Abstract

<p>The work is directed towards studying self-regulation, components of the emotional state of police officers as professionally important qualities of specialists in extreme professions. The aim of the study was to develop and implement training to reduce anxiety, stress and improve mood in the professional activities of police officers. The seven-month period of work included 3 stages: input and output diagnostics, development and implementation of self-regulation training. Empirically investigated 64 police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kemerovo region (control and experimental groups of 32 people). The following methods were used: A.S. Karelin “Diagnostics of anxiety and depression”; “Situational anxiety” by C.D. Spielberger and Y.L. Khanin; “WAM (Well-being, activity, mood)” by V.A. Doskin, N.A. Lavrentieva; Stress Scale PSM-25 Lemur-Tessier-Fillion; “Fatigue—Monotony—Satiety—Stress” by A.B. Leonova; DS-30 V.P. Pryadein. The initially established low level of self-regulation (31.2%), mood and anxiety (6.2% each), high stress level (9.3%) were corrected by training with blocks of bodily, verbal and sensory-figurative effects for 6 months (35 hours, 1-2 times a week). As a result, in the implementation group, the median score increased in terms of self-regulation (by 39%), mood (by 62%), decreased in situational (by 31%), general anxiety (by 10%); stress (by 13-22%), there were no significant differences in the input and output diagnostic indicators in the control group, which indicates the effectiveness of the implementation of the training. The unstable situation in the country recommends the use of training among police battalions on a permanent basis.</p>
