The\naim of this study was to examine if and how many early career police officers\nhad already experienced potentially traumatizing situations and how many met\neither subsyndromal or complete PTSD criteria. A further subject of interest was\nif the officers knew the concept of psychosocial emergency care for first\nresponders (PSNV-E) and if such support was made use of.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Method Early career police officers (n=221) were assessed via an\nonline survey about their posttraumatic stress symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results More than half of the participants (n=121) reported having\nexperienced at least one traumatic deployment. PTSD prevalence in this group was\nat 1.7%, an additional 14.9% showed partial PTSD. One-fifth did not know about\nthe PSNV-E concept.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion Police officers are confronted with a range of extremely\nstressful events early in their career leading to first symptoms of PTSD in some\nof them. Early prevention strategies as well as the identification of those\naffected for secondary prevention is of very high relevance for long-term mental\nhealth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2351-2533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,15]],"date-time":"2024-07-15T18:48:32Z","timestamp":1721069312000},"page":"274-282","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Experiences
