Resumen
Estudios sobre la Calidad de Vida (CV) en policías y los factores que son determinantes para su mejora, son relevantes para ampliar la actuación de la psicología policial. El siguiente trabajo explora los avances en el conocimiento de CV en policías; sobre las variables asociadas o pronósticas de la CV, los instrumentos de medición utilizados, y sobre propuestas realizadas para mejorar la CV. Se realiza una revisión no sistemática de estudios publicados en las bases de datos PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, e ISOC de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades. Se muestra que los estudios de CV en policías a nivel internacional son escasos, y en el ámbito español inexistentes. Entre las variables pronósticas o asociadas a la CV están los estresores organizacionales y operacionales del trabajo, la exposición a desastres, la percepción de lo traumático del desastre, los rasgos de personalidad, estilos de afrontamiento del estrés, la depresión, y padecer una enfermedad física. Es necesario considerar el constructo de CV subjetiva; la mayoría de los estudios se enfocan en CV relacionada con la salud. Las propuestas enfatizan el diagnosticar y aminorar los estresores organizacionales, además de considerar intervenciones individuales. Se sugieren algunos estudios relevantes a realizar.
