Predictors of posttraumatic stress disorders in police officers : Facteurs prévisionnels du développement de l'état de stress post-traumatique à la suite d'un événement traumatique chez les policiers: volet prospectif

9 Jul 2013

The purpose of this research project was to arrive at a better understanding of the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a work-related accident by studying the associated risk and protective factors. The project originated with a request from the police, as officers are often exposed to traumatic events. This study is original in that it focuses on little-researched protective factors, distinquishes three types of factors(pre-, peri-, and posttraumatic) and concerns Quebec police officers.
