警察经常暴露于潜在的创伤事件，但大多数人不会患上创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。社会支持已被确定为一个因素，可能会保持在这一人群的福祉，虽然什么是支持或不支持的互动还不清楚。探讨警务人员在发生痛苦事件后的支持性和不支持性互动经验。对19名警官进行了半结构化访谈。使用Braun和Clarke（2006）的主题分析方法对成绩单进行分析。参与者描述了一系列与同事，朋友和家人的支持性互动，以及阻碍互动的社会限制。在整个叙述中，谈论痛苦事件的影响时的矛盾心理令人震惊。可用支持的背景和来源，以及对谈话的信念，影响了他们的互动。幽默是与同事互动的一个核心特征;与伴侣和亲密家人的谈话更多是情绪化的，尽管官员为了保护他人而限制细节。研究结果提供了初步的见解的过程中，社会支持，可能有助于恢复警察创伤性事件。需要进一步的研究来检查是否支持和不支持的互动的经验不同的PTSD和那些。
Police officers are routinely exposed to potentially traumatic incidents yet the majority do not develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Social support has been identified as one factor that may maintain wellbeing in this population, although what constitutes supportive or unsupportive interactions is unclear. To explore police officers’ experiences of supportive and unsupportive interactions following distressing incidents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 police officers. Transcripts were analysed using Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis approach. Participants described a range of supportive interactions with colleagues, friends, and family, as well as social constraints that hindered interactions. Ambivalence about talking about the impact of distressing events was striking throughout the accounts. The context and source of available support, as well as beliefs about talking, influenced their interactions. Humour was a central feature of interactions with colleagues; more emotional talk occurred with partners and close family, albeit with officers limiting details in order to protect others. The findings provide tentative insights into the processes of social support that may contribute to the resilience of police officers following traumatic incidents. Further research is needed to examine whether the experiences of supportive and unsupportive interactions differ for those with and without PTSD.
