SCOPE

Stress, coping among police officers

SCOPE project investigates stress, coping among police officers working in real world. For this purpose an innovative Ambulatory Assessment protocol was designed by an interdisciplinary research team (e.g., psychology, engineering, biomedical) combining psychophysiological measures. Theoretical implications of the project will contribute to the development of the state of the art in the area of occupational health assessment among police officers. Applied implications include the development of a technological product able to assess police officers occupational health while working in real world scenarios. Finally, outcomes will impact police officers health and well-being, while contributing to the overall community safeguard.
