Law enforcement personnel work in environments in which exposure to stressors can lead to increased risk for mental health conditions such as depression. Symptoms of these conditions often include sleep disturbance. However, officers are also more likely to experience sleep disturbance because of occupational demands such as shift work, which further increases the risk for depression. There is a lack of research focused on the relationships between sleep quality, mental health, and the role that adaptive coping styles may have in mitigating adverse outcomes in these domains among law enforcement personnel. Therefore, we examined the extent to which insomnia was associated with depression among law enforcement personnel and the degree to which resilience moderates this association after accounting for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD, also prevalent in this population and also associated with insomnia) symptom severity as well as age, gender, and racial and ethnic identity. Participants were 246 law enforcement personnel (Mage = 44.20, SD = 11.75; 76% identified as male) from a large urban agency. Results indicated that insomnia significantly relates to depression beyond levels of PTSD symptomatology. In addition, we found that resilience significantly moderates, or attenuates, the association between insomnia and depressive symptom severity. Our findings highlight the potential value of mental health and wellness programs emphasizing the development of resilience among law enforcement personnel.

执法人员的工作环境中，暴露在压力源下可能会导致抑郁等心理健康问题的风险增加。这些疾病的症状通常包括睡眠障碍。然而，由于轮班工作等职业需求，警官也更有可能出现睡眠障碍，这进一步增加了患抑郁症的风险。目前缺乏针对执法人员睡眠质量、心理健康以及适应性应对方式在减轻这些领域不良结果方面可能发挥的作用之间的关系的研究。因此，我们在考虑了创伤后应激障碍（PTSD，在该人群中也普遍存在，也与失眠相关）症状严重程度后，研究了执法人员中失眠与抑郁的相关程度，以及复原力调节这种关联的程度。如年龄、性别、种族和民族身份。参与者是来自大型城市机构的 246 名执法人员（法师 = 44.20，SD = 11.75；76% 为男性）。结果表明，失眠与抑郁症显着相关，超出了 PTSD 症状水平。此外，我们发现复原力显着减轻或减弱失眠与抑郁症状严重程度之间的关联。我们的研究结果强调了心理健康和保健计划的潜在价值，强调执法人员的韧性发展。
