Abstract

Abstract: Objective To undrstand the status of social support and mental health of grass-roots police in various districts of Beijing,explore the correlation between them and the moderating effect of coping style. Methods A cluster sampling was conducted among the grassroots policemen of police stations,criminal police detachment and traffic team in 16 districts of Beijing. 391 valid questionnaires were collected through a questionnaire survey from February to September 2021 to compare the differences between the psychological state of grass-roots police and the national norm,as well as the differences between different gender,working years and type of police. The effects of social support and coping styles on mental health were analyzed and discussed. Results The factor scores of somatization[（1.66±0.61）points], obsessive-compulsive symptoms[（1.83±0.57）points], depression[（1.71±0.62）points], anxiety[（1.59±0.56）poinys], hostility[（1.69±0.70）points], terror[（1.35±0.50）points], paranoia [（1.65±0.64）poinys] and psychosis[（1.48±0.57）points] of grassroots police in Beijing were significantly higher than the national norms（all P<0.01）. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of self-reporting inventory（SCL-90）, social support and coping style among grass-roots police of different gender, working years and type of police（all P<0.01）. The total score and each factor score of SCL-90 in grassroots police in Beijing were significantly negatively correlated with the score of positive coping（r=-0.196--0.043, all P<0.05）, and positively correlated with the score of negative coping（r=0.195-0.272, all P<0.05）. The objective support,subjective support,support availability and total social support scale of grassroots police in Beijing were significantly negatively correlated with the total score and each factor score of SCL-90（r=-0.419--0.147,all P<0.05）. The positive coping had a positive moderating effect between social support and SCL-90 score（β=0.140,P<0.01）. Conclusion Adopting positive coping style is conducive to enhancing the social support and mental health of grassroots police in Beijing.
