ASSESSMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AMONG TRAFFIC POLICE OFFICERS, ITS CONSEQUENCES AND PSYCHOHYGIENIC CORRECTION METHODS

Abstract

The study examines the key factors contributing to occupational stress among traffic police officers, its physiological and psychological consequences, and the psychohygienic measures aimed at reducing stress levels. The findings indicate that hazardous working conditions, shift-based work schedules, and frequent conflict situations are the main sources of stress. A comprehensive preventive and corrective approach have been shown to play a significant role in enhancing officers’ psychological resilience and overall service effectiveness.
