scientific investigators, reduces organizational commitment, and reduces job satisfaction in the special characteristics and environment of the police organization. And as scientific officers suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it affects not only the scientific investigator's personal psychological problems, but also his family. Even in forensic work, work efficiency may decrease, such as collecting physical evidence to identify criminals. The purpose of this study is to make policy recommendations for systematic PTSD management and treatment by analyzing the current PTSD conditions of scientific investigators. For an empirical study, a survey was conducted on 504 scientific officers nationwide who could experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) while conducting scientific work. And the results were derived by performing crosstabs analysis and chi-square test between scientific investigators' post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experience and demographic factors. The policy recommendations of this study are as follows. First, A guarantee at the level of the police organization. It is required to prepare a plan for early diagnosis and continuous management of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is necessary to secure and expand mental health support for scientific investigators and police officers at the organizational level. Second, The systematic manpower management of the police organization. Various efforts are required to lower the level of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by police officers including scientific officers. The manpower should be increased so that scientific investigators who have experienced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can adequately provide appropriate counseling and treatment. Third, The activation of active treatment intervention. It is necessary to develop and operate various mental health programs that can reflect the characteristics and desires of scientific officers or police officers in other departments. Fourth, The activation of counseling and treatment by improving awareness. The awareness of police officers, including scientific, about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) should be improved. Fifth, development of specialized psychotherapy and treatment programs. Scientific investigators should research and develop specialized counseling and treatment programs for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by in-depth analysis of the influencing factors.
