There were three hundred four (304) police forces from the Philippine National Police who were chosen as respondents for the study. They were chosen
through total population sampling, a type of purposive sampling technique that studies a population sharing a particular set of characteristics such as being police officers serving as forces designated in the field by
the Philippine National Police.
This study measured police organizational and operational stress, evaluate the mental help-seeking attitudes of police officers, identify differences in their mental
help-seeking attitudes and stress level according to age, gender, and rank
classification.
Specifically, it sought
answers to the following questions:
1. What is the level of police organizational and
operational stress of the respondents?
2. What is the level of mental help-seeking attitude of
the respondents?
3. What is the difference in the stress level and mental help-seeking attitudes of respondents when grouped according to age, gender, and rank classification
Questionnaires were used to measure these variables. The
respondents were three hundred four (304) police officers serving as forces designated in the field by the Philippine National Police during the data gathering. The mean was used to determine the level of police organizational
and operational stress; whereas, the T-Test was used to compare differences in the weighted means of the respondents’ levels of police stress and mental
help-seeking attitudes according to age, gender, and rank.
Based on the analysis and interpretation of the gathered data, the following are the general findings:
(a) The police forces have low levels of stress arising from inherent aspects of work, the performance of their tasks, work and organizational environment; (b) Police forces have high positive attitudes towards seeking help from mental health professionals; (c) Stress levels of police forces were significantly influenced by gender. Female police officers feel more stress compared to males while there is no significant difference in their mental help-seeking attitudes. Stress levels of police forces and their mental help-seeking attitudes are not influenced by
age. Rank classification has no significant effect on the level of stress of police forces towards integral aspects of work and attitude towards seeking professional mental help.
Based on the findings, the following are the derived
conclusions: (1) The inherent aspects of work, the performance of tasks, work, and organizational environment are not perceived by police forces as stressful. (2) Police officers are open to seeking mental help from professionals. (3) Female police officers experience higher levels of organizational and operational stress than males. The age and rank of police officers are irrelevant to their attitudes towards seeking mental help from professionals.
