Abstract

The psychological health of law enforcement officers has always been of primary importance. During the performance of official duties, law enforcement officers often face long-term trauma, stress and emotional overload, which can impair their psychological well-being and lead to professional burnout. The purpose of the study is to analyze the psychological well-being and strategies for combating professional burnout of law enforcement officers in order to develop recommendations for improving their mental state and improving the quality of work. The research was conducted by surveying employees of law enforcement agencies during a week (July 2023) using a Google form. The 111 people took part in the survey, including 66.7% of men (74 people) and 33.3% of women (37 people). The article deals with psychological training developed specifically for employees of law enforcement agencies with the aim of ensuring their psychological health and providing self-help tools. This training is aimed at helping employees in solving their psychological needs in the conditions of long-term traumatization and stressful service environment. The effectiveness of training on the psychological well-being of employees of law enforcement agencies is being investigated. According to the results of the survey after the training, more than 80% of the participants noted an improvement in their psychological state and a decrease in the level of stress. Analysis of the results provides important recommendations for supporting law enforcement officers and improving their psychological well-being. Ensuring psychological well-being and combating professional burnout is becoming an urgent task that requires attention and action from both the employees and the management and state bodies to ensure the quality and efficiency of the work of law enforcement agencies. The survey found that workers face significant levels of stress and burnout due to the complexity of their jobs. The need for psychological support and stress management tools is essential. Building psychological well-being includes developing strategies that include self-esteem, psychological support, and other ways to manage stress. Summing up, the conducted survey and training indicate the need to overcome the problem of professional burnout and improve the psychological well-being of law enforcement officers through the development and implementation of special strategies and psychological support programs.
