Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, and debriefing on the one hand, and compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress on the other hand in Florida law enforcement officers. To explore the relationships between these constructs, the research examined the relationships of the work environment of Florida law enforcement personnel by administering surveys gaging perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, psychological resilience, and debriefing activities that the personnel participate in. The Professional Quality of Life: Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue Version 5 was also sent out to establish the self-reported levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. A total of 826 surveys were completed by law enforcement personnel across the state of Florida. The study found that there were relationships between perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, and debriefing activities and the levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress in Florida law enforcement personnel.
