Investigative interviews with children A Qualitative Study of Moral Stress Among Police Employees Working in the Special Victim Unit in Norway
Investigating child abuse represents a potential health risk for police employees. However, less is known about the distinct nature of these challenges for specific groups within the special victim unit. We applied qualitative research design, and conducted 15 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with police employees specialized in child investigative interviews, all employed at a large police district in Norway. We used a reflexive, thematic an…
Work Stressors and Resources Among Police Emergency Dispatchers. Exploring Opportunities for Improving Working Conditions for Employees Critical for Public Safety
Emergency dispatchers are required to remain calm and focused, managing complex and intense situations when allocating resources and providing information to first responders on site. However, despite their importance in securing public safety, the working conditions of emergency dispatchers have received marginal attention. This study addresses this gap by exploring: (1) “How do police emergency dispatchers experience their working conditions?” …
Organisational Support for Police Employees Investigating Child Abuse in Norway
Requests have been made for research addressing the mental health of police employees, especially studies on available organisational support and stigma. We explored the mental health work climate, opportunities for debriefing, and training among police employees who investigate child abuse cases in Norway. The data was collected through a survey: 77 police employees from six police districts responded, of whom 41% reported that there was an orga…
Sex-specific psychological risk profiles of CVD in the Hunt study: The role of neuroticism and extraversion
OBJECTIVE: The aim was to investigate psychological risk profiles of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Depression and anxiety have been linked to CVD, but research has not incorporated personality and sex-specific analyses are warranted. In this study, we examine the role of sex, neuroticism, extraversion, anxiety and depression on the risk of CVD. METHOD: Using data from the HUNT-study and the mortality register, 32,383 (57.10% men) participants wer…

Antidepressant Use and Risk of Myocardial Infarction: A Longitudinal Investigation of Sex-Specific Associations in the Hunt Study
OBJECTIVE: Antidepressants are thought to affect the risk of cardiovascular disease, although the nature of the association is unclear. Men and women have unique cardiovascular risk factors, and sex differences in depression as well as the efficacy of antidepressants are important to consider. We examined whether antidepressant use was associated with risk of having a myocardial infarction (MI) and whether this association was sex-specific. METHO…
Hoping for the best but unprepared for the worst? Explorative analysis of police students’ encounter with child abuse investigation
Child abuse investigation can include complex stressors increasing the risk of secondary trauma among police professionals. This study explores the preparedness of police students about to engage in child abuse investigation tasks during their recruit period. We did semi-structured interviews with 19 police students to explore the students’ expectations and resources they relied on to cope with stress. Through thematic analysis, five themes emerg…
Anxiety as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease independent of depression: A prospective examination of community-dwelling men (the MrOS study)
Objective Anxiety and depression have been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Whether anxiety is a risk factor independent from depression, and if associations are limited to specific CVD outcomes remains unclear. Design: Participants (N = 3135) of the prospective Osteoporotic Fracturs in Men Sleep ancillary study were community-dwelling men (age ≥ 65) living in the US. Main outcome measures: The Goldberg Anxiety and Depres…
Psychometric Properties of the Snaith–Hamilton Pleasure Scale and a Facet-Level Analysis of the Relationship Between Anhedonia and Extraversion in a Nonclinical Sample
The aim of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) and look at facets of extraversion as predictors of anhedonia. SHAPS is hypothesized to be multidimensional, stable over time in a nonclinical sample, and related to extraversion on both dimension and facet level. Data collection was conducted at baseline ( N = 362) and at a 10-week follow-up ( N = 94). The structural properties of SH…
The Strives, Struggles, and Successes of Women Diagnosed With ADHD as Adults
The objective of the study was to aid an understanding of women's experiences of living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with special consideration of the role of stigma and gender-specific issues. Semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted with five women aged 32 to 50 years, all diagnosed with ADHD as adults. The interviews were analyzed in accordance with thematic analysis. The data analyses were centered around fiv…
