The impact of occupational psychological stress on the subjective well-being of police: mechanisms and interventions.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWhile research has confirmed that occupational psychological stress has a negative impact on subjective well-being, no study has yet explored the specific occupational group of frontline police officers.
methodsThis study used a questionnaire to explore the effects of occupational psychological stress on the subjective well-being of police and to explore the psychological mechanisms and boundary conditions of this process. Then, using the gathered data, an intervention program was developed to be used to improve police officers' sense of subjective well-being.
resultsThe study found that: (1) occupational psychological stress significantly and negatively predicts the subjective well-being of police officers; (2) professional identity plays a mediating role on the relationship between occupational psychological stress and subjective well-being in police officers; (3) job security has a moderating role on the relationship between occupational psychological stress and subjective well-being; (4) the developed intervention, "A Positive Psychology Approach to Group Psychological Counseling Manual for Police Officers," was shown to effectively alleviate the occupational psychological pressure experienced by police officers, significantly enhancing their sense of subjective well-being.
conclusionOccupational psychological stress adversely affects the well-being of frontline police. Job resources can enhance one's sense of professional identity and act as a buffer against the negative effects of job demands on one's subjective well-being.
