Purpose

Most research on trauma, resilience and well-being among police officers focusses on those still on active duty. Comparatively speaking, and despite an aging workforce and established negative health outcomes, similar inquiries involving police retirees are not as common. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of on- and off-the-job trauma and resilience on satisfaction with life among a sample of retired police officers.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected via a cross-sectional nonprobability electronic survey of police retirees in Ontario, Canada. While controlling for employment-related variables and demographic characteristics, a series of hierarchical multiple regression models were used to examine the effects of on- and off-the-job trauma and resilience on satisfaction with life among a sample of 932 participants.

Findings

The analysis indicates that off-the-job trauma and both personal and social dimensions of resilience contribute uniquely to satisfaction with life among police retirees. Moreover, this full model explains nearly 37% of the variance in satisfaction with life.

Originality/value

This study's findings offer further direction to those working to support the health and well-being of officers currently on the job and those well into their retirement years.

10-7岁之后：退休警官的创伤，韧性和生活满意度

目的

关于警务人员的创伤，复原力和福祉的大多数研究都集中在仍在执行任务的人员上。相对而言，尽管劳动力老龄化并确定了不利的健康结果，但涉及警察退休人员的类似询问并不普遍。本文的目的是研究在一个退休的警察样本中，工作时和工作时的创伤和韧性对生活满意度的影响。

设计/方法/方法

数据是通过对加拿大安大略省警察退休人员进行的非概率横断面电子调查收集的。在控制与就业相关的变量和人口统计特征的同时，使用了一系列的分层多元回归模型来检验932名参与者的工作中和工作中的创伤和韧性对生活满意度的影响。

发现

分析表明，工作中的创伤以及个人和社会的应变能力都对警察退休人员的生活满意度产生了独特的影响。此外，这个完整的模型可以解释将近37％的人对生活满意度的差异。

创意/价值

这项研究的结果为那些致力于支持目前在职人员以及退休后的人员的健康和福祉的人员提供了进一步的指导。
