Background and Aim: Promoting mental health in each stages of life improves the quality of life and brings numerous benefits to human society. The aim of this study was to predict the mental health of Iranian police officers based on the components of repetitive negative thinking.
Methods: This is a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population included Iranian police officers (NAJA) in Tehran, Iran province during 2022. By convenience sampling method, 203 people were selected. Data were collected using the repetitive negative thinking (McEvoy et al., 2010) and (Goldberg, 1979) Mental Health Questionnaires.
Results: The findings of regression analysis show that 60% of mental health changes in Iranian police officers are predicted by repetitive negative thinking components. Accordingly, the regression model is significant (P<0.001).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the components of repetitive negative thinking are able to threaten the mental health of police officers. Therefore, it is suggested that the authorities pay special attention to the destructive role of such factors on the mental health of police officers and consider support programs to deal with it. |
