Resilience training significantly improved coherence (a measure of heart rate variability) in law enforcement recruits. While self-reported stress and resilience did not differ, enhanced emotional buoyancy correlated with practice, suggesting training benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Law Enforcement Training
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Law enforcement officers face significant stress from multiple sources.
  • Resilience training offers techniques to manage emotional and physical stress responses.
  • A research gap exists regarding the long-term effects of resilience training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of resilience training for law enforcement recruits.
  • To assess changes in stress, resilience, and heart rate variability (coherence) post-training.

Main Methods:

  • An experimental design compared a resilience training group (n=17) with a control group (n=17) of police academy recruits.
  • Data collected included self-reported stress and resilience measures, and coherence (heart rate variability).

Main Results:

  • No significant differences were found in self-reported stress or resilience between groups.
  • The training group showed a statistically significant increase in coherence (p < .001).
  • Improved emotional buoyancy correlated with practice session frequency and coherence changes.

Conclusions:

  • Resilience training demonstrates significant effects on recruits, particularly in improving coherence.
  • The findings support the utility of resilience training for enhancing physiological self-regulation in law enforcement.
