Police officers are exposed to a particularly high risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and psychosocial stress due to their working conditions. Therefore, the aim of this project will be to assess the occupational physical and mental health of police officers from an organizational unit of the police force of a German federal state. The aim is to analyze at least 200 active police officers of a state police force in Germany between the age of 18 and 65 years. In a mixed-methods design, a video raster stereography-based measurement of the upper body posture and a modified version of the Nordic Questionnaire (NQ) will be used for investigating their physical health, while the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) and the Operational Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ-Op) will be used to analyze their mental health. In addition, job-specific psychosocial factors at the workplace will be assessed (using self-designed questions that were previously evaluated in an expert interview). To date, there is a lack of current questionnaire-based data on the prevalence of MSDs in police officers, or of MSDs associated with injuries or psychosocial workplace factors. Thus, in this study, these MSDs will be correlated with quantitative upper body posture data. If these results prove an increased physical and/or psychosocial stress, then the existing workplace health promotion measures should be analyzed and modified if necessary.

来自德国联邦州警察部队组织单位的警察的肌肉骨骼投诉、姿势模式和社会心理工作场所预测因素 - 一项研究方案

由于工作条件，警务人员面临特别高的肌肉骨骼疾病 (MSD) 和社会心理压力风险。因此，该项目的目的是评估来自德国联邦州警察部队组织单位的警察的职业身心健康。目的是分析德国国家警察部队中至少 200 名年龄在 18 至 65 岁之间的现役警官。在混合方法设计中，将使用基于视频光栅立体图的上身姿势测量和北欧问卷 (NQ) 的修改版本来调查他们的身体健康，而哥本哈根心理社会问卷 (COPSOQ) 和操作警察压力问卷 (PSQ-Op) 将用于分析他们的心理健康状况。此外，将评估工作场所的特定工作心理社会因素（使用先前在专家访谈中评估过的自行设计的问题）。迄今为止，目前缺乏关于警察 MSD 患病率或与伤害或社会心理工作场所因素相关的 MSD 流行情况的问卷调查数据。因此，在这项研究中，这些 MSD 将与定量上半身姿势数据相关联。如果这些结果证明身体和/或社会心理压力增加，则应分析现有的工作场所健康促进措施，并在必要时进行修改。或与伤害或社会心理工作场所因素相关的 MSD。因此，在这项研究中，这些 MSD 将与定量上半身姿势数据相关联。如果这些结果证明身体和/或社会心理压力增加，则应分析现有的工作场所健康促进措施，并在必要时进行修改。或与伤害或社会心理工作场所因素相关的 MSD。因此，在这项研究中，这些 MSD 将与定量上半身姿势数据相关联。如果这些结果证明身体和/或社会心理压力增加，则应分析现有的工作场所健康促进措施，并在必要时进行修改。
