Worldwide, police work is considered extremely stressful due to its nature of work.
Continuous exposure to stress, such as excessive and unscheduled working hours,
leads to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. The aim of the present
research is to determine the effectiveness of stress management training to regulate
stress levels and coping strategies among police personnel. Methods: The present
study is a randomised controlled trial conducted at Rashtriya Raksha University’s
(RRU) Shivamogga campus, Karnataka. A total of 30 police personnel were randomly
assigned, 15 in each group, using the simple random sampling method. Results: The
present study found improvements in depression, anxiety, and stress after stress
management training. Conclusion: The stress management training has shown
improvements in stress and coping styles, which helps the police personnel handle
work stress in a much more efficient manner
