Current study investigates influence of social support (SSQ6), self-efficacy (SES), quality of professional life (ProQOL) on post-traumatic (TRAUMAQ) and acute stress (SASRQ) among 85 police officers. Results report self-efficacy and poor quality of professional life correlate and predict, respectively negatively and positively, both post-traumatic and acute stress.
