Abstract
Background: Police Personnel play a vital role in maintaining law and order across the nation. They are constantly under pressure to perform and comply as per their duties noted by the government. Owing to such a taxing job profile with long and rotational duty hours, they are thus subjected to a varied amount of job stress. Owing to this growing concern of job related stress in police personnel, it is important that it be given prime importance before more harmful effects of job related stress arise. Aim and Objectives: This study is thus aimed at providing an insight into the perception of job related stress in class 2 and class 3 police personnel in Navi Mumbai Region and suggest interventions to curb them. Materials and Methods: It is a cross sectional study in which Police personnel of Navi Mumbai Region were selected by systematic random sampling. Total duration of study was one year. Results: Majority of the respondents suffered from long term stress majorly due to factors like political interference and negative public/press image. Conclusion: Police officers are at risk of not only extreme stress and fatigue but also likely to develop ailments due to the nature of the job and various other factors. Regular health checkups along with stress management should be done and the importance of a well-balanced and healthy mindset should be emphasized upon.
