Abstract

This study investigates the predictors of mental health among Philippine police officers, concentrating on the roles of quality of life and resilience. Alarming instances involving police officers drive the research, emphasizing the importance of professional stress on their mental health and conduct. The study used a descriptive-correlational methodology and polled 300 police officers from the Drug Enforcement Unit in Camarines Sur, Bicol, Philippines, to assess their quality of life, resilience, and mental health. The findings show that quality of life and resilience are strong indicators of mental health in police personnel. Quality of life includes physical, psychological, social, and environmental aspects, whereas resilience refers to the ability to deal with stress and adapt to difficult situations. The study suggests that strengthening these elements can lead to better mental health outcomes, improving general well-being and lowering occurrences of misconduct. This study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive mental health programs within the Philippine National Police that focus on building resilience and increasing officers’ quality of life. By addressing these issues, law enforcement agencies may create a healthier work environment and improve the mental health and well-being of their officers.
