Although working within forensic services can often prove emotionally challenging and stressful, there has been a surprising lack of research into potential interventions aimed at addressing stress and burnout experienced by forensic health care professionals (FHCPs). This study investigated the role of coping and dispositional mindfulness on stress and burnout among FHCPs employed within secure hospitals. One hundred and fifty-one FHCPs were recruited from five different low and medium secure hospitals (secure psychiatric units) in Wales. A postal research pack was used to collect background information and measures of coping, dispositional mindfulness, stress, and burnout. The study found that FHCPs reported elevated levels of stress and moderate levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization but retained a positive sense of personal accomplishment. Higher mindfulness skills were found to be significantly associated with lower levels of maladaptive coping, stress, and burnout. Higher levels of maladaptive coping significantly predicted elevated levels of stress and emotional exhaustion and lower levels of personal accomplishment. In relation to mindfulness, higher levels of acting with awareness significantly predicted lower levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The results appeared to support the commonly held assertion that forensic services can be stressful and emotionally challenging working environments, which can cause FHCPs to experience elevated levels of burnout and stress. Higher levels of dispositional mindfulness were significantly associated with lower maladaptive coping, stress, and burnout levels, therefore mindfulness based interventions could prove to be viable strategies to help support FHCPs. The results also suggested that higher levels of acting with awareness may help prevent FHCPs from experiencing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.

法医专业人士的应对,正念,压力和倦怠

尽管在法医服务部门工作通常会在情感上充满挑战和压力,但令人惊讶的是,缺乏针对旨在解决法医专业人士(FHCP)所经历的压力和倦怠的潜在干预措施的研究。这项研究调查了应对和性格注意对在安全医院中使用的FHCP中的压力和倦怠的作用。从威尔士的五家不同的中低安全医院(安全的精神病科)招募了一百一十一名家庭和家庭保健工作者。邮政研究工具包用于收集背景信息以及应对,性格正念,压力和倦怠的测量方法。研究发现,FHCP报告的压力水平较高,情绪疲惫和人格解体水平中等,但对个人成就感保持积极态度。发现较高的正念技能与较低的适应不良应对,压力和倦怠水平显着相关。适应不良的水平越高,预示着压力和情绪衰竭的水平越高,个人成就感越低。关于正念,较高水平的有意识地行动显着预测了较低水平的情绪疲惫和人格解体。该结果似乎支持通常的说法,即法医服务可能是压力很大且在情感上具有挑战性的工作环境,这可能导致FHCP经历更高的倦怠和压力水平。较高的性格正念与较低的适应不良应对,压力和倦怠水平显着相关,因此,基于正念的干预措施可能被证明是支持FHCP的可行策略。结果还表明,更高水平的有意识的行动可能有助于防止FHCP经历情绪疲惫和人格解体。
