ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to explore the stress cognizance of

Tagbilaran PNP Personnel in Tagbilaran City, C.Y 2021. We directly requested to
the Administration office of Tagbilaran City Police Station (TCPS) that we need
participants to answer the following questions: what is the stressful experience of
the informants’ cognizance of work distress during the COVID-10 Pandemic, how
did the informants resolve and address the work distress during the COVID-19
Pandemic.
We utilized the qualitative method of research employing the descriptive

phenomenological approach using interview guide question with an open-minded
question for individual interview in exploring the work distress of the police
officers in Tagbilaran City and their experiences as front liner in COVID-19
Pandemic. There were ten selected police officers in the Tagbilaran City Police
Station, all of them were interviewed individually. We selected our location only in
Tagbilaran City, Bohol. We used an interview guide aided with the audio recorder
for the basis of transcribing the response of the participants utilizing the
Colaizzi’s method or phenomenological analysis procedure in analyzing the
responses of the informants during the conduct of the interview.
For the stressful experience of the informants’ cognizance of work distress

during the COVID-10 Pandemic emergent themes were created: Upside Down,
Fear is universal, Circumvention, A complication to the delinquent person, Desire to
power and success. Furthermore, on how did the informants resolve and address
the work distress during the COVID-19 Pandemic the created themes were
Benefits of hard work, Discontented, Approved Responsibility.
It was proposed to perform exploratory research of the experiences of
cognizance of work distress on police officers during the COVID-19 Pandemic,
particularly those assigned to conduct health and public safety. Tagbilaran police
officers will be focused on performance assessment and evaluation of difficulties
faced during their work distress, as well as improving their mental awareness in
regulating health and public safety.

CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
Police officers entail responding to the community's needs, preventing and
suppressing crimes, and prosecuting those found guilty of crimes. Everyone is
affected by stress, but few people are aware of what triggers it, how it
progresses, how it affects their bodies, and how they can better manage their
stress. When you're under duress, it is a villain who is unrelenting and out of
control, and it is a villain who creates havoc. Unhappiness, disease, and even
death are all possibilities (Potter, 2009).
Sources of stress in policing can be divided into two categories: those
caused by "job content," which include work schedules, shift work, long work
hours, overtime, and court work, as well as traumatic events and threats to
physical and psychological health; and those caused by "job context," also
known as organizational stressors, which refer to organizational characteristics
and people's behavior that cause stress (e.g., bureaucracy and co-worker
relations). In the early months of the Pandemic, street patrol officers reacted to
new demands with a "medium stress level," though individual pressure levels
varied significantly. A lack of work experience in the police department, for
example, or a feeling of being unprepared, all contributed to a high level of
stress. While substantial progress has been made in analyzing and treating law
enforcement tension over the years, this progress has been matched by high
2
stresses imposed on police officers. Although police officers, like most staff such
as firefighters and nurses, will feel multiple stress levels, they are most likely to
experience a particular form of anxiety known as critical incident stress (Shane,
2010).
Police officers seem to be a very demanding and stressful profession as a
result of contemporary society's features. Burnout and Stress Measurement in
Police Officers has demonstrated that policing is a stressful occupation. This
stress harms police officers' mental and physical health, performance, and
interactions with citizens. Because of the high rates of depression, anxiety,
burnout, and even suicide among police officers, mental health in the workplace
have become an issue. It is also important to monitor stress and burnout levels
daily to improve workplace health (Queirós, Passos 2020).
Numerous studies have attempted to map police officers' stress and its
causes, a subject emphasized in the 1980s by a National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health technical study (Hurrell, 1984), and in the 1990s
by (Norvell 1993), whose study focused on the influence of gender differences on
law enforcement officers (Read, Brown 2004) also studied the sources of policing
stress. This has sparked increased concern in police officers' mental health, with
surveys emphasizing the psychological effects of working in high-risk
environments such as those characterized by brutality and injury (Cohen, 2004).
It's important to note that everyone responds to stressful circumstances
differently. The way a person reacts is influenced by their history and personality
and the community in which they live. Due to the obligation of preserving public
3
safety, the risk of exposure through encounters with the community, and the co-
occurrence of COVID-19, this mixed-methods study aimed to identify the internal
and external causes of police stress, as well as the work distress during the
COVID-19 pandemic approaches used by police departments to handle police
stress, based on the authors' personal experiences as police officers. When
states and city municipalities impose shelter-in-place orders and close down non-
essential businesses, law enforcement officers will be forced to enforce these.
There is concern that administrative actions could result in incarceration and
fines, posing additional public safety and civil liberties concerns. Local leaders'
knowledge of the critical role law enforcement plays in their community will
determine the effectiveness of the local government's attempts to slow the
spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The services must be both sensitive and responsive to the needs of the
impacted police officers. From an individual's viewpoint, stress-related difficulties
can be avoided in two ways: by removing the source of the stress and by
understanding how to cope with difficult situations before they become problems.
Understanding the sources of stress associated with those aspects, according to
the theory, is vital information for directing successful strategies for mitigating the
influence of those stressors. The researchers want to learn about stressors and
stress management. Thus, the purpose of this study is to know how police
officers are subjected to work-related distress and how they cope with it. The
researchers aim to determine which facets of everyday life are the most difficult
for police officers.

Theoretical Background
This study is anchored on the publication of the Strain Theory, Theory of
Preventive stress management, A State Control Theory of adaptation and
Individual Differences of stress management, Psychological Theories of Stress,
and Theory of work-related stress. You put your entire well-being at risk if you
live with high levels of stress. Stress harms both your mental and physical well-
being. It makes it challenging to think, work efficiently, and enjoy life. It can seem
that there is nothing you can do to alleviate stress. According to the bills will
never stop coming, there will never be enough hours in the day, and the Job will
never be finished. Successful stress management allows you to release yourself
from stress's grip on your life, allowing you to be happier, healthier, and more
productive. The ultimate goal is to live a healthy lifestyle that includes time for
work, relationships, and recreation. Furthermore, to the stamina to continue when
things get tough. However, stress management is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
That is why it is essential to experiment and learn.
Strain theory, in sociology, proposes that societal pressures, such as a
lack of money or a lack of access to a decent education, motivate people to
commit crimes. The ideas underlying strain theory were first advanced in the
1930s by American sociologist Robert K. Merton, whose work on the subject
became incredibly influential in the 1950s. Other researchers set forth similar
ideas, including American criminologist Albert Cohen and American sociologists
Richard Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin. The basic premise of general strain theory is
5
that people who are depressed or anxious become distressed or disturbed, which
can cause them to commit crime as a coping mechanism. Emotion as a motivator
for violence is one of the theory's primary purposes. The idea was made to
conceptualize the entire spectrum of possible causes of strain in society, which
Merton's theory does not (Özbay, 2002).
Theory of Preventive stress management, this theory provides a guide for
practicing positive stress prevention. The book starts with a comprehensive
overview of the stress field, from its medical and physiological roots in the early
1900s to its psychological elaborations in the second half of the century, to its
current application and practice in businesses. (Quick, Nelson 1998)
A State Control Theory of adaptation and Individual Differences of
stress management, after a preliminary examination of stress symptoms, a
more comprehensive, more broadly applicable mechanism for adaptive behavior
control is proposed. Individual variations may be derived from a variety of
sources, according to this theory. This may emerge from the control system and
inherent variability in cognitive and energetic resources (Hockey, 1986).
Psychological Theories of Stress, since stress is one of the most
fascinating and enigmatic topics we've studied since the dawn of time, it's not
only about what happens to the body during a stressful situation but also about
what happens to an individual's psyche. The different psychological theories of
stress suggested by James & Lange, Cannon & Brad, and Schachter & Singer
will be discussed in this article (Sincero, 2012).

Theories of work-related stress, according to the most widely accepted
transactional theory, theories of work-related stress are the direct result of a
transaction between a person and their environment, which can tax their
resources and thus jeopardize their well-being (Lazarus, Folkman 1987).
Legal Bases
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 16 states, "Promote
peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide universal
access to justice, and strengthen effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions
at all levels." The Covid19 implications further threaten global peace and
security. (Attree, Möller-Loswick 2015)
United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights' 1997 Human Rights
and Law Enforcement Training Manual, police officers should be trained in the
principles of stress and anger management. Police job is, by definition, stressful.
As a result, all PNP employees must receive periodic neuropsychiatric testing
and counseling, which are critical in preserving police officers' emotional and
mental health. Counseling and stress debriefing is vital, especially for employees
involved in an armed confrontation or violent event (Wheeler, 1999).

Review on Related Literature
According to the Role of Police Perceptions and Practices in the
Development of Public Disorder, crowd conflict can be viewed as an interaction
between the crowds and out-groups like the police. This paper describes a
questionnaire survey in which 80 police officers from two U.K. forces were
questioned about crowd attitudes, acceptable "public order" policing strategies,
and attributions of blame for crowd conflict. Police officers saw crowds as mixed,
as expected. Still, they also created a dichotomy between a powerful minority
capable of exerting dominance in the service of disorder and a majority incapable
of resisting this influence. Police officers did not unanimously support the idea
that crowds pose a homogeneous hazard. They advocated for crowd control and
swift intervention to prevent crowd violence from escalating but denied that such
tactics could lead to conflict. The use of path analysis suggests that these crowd
perceptions are linked as part of a unified ideology. Overall, these findings
support the established social identity model of crowd behavior as a complex
intergroup process (Drury, Stott 2003).
Personal negligence, hazardous circumstances, police brutality, discipline,
the management of disturbances, the justice system, public and media scrutiny,
special job assignments, and changes in work conditions are all sources of police
occupational stress. Stress management entails determining how much pressure
is tolerable, understanding stress physiology, and balancing the competing
demands of life (Anderson, 1995).

Academics, police officials, and police officers will benefit from the book.
The first section's readings present the principles and vocabulary of stress while
also summarizing some of its most important psychological, physiological, and
social implications. Papers on police officer stress look at how officers cope with
stress and what incidents they consider the most stressful (Sewell, 1999).
In relation to While, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing
(EMDR) is successful in treating posttraumatic stress disorder. It is not effective
as a stress management technique for ordinary people in high-stress
employment. According to Sixty-two police officers were randomly assigned to
either EMDR or a regular stress management program (SMP), all of which lasted
six hours (Wilson, 2001).
The psychologically dynamic field of contemporary policing is addressed
in Practical Police Psychology. The street cop to the departmental brass explores
both the significant and daily problems that all law enforcement professionals
encounter. Practical Police Psychology is a theoretical book that goes beyond
empirical research to include functional, down-to-earth (Miller, 2006).
After adjusting for the effects of work satisfaction, this study takes an
interdisciplinary research approach to comprehensively explore the impact of
internal police stress (i.e., position uncertainty, role conflict, supervisor support,
group cohesiveness, and advancement opportunities) on organizational
engagement (Jaramillo, 2005).

According to the Mediators of Change in Emotion-Focused and Problem-
Focused Worksite Stress Management Interventions. At First, research to date
has sought to enhance the individual's ability to cope with work-related strain,
and very little has systematically targeted the workplace stressors that give rise
to the pressure. Second, it appears that no study has directly examined the
psychological mechanisms by which an SMI works (Bond, 2000).
According to Job, control mediates change in a work reorganization
intervention for stress reduction. This quasi-experiment looked at whether a work
reorganization intervention would boost stress-related results by giving people
more power over their jobs. The authors achieved this by implementing a
participatory action research (PAR) intervention to reorganize work to improve
people's discretion and choice in their employment. The PAR intervention was
found to be successful (Bond, 2001).
The Development of a Framework for a Comprehensive Approach to
Stress Management Interventions at Work Organizations use several programs
to avoid and handle stress at different levels, as seen in this summary. The
goals, structure, and target audiences of programs differ widely. There is some
concern about the practicality of using off-the-shelf programs created without
considering particular organizational requirements (Giga, 2003).
In the study or site Stress Management Interventions: Their Effectiveness
and Conceptualization. A structure is given for identifying the various forms of
stress management strategies and their potential outcomes. The results of

10
numerous observational studies into worksite stress management interventions
are then analyzed in light of this paradigm. There are concerns about the
effectiveness of these approaches in terms of personal and organizational
outcomes, as well as where future research should be focused (DeFrank, Cooper
1987).
Preventing stress at work, for policymakers in government departments,
employers' and workers' organizations, health practitioners, trainers, consultants,
administrators, and workers' representatives associated with this dynamic and
challenging issue, the Conditions of Work Digest on preventing stress at work is
critical reading. (Kompier, Cooper 1999).
Occupational stress, clinical treatment and changes in job perceptions,
changes in job expectations, and symptoms throughout psychotherapy were
assessed as part of a broader study looking at the mechanisms and effects of
psychological therapies for white-collar employees suffering from work stress to
examine the association between changes in clinical state and changes in job
perceptions over time (Firth‐Cozens, Hardy 1992).
The design of a stress‐management program for nursing personnel, the
stressors and coping mechanisms of nursing staff (students, qualified staff, and
those who left the profession before qualification) in various ward specialties are
investigated in this report. An open interview about pre-nursing experience,
perceived stressors and satisfaction, and ways of coping, as well as
psychometric measures of self-esteem, assertion, and methods of coping, were
used in the study (Lees, Ellis 1990).

11
In the study effectiveness of a Comprehensive Worksite Stress
Management Program: Combining Organizational and Individual Interventions. A
comprehensive worksite stress management program in four comparable
facilities, including self-management instruction and a stressor mitigation
mechanism, was tested in a pre-post, treatment-control design. Individuals who
participated in self-management training improved on emotional well-being
indicators over three months, according to the findings (Munz, Kohler 2001).
Somewhat Stress management in work settings: a critical review of the
health effects. Stress-management interventions are strategies intended to assist
workers in changing their perceptions of stressful conditions or dealing more
effectively with stress symptoms. This analysis covered worksite-based stress
management research that measured a health result published in peer-reviewed
journals (Murphy, 1996).
Preventive Stress Management in an organization. This article provides a
guide for practicing positive stress prevention. The book starts with a broad
overview of the stress area, from its medical and physiological roots in the early
1900s to its psychological elaborations in the second half of the century, to its
current application and practice in businesses (Quick, Nelson 1997).
Their contributions serve as the framework for justifying and legitimizing
the approaches used to solve a wide variety of complex human problems.
Applications of general knowledge to unique, concrete human situations,
however, are always problematic. In treating Bridging, the gap between

12
laboratory and clinic for stress-related illnesses offers several problems for which
the research literature provides little guidance. The physician who seeks to
acquire therapeutic solutions via reading the scientific literature on stress
management approaches will invariably be disappointed. The descriptions of
treatment techniques are brief and succinct; only individuals who are already
thoroughly familiar with the therapies investigated can fully comprehend the
procedures involved. Typically, treatments are not tailored to specific
circumstances but are identical for all patients. (Woolfolk, M Lehrer 2008).
Review Related Studies
Stress is a part of life changes that occur in one's life that causes stress.
For example, going to school or college, getting married, changing jobs, or
dealing with health issues are all examples of stressful circumstances. Reviewing
similar research helps to understand the issue and its critical factors better while
also avoiding repetition. It will be an essential component of any research project.
It is also a necessary condition for actualization. Any research project must first
be planned and then executed. A researcher must be aware of what is already
understood about the issue and how others have researched it. A review of well-
known authorities' writings and previous studies shows that the researcher is
well-versed in the subject (Kapur, 2003)
According to the study of Job-related stress is a natural reaction that
arises when the workload increases. Occupational well-being has an effect on
the representative's soundness and the association's strength. Workplace stress

13
is a real and growing problem in today's environment. This is a major problem
that must be addressed. and that steps are taken to address the ramifications for
both individuals and associations. This is where people work. This paper
discusses the concept of work-related stress, the many types of work-related
stress, and the effects of work-related stress on an organization's efficacy and
performance. Nonetheless, while not all job-related stress is detrimental, it may
serve as a morale booster. Additionally, it is a morale booster for the staff. These
should be considered by senior management in order to boost work performance
while minimizing work-related stress. (Harshana, 2018)
It mentions that stress has resulted as a reaction of an employee when
specific at the same time demands, pressures, and professional aspects have to
be faced at the workplace which does not match their knowledge levels, thereby
posing damage to the employee's talents, resulting in a battle for survival in
terms of employment in a certain location (Steve, 2011).
It mentioned that distance to the workplace also the Occupational health
training. Due to today's crowded roadways, employees' stress levels may
increase. Nowadays, most employees work far away from their homes, and
those employees tend to get occupational stress quickly (Lundberg, 2010).
A multiple cases study approach to work stress prevention in Europe.
Workplace stress has become a big problem for European workers. Work stress
prevention programs are primarily reactive and biased to the client, which
appears to be a disappointment in today's practice (Kompier, Cooper 2000).

14
It says that "changing occupations are far more common nowadays. This
maybe be one of the most stressful moments in an individual's life. Additionally,
they emphasize the dearth of money, resources, and support services, and the
majority of workers perceive declining resources as the principal impediment to
performing their Job effectively and to an acceptable quality, resulting in stress.
(Kinman, 2005).
According to the study in Occupational Stress stated that company
cultures are affected by the stress levels of the personnel. They experience
higher stress when they have a competitive culture. Cooperative culture. Also,
Lau mentions that with poor workplace morale, there will be more whining,
complaining and people will do their Job without commitment. On the positive
end, the workplace is energized by a sense of purpose and teams that genuinely
want to work together. (Mohajan, 2012)
Stress at work is a frequent reaction that develops when workloads reach
harmful levels. Occupational health and safety affect the members' health and
the organization's strength. Workplace stress is a natural and rising problem in
today's world. It is critical that this issue is addressed and that steps are taken to
resolve the problems this can cause, both for people and the environment. This
paper examines the concept of work-related stress and work-related stress
models and how they affect an organization's effectiveness and efficiency.
However, since not all job-related stress is negative, it can also serve as a
morale booster. Top-level management should take these factors into account to
improve job efficiency (Nelson, Burke 2000)

Significance of Study
17
The findings and outcomes of this study would be significantly beneficial to
the following:
Philippine National Police. This research study would help them further
strengthen their advocacy of protecting society against criminality. In addition,
this study would transform them to become more effective in preventive
enforcement, incredibly tactical operations.
Station Officer. The outcome of this study would best give the station
chiefs the importance of what? To widen their knowledge in handling people in
improving police intelligence courses to equip police officers to become heads in
a particular unit.
Students. This will inspire them to exert more effort in their studies to be
successful and be ready as they face the real world not as a student but as
individuals who want betterment.
The researcher. The study will help the researchers to use or apply their
knowledge about the work of distress that they acquired in studying in a Bachelor
of Science in Criminal Justice Education.
Future Researchers. This study will help and serve as guidelines for
future use research studies regarding stress management among police officers.
This study also enables them to gain more information and broaden their
knowledge in terms of stress management.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
18
Research Design
To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers would utilize a
qualitative method of research in phenomenological approaches to portraying the
stressful experiences of police officers in work-related distress and how they
cope with it. This method will try to let the interview flow like a natural
conversation.
Research Environment
The researchers would conduct the research in Tagbilaran City Police
Station located in Calceta St, Cogon District, Tagbilaran City, near Tagbilaran
City Hall. The Tagbilaran City Police Station was under their station PLTCOL
Mary Crystal B. Peralta, Chief of Police of TCPS.

19
Research Informants
The informants of this study would be the (10) ten PNP Personnel in
Tagbilaran City, (5) five for men, and (5) five for women, who have been
engaged in the field during the Pandemic. These informants are mostly started in
patrolmen and high-ranking officials serving more than (3) three years in the
police organization.
Research Instruments
This study would utilize an interview guide prepared by the researchers
and validated by the U.B. Research and Ethics Committee. The interview guide
will consist of open-ended questions that deal with the stressful experiences of
the informant's cognizance of work distress during the Covid-19 Pandemic and
how did the informants resolve and address the work distress during the Covid-
19 Pandemic. The interview will be conducted and supplemented with field notes
and a voice recorder to document the police officer's responses accurately.
Data Gathering Procedures
The researchers made a transmittal letter to be signed by the dean of the
College of Criminal Justice at the University of Bohol, Shirley O. Molina, Ph.D.
C.J., and Vice President for Academics in the University of Bohol, Atty.
Marlumina B. Teh and to the (TCPS) Tagbilaran City Police Station, Chief of
Police to permit and allow us to distribute the questionnaires to the drivers in their
jurisdiction to discover how Police officers manage their stress during Pandemic.
20
Ethical Considerations
To ensure that the ethical consideration has been adequately addressed,
the papers are submitted for ethics review or interview guide validation to the
panel of this study. This is to make sure the information gathered and the
respondents involved are treated with the utmost confidentiality. We also
observed considerable courtesy and rapport in dealing with the involved offices
and the informants by providing all the necessary documents for their references.
Considering that during the conduct of the study, informants also had activity,
their limited time extended with the survey was respectfully considered. All
information gathered must only be used within this study. Before the interview is
conducted, it will also be discussed that they have the right to withdraw or decline
if they decide to.
The credibility of the study is the top priority of this research. We
interviewed with the utmost respect to the informants. Information from the
interview and observation session was kept confidential at all times and be used
only for the attainment of the primary purpose of this study. Conformability of this
study is by seeking approval from the Tagbilaran City Police (TCPS) in
Tagbilaran City informing them to conduct the study. It includes the full consent
of each respondent as they were provided an Informed Consent Form
individually.
They signed the form indicating their full consent and willingness to
participate in the said research project. To address the problem of dependability

21
more directly, the methods inside the study should be detailed, allowing a future
researcher to duplicate the work, though not necessarily get the same
conclusions. As a result, the research design may be thought of Such in-depth

CHAPTER 2
PRESENTATION AND DATA ANALYSIS
This chapter presents the findings from the interview using the Husserlian
descriptive – phenomenological method with the (7) steps of Colaizzi’s data
analysis to deliver insightful appreciation of the study.
Presentation of Data
This research study conferred a direct observation method through
descriptive phenomenological transcripts of each informant was read and re-read
to obtain the general sense about the whole coverage of its content. The
significant statements from the transcripts bearing the live experience of the
participants were extracted then recorded, noting the line numbers and informant
code.
To explicitly connect the coverage of the study, each informant was
allowed to speak their mother language to verbally express their experiences.
These were translated for general readability and understanding. Likewise, all the
statements from the informants were selected from the transcribed interview. Out
from each significant statement extracted, the formulated meaning was created
and coded as it reflected a comprehensive description of the informant's
experience (see Appendix F-1 for sample formulation of the core meaning).
The formulated core meaning, which appeared to be a common grouped
and reflecting unique structures, were organized into cluster themes (see
24
Appendix F-2 for development of cluster themes). Lastly, cluster themes were
then re-grouped to develop the emergent theme (see Appendix G for diagram of
common themes).
After the thorough and profound description of the formulated meanings
using Colaizzi’s data analysis method (1978), sixteen (16) cluster themes were
identified and re-grouped to form eight (8) emergent themes. They are the
following:
The Following are the emergent theme:
I. What are the stressful experiences of the informants’
cognizance of work distress during the COVID-19 Pandemic?
1. Upside Down
2. Fear is universal
3. Circumvention
4. A complication to the delinquent person
5. Desire of power and success
II. How did the informants resolve and address the work distress
during the COVID-19 Pandemic?
1. Benefits of hard work
2. Discontented
3. Approved Responsibility
25
Mentioned below are the presentations and explanations of emergent
themes in every sub-problem that will respond to the informants' experiences as
PNP Personnel.
I. What are the stressful experiences of the informants’ cognizance
of work distress during the COVID-19 Pandemic?
During the interview, different experiences from the informants were
stated. These categorical themes were strengthened through the responses of
the informants. In particular, we have created (5) emergent themes that centered
on the PNP personnel's cognizance of work distress during the Covid-19
Pandemic. The Following themes are:
1. Upside down: This first theme answered the different Bad
experiences encountered by the informants. The first informant
stated that:
During that Time nag lockdown ang atong Police Station kay dita
gusto nga aduna pay lain ma damay aside sa atong personnel nga
matakdan ni ining Covid 19 (IDI1:SS1) Colleagues tested positive for
covid-19 that caused the lockdown of the police station, and it
hampered the service to the community and to the people.
We also asked informant 2 to share his experiences as PNP Personnel
during the Covid-19 Pandemic, and he was frank in answering, very happy and
both sad to share his stressful experience:
usa jud kos na igo sa covid admitted jud ko sa Hospital Sa gallares

mga 1-week jud ko na admit it’s too difficult na e ginhawa mag sige
kag chill para nako mao jud tuy sad and bad experience nako it
happened during jud sa pandemic (IDI2:SS2) I tested positive with
26
covid-19 and have been admitted to hospital for a week with the
difficulty of breathing.
The second emergent theme focused on the Stressful experience
encountered by the PNP Personnel.
2. Fear is universal: This theme presents the Stressful different
experiences they encountered in doing their jobs. Most of their
answers were pulled out from their sympathy towards everything,
which creates stress for them. When we asked what are your
stressful experience encountered during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Informant 1 said that:
Stressful in the sense that in spite of our campaign na ma

contain nato ang pandemya inspite sa atong mga intervention nga
atong gi himo nag recoreda ta nag radio guesting ta (IDI1:SS12).
We did radio guesting to disseminate campaigns and health
protocols to fight against the covid-19 Pandemic to the community.
However, still, some people are not minding the protocols and end
up being arrested.
Supported by Informant 2 when he stated that:
So kabahin sa stressful experience murag ang na feel namo

ang kanang how could we able to enforce sa mga proper protocol
kay ang uban btaw na tawo mo against (IDI2:SS13) Stressful
experience was how could we able to enforce protocols if some
people are against to it.
The third emergent theme focused on the Response to stressful & Bad
experiences of the PNP Personnel.
3. Circumvention: This theme presents how the PNP Personnel
responded to this bad experience, which causes them to have

27
stress during their work. When we asked how did your Response to
these stressful bad experiences, Informant 4 said that:
Kami pulis, no choice jud mi sa among trabaho front liners man ta,
so amo. a ani gi trait namo among kaugalingon nga naay kay self-
confident og wakay self-confident sa imong pangarbaho (IDI4:SS22)
Self-confidence is a good trait for us front liners to maintain a
dedication to still do our job even when tired and always seek help
from God
Supported by Informant 9 when she stated that:
Actually, I just hold on to my dream that I have to perform my

sworn statement duty, meaning since I've sworn that I have to perform
it heartily and then I just keep it in my mind these will end soon,
prayers also help a lot. (IDI9:SS25)
The Forth emergent theme focused on the challenges encountered by the
PNP Personnel.
4. A complication to the delinquent person: This theme presents what
particular challenges that a PNP Personnel faced as a front liner
during the Covid-19 Pandemic. When we asked can you possibly
present specific challenges that you have faced during the
Pandemic, Informant 3 said that:
Naa assign mn kog QCP checkpoint btaw ang kaning naa

tay masugatan na lain lain taw kada adlaw naa may rules didto sa
bool nga kadtong walay Q pass dili kagawas (IDI3:SS28) People
who despise not following rules like bringing of Quarantine passes,
and they are being arrogant when dealing with us.
Supported with informant 4 when he stated that:
Daghan sama sa akong giingon ganiha moduty ka sa

hospital 24hours mi usahay dugay mi kauli tapos mo challenge
everyday checkpoint aning panahona full alert gyud, walay off ang
28
mga (IDI4:SS29) Duty on hospitals for 24 hours and it hindered

time for us to go home for we really are needed to fully be alert, no
day off, but in line with the responsibility as a police officer, indeed,
we need to comply.
The Fifth emergent theme is how thus PNP Personnel Deal with these
challenges they encounter.
5. Desire of power and success: this theme answered how thus PNP
Personnel Deal with those challenges they have been encountered
during their work. When we asked How did you deal with the
challenges you faced, informant 1 said that:
gi basahan nato nga mao ni ang protocol nga base on local

laws and national law aduna tay gi sunod niini mao na nga atong gi
estoryahan sila nga adunay penalidad (IDI1:SS32) We said to the
people that we have health protocols which has a penalty if
violated.
Supported by informant 7 when she stated that:
protocols nga dapat kay gepa hibaw man jud na kasagaran

kay naa mana sa by level baya na gepa hibaw ang mga kataohan
ana so dapat aware ta ana (IDI7:SS37) We initiate to educate
persons that we arrested who violated such protocols
They are resolving and addressing some stressful and bad
experiences of PNP Personnel. They had a different way on how they
decide those problems, especially on those who experience the Covid-
19 Virus.
29
1. Benefits of hard work: in this category, the informants stated that
Government never left them in spite of everything that happened.
According to informant 1:
Ok so in the part of pnp organization they also given us kung

asa mi mas comfortable sa among trabaho adunay work at home
kung labi na ug naa kay comorbidity sila mao ang prone niing atog
covid 19 ato sila gi hatagan ug trabaho adto sa ilang balay aron
ma perform gihapon nila ang ilang part sa trabaho adunay mga
support nga malikay jud ang mga kapulisan nato nga dili
matakdan sa covid aside sa atong goberno naa usab (IDI1:SS41)
PNP organization given us comfort through working at home,
especially to personnel with comorbidities, to keep performing their
duties
Supported by Informant 9 when she stated that:
So, for my first encounter with this kind of disease, I received

some a free quarantine facility in MALASAKIT, so it is for
uniformed personnel aside from that during my recuperating
period or when in the recovering period I was staying there in the
city government of Tagbilaran city facility in Cabawan were in
they brought some vitamins for me and I don’t think that’s it
antibiotics for me to recover I think that's all, cause mostly when I
was infected I really use my own money sad to say, the facility
there pero during my being infected such disease since it very
high scale of personnel was being infected with so the facility or
the quarantine areas were limited that’s why we have to be put on
house so were accommodated by the mayor of Dauis at the time
on my second positive in COVID (IDI9:SS48)
2. Discontented: The initial Response of the PNP Personnel is that the
Organization initiates to maximize resources to help.
According to informant 4:
Maka ingon ko ng dili gyud enough kay tungod sa

kadaghan or kana bang hurot-hurot ang budget tungod sa daghan
na positive so dili enough ang equipment pero naay ihatag ang
LGU mga PPE mga alcohol kasagaran kami may mo provide og
alcohol, mask namo kanang mga gloves pero sa sako standard ani
satisfactory akong ma rate about the equipment (IDI4:SS51)(I think
equipment like PPE provided by the Government is not enough
30
because of many cases of covid-19 positive in the community, we

PNP organization initiates on our own to provide us the lacking
equipment and protective hygiene like alcohol, facemasks, and
gloves.)
Actually, No the protective gear alone such the PPE

that should be is not enough though were not tasked to do that but
however during our performance of checkpoints so we come into
contact we different people so were just using these face shield
and mask so there is tendency that during our handling of licenses
there is possibility that we might infected again so it is not enough
however we have to do it cause were mandated to do such a
precautionary measure for the citizenry (IDI9:SS56) (Resources
are not enough, like PPE. During checkpoints, we initiate to use
face shields to provide more protection, especially during
checkpoints where you are exposed to another person who might
be a carrier of the disease.)
3. Approved Responsibility: This theme presents as a motivation of
PNP Personnel who experience stress and bad experiences during
the Pandemic. In their experience, they include the part where
Government provides them with what they deserve.
According to Informant 1:
Yes, this is only to support in addition to our salary no dako

na kaayu ug ikatabang ang hazard pay kay sa gamayng butang
dako na kaayu nig gikatabang, (IDI1:SS58) Hazard pay provided
by the government is such a big help for us and to our family.
Yes, kay dako pd siyag tabang kay ang governo nag hatag
namo og hazard pay sa pnp personnel dako napd ang benifits nga
nahatag namo. (IDI8:SS65) Yes, he was a great help to the pnp
personnel and it benefited us.
Analysis of Data
31
The researcher’s utilized the Colaizzi’s method in phenomenological
tradition in extracting the following emergent themes from the re- grouping of
clusters through the formulated meaning. Thus, these themes categorically
explain and describe to know how police officers are subjected to work-related
distress and how they cope with it. This aim is to determine which facets of
everyday life are the most difficult for police officers.
This study is anchored on the publication of the Strain Theory, Theory of
Preventive stress management, A State Control Theory of adaptation and
Individual Differences of stress management, Psychological Theories of Stress,
and Theory of work-related stress.
The Strain theory, in sociology, proposes that societal pressures, such as
a lack of money or a lack of access to a decent education, motivate people to
commit crimes. The ideas underlying strain theory were first advanced in the
1930s by American sociologist Robert K. Merton, whose work on the subject
became incredibly influential in the 1950s. Other researchers set forth similar
ideas, including American criminologist Albert Cohen and American sociologists
Richard Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin. The basic premise of general strain theory is
that people who are depressed or anxious become distressed or disturbed, which
can cause them to commit crime as a coping mechanism. Emotion as a motivator
for violence is one of the theory's primary purposes.
On the other hand, the Theory of Preventive stress management provides
a guide for practicing positive stress prevention. The book starts with a
comprehensive overview of the stress field, from its medical and physiological
32
roots in the early 1900s to its psychological elaborations in the second half of the
century, to its current application and practice in businesses.
A State Control Theory of adaptation and Individual Differences of stress
management, after a preliminary examination of stress symptoms, a more
comprehensive, more broadly applicable mechanism for adaptive behavior
control is proposed. Individual variations may be derived from a variety of
sources, according to this theory. This may emerge from the control system and
inherent variability in cognitive and energetic resources.
Psychological Theories of Stress, since stress is one of the most
fascinating and enigmatic topics we've studied since the dawn of time, it's not
only about what happens to the body during a stressful situation but also about
what happens to an individual's psyche. The different psychological theories of
stress suggested by James & Lange, Cannon & Brad, and Schachter & Singer
will be discussed in this article.
According to the most widely accepted transactional theory, Theories of
work-related stress are the direct result of a transaction between a person and
their environment, which can tax their resources and thus jeopardize their well-
being.
I. What are the stressful experiences of the informants’ cognizance

33
During the interview, different experiences from the informants were
stated. These categorical themes were strengthened through the responses
of the informants. In particular, we have created (5) emergent themes that
centered on the PNP personnel's cognizance of work distress during the

1. Upside down: This first theme answered the different Bad experiences
encountered by the informants. Most of them were answered this question
on how they lively encountered the stress of work during the time when
the Covid-19 Pandemic was on its high peak. Also, they answered how
thus the Pandemic affects their daily lives. Based on their statements, we
could conclude that the is present Psychological Theories of Stress since
stress is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic topics we've studied
since the dawn of time, it's not only about what happens to the body
during a stressful situation but also about what happens to an individual's
psyche. The different psychological theories of stress suggested by James
& Lange, Cannon & Brad, and Schachter & Singer will be discussed in this
article (Sincero, 2012).

they encountered in doing their jobs. Most of their answers were pulled out
from their sympathy towards everything, which creates stress for them. In
relation to this, a study According to the most widely accepted

to this bad experience, which causes them to have stress during their
work. A State Control Theory of adaptation and Individual Differences of

CHAPTER 3
SUMMARY, FINDINGS, AND IMPLICATION
Summary
This study aims to know how police officers are subjected to work-related
distress and how they cope with it. This aim is to determine which facets of
everyday life are the most difficult for police officers. During in Gathering data
procedures, the following questions are being asked of our respondents (1) the
respondents' profile includes their name, sex, rank, and length of service. (2) We,
the researchers, asked about the stressful experiences of the informant's
cognizance of work distress during the COVID-19 Pandemic? Specifically, the
sad/lousy experience they went through during the Pandemic (3) is how did the
informants resolve and address the work distress during the COVID-19
Pandemic?.
We utilized the qualitative method of research utilizing interview guide
questions with an open-ended for the informant and the interviewer to know how
police officers are subjected to work-related distress and how they cope with it.
This aim is to determine which facets of everyday life are the most difficult for
police officers. This study was conducted in the Police Station here in Bohol,
specifically the Tagbilaran City Police Station.
Furthermore, the (10) informants were Police Officers assigned to
Tagbilaran City Police Station. The seven of them are married, and three are
38
single. They were all individually interviewed. We personally conducted the
interview, gathered data that produced persuasive eight (8) emergent themes
indicating the highlight of the study.
Findings
The captivating eight (8) emergent themes were created after thoroughly
gathered data formulated meanings and clustered themes into special
categories.
These themes were formulated as follows:
We generated five (5) themes for the stressful experiences of the
informants’ cognizance of work distress during the COVID-19 Pandemic, namely:
Upside down, Fear is universal, Circumvention, A complication to a delinquent
person, and Desire of power and success.
As to How did the informants resolve and addressed the work distress
during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we created three (3) themes, namely: Benefits
of hard work, Discontented, and Approved Responsibility.
Implications
After a thorough reflection and discussion made on the proceeding
chapters, we offer the following recommendations and measures for
implementations and topics for future research.
Implication for practice
These are possible recommendations for practical application: Upon the
result of our study, we recommend that the Police Officers and Other front liners
39
in Philippine National Police should strengthen awareness and safety on how
they can handle things like a Pandemic. The Philippine National Police should
coordinate and partner with the Department of Health to convince the individuals
to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
Also, the PNP and Provincial Government must conduct a rigorous
consultative meeting on Oplan Bandillo. The Covid-19 Pandemic erupted, a
campaign of public education and outreach aimed at raising awareness about
criminal elements in the community gradually became a tool for encouraging
individuals to follow the minimum health safety standard routine.
A need for training and seminars, Seek the assistance of professionals in
the field. COVID-19 pandemic preparedness, like other emergency planning
activities, should be a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency endeavor. As part of the
police department's education and planning activities, police planning
professionals should reach out to other subject matter experts who are engaged
in the jurisdiction's emergency preparedness. Public health and medical
professionals must be included in jurisdiction-wide planning initiatives so that
they may aid law enforcement like PNP and the general public in educating
themselves and developing their own plans.
Implication for Future Studies
The researcher recommends the conducts of in-depth inquiry on the
following topics:
40
An evaluation of the services and help extended by the Local
Government, DOH and PNP. This future research will hopefully reveal some
effective practices on how they can determine which facets of everyday life are
the most difficult for police officers and how they cope with it.
Inquiry into Using existing connections. To guarantee a successful
execution of the plan, law enforcement agencies must identify local public health
and medical professionals early in the planning phase. Identify relevant public
health laws and authorities. In the event of a COVID-19 pandemic in the
Philippines, officers must be informed of the applicable public health regulations.
When it comes to enforcing public health regulations, police and other law
enforcement agencies need to know what is expected of them. Local public
health authorities may help police departments locate appropriate laws and
regulations, as well as build their own pandemic response plans and training
programs, and coordinate with other agencies.

1 During the time of pandemic and the PNP is one of our II-1(2.1)
Frontliner, at the middle of the implementation of the
minimum public standard some of colleagues nag
positive sila sa covid 19
2 Bisan sa kadaghan pag amping aduna gihapoy nag II-1(2.1)
positive, ug ang atong panagserbisyo san a alaot tungod
kay ang atong mga personnel nag positive sa covid 19
3 During that Time nag lockdown ang atong Police Station II-1(2.1)
kay dita gusto nga aduna pay lain ma damay aside sa
atong personnel nga matakdan ni ining Covid 19
4 Isa sa atong mga sad experience nga atong na incounter II-1(2.1)
because na hamper jud ang atong serbisyo ngadto sa
katawhan ug importante kaayu presensya sa kapulisan
5 Ma prevent nato ang mga crimen or aron mahatag natog II-1(2.1)
instant solution ang mga crimen na mga nahitabo and
just like what ive said nag positive ang pipila nato ka
personnel
6 Mao nay usa sa mga dili maayu niining panahon karon sa II-1(2.1)
pandemya
7 Stressfull in the sense that inspite of our campaign na ma II-1(2.2)
contain nato ang pandemya inspite sa atong mga
intervention nga atong gi himo nag recoreda ta nag radio
guesting ta
8 Just to inform the public the minimum health standard II-1(2.2)
Protocol nga atong gi implementar aron ma contain nato
ang covid 19 nga aron dili na mo kuyanap pa ug dako
9 If possible aron ma reduce nato ang cases sa covid 19 so II-1(2.2)
53
usa na sa mga gi kasubo nato kay bisan pa sa atong

pagpahibawo sa katawhan naay daghan gihapon nga
nadakpan
10 Niining atong gi implement na Minimum Public health II-1(2.2)
standard protocol dili sa ingon nga malipay ta kay adunay
nadakpan apan naguol ta nganung adunay pay nadakpan
11 Ug nag libog ta ug unsaon pa nato ni sila sa pagpahibalo II-1(2.2)
para Makita nila nga ang virus dali jud mo katap ug
delikado jud sa atong lawas ug makamatay sa matag usa
ka nato
12 Ok as a part of our training and imong courtesy and II-1(2.3)
discipline upon confronting each other kinahanglan calm
down ka atong gi sulod sa atong law enforcer na taw lang
ta nagka mali
13 We would analyze ug timbang timbangon nato ug maayu II-1(2.3)
ug unsay dapat natong buhaton niya just to insure nga dili
na kini mausab pa
14 Adunay programa usab ang atong kapulisan labi na sa II-1(2.3)
atong regional office mga webinar ug mga psychosocial
support during our covid 19 pandemic and atong mga
kapulisan
15 Ni undergo ang atong mga kapulisan para nga dili gyud II-1(2.3)
intawn ma stress ug ma low moral ang atong mga
kapulisan ang mga sessions na lectures and webinar
ginahatag nila.
16 Aron makahibaw sila nga aduna na d i anang dapita sa II-1(2.3)
usa ka problema gi buhat kanang psychosocial support
para kanila
17 Ok so just what like I said no kanang naa tay ma caught II-1(2.4)

Standard Protocol
18 Their keep on insisting na usa sav sila sa mga frontliner II-1(2.4)
ug ipugos jud nila na sila ang mas nakahibaw ni iniining
atong gina implement na protocols
19 Dapat as a role model atong ipakita sa katawhan ang II-1(2.4)

Minimum Health standard protocol

1 For me during the pandemic started it happens that I am II-6(2.1)
pregnant on that time that’s why for me it is a bad
experience during that time nagka pandemic ta
2 I can’t easily go outside and I can’t perform my job very II-6(2.1)
well in that I felt so bad
3 The stressful thing that I encounter is that even if I am II-6(2.2)
pregnant I use to work daily just to catch up the
compliances that assigned to me on that time before I
deliver my baby.
4 The thing I do is go with the flow go to work and I just II-6(2.3)
enjoy the day.
5 No answer II-6(2.4)
6 No answer II-6(2.5)
7 At first the Government gave us a hazard pay that’s why III-6(3.1)
it alleviates the distress of us
8 For me the PNP itself and the coordination with the LGU III-6(3.2)
is enough because we have a lot of it.
9 For me it doesn’t meet the target it isn’t enough for us the III-6(3.3)
rest of the job we have dili jud siya enough it takes only
two months that the government gave us and the rest no
more.

1 I’ve experience these particularly a sad situation when I II-9(2.1)
was previously assigned in Jolo, Sulu in Mindanao where
I have to go back here because I have already the order
for reassignment
2 however due to the pandemic I was lockdown in Sulu for II-9(2.1)
a more than 8 months supposedly I have to visit my
children in Bohol way back in the month of April however
due to the pandemic I’ve
3 cancel my flight in the travel expenses cost me so must II-9(2.1)
because I have to stay for a while in Zamboanga city and
due to availability of the flight.
4 One of the very stressful experience that I’ve experiences II-9(2.2)
during this pandemic is that we have to performed our
duty beside that we have this kind of thinking that a
simple gesture
5 of hugging our children is a taboo meaning we cannot II-9(2.2)
hug our children though we want to a cuddle them and
then when it comes to work load there are a lot of
checkpoints wherein we
6 performed checkpoints more than 2 hours not just in one II-9(2.2)
setting but there are checkpoints conducted I think 2 or 3
times a day
7 Actually, I just hold on to my dream that I have to II-9(2.3)
performed my sworn statement duty meaning since I’ve
swore that I have to performed it heartily and then I just
keep it in my mind these will
71
8 end soon, prayers also it helps a lot. II-9(2.3)

9 My Specific challenges were I’ve got positive when first II-9(2.4)
came here in Bohol so I was reassigned and then I report
to our Regional Office in Cebu City I may have got
infected and I
10 already that consumed my 14 days quarantine in II-9(2.4)
MALASAKIT Center, however before I was release, I was
tested positive in the rapid test that was my first
encounter that our specific
11 challenge I’ve encountered second one is that I got II-9(2.4)
positive again when I was assigned in Dauis Police
Station way back the month of February this year so
aside from I got positive whole of my
12 family including my two children ages 6 and 9 years old II-9(2.4)
also got infected and it is burden some of my part
because the vitamins alone cost a lot and aside is
emotional stress coming from that
13 certain experience and then you’ll become paranoid II-9(2.4)
because my sons were infected I was hoping I could be
with them however I was quarantine at Dauis facility
wherein my sons
14 and family were quarantine and lockdown in our II-9(2.4)
apartment here in Tagbilaran City
15 I do with it positively though my pocket started to shrink II-9(2.5)
cause vitamins alone I have to take vitamins were in I’m
not really fan of using or consuming vitamins cause for
me when I consumed
16 vitamin c specifically I gain weight because I love to eat II-9(2.5)
when I’m on vitamins when I’m consuming vitamins
however due to this kind situation I have to make myself
health as possible then
17 I do these self-assessments that whatever challenges II-9(2.5)
that I’ve encountered I have to put first the thinking that
these will end soon and aside from that I have to priorities
the health of my
18 family especially my children II-9(2.5)
19 So, for my first encountered in this kind of disease I III-9(3.1)
receive some a free quarantine facility in MALASAKIT so
it is for uniformed personnel aside from that during my
recuperating
20 period or when in the recovering period I was staying III-9(3.1)
there in the city government of Tagbilaran city facility in
Cabawan were in they brought some vitamins for me and
I don’t think that’s it
21 antibiotics for me to recovered I think that’s all, cause III-9(3.1)
mostly when I was infected I really use my own money
72
sad to say, the facility there pero during my being infected

such disease since it
22 very high scale of personnel was being infected with so III-9(3.1)
the facility or the quarantine areas were limited that’s why
we have to be put on house so were accommodated by
the mayor of
23 Dauis at the time on my second positive in COVID III-9(3.1)
24 Actually, No the protective gear alone such the PPE that III-9(3.2)
should be is not enough though were not tasked to do
that but however during our performance of checkpoints
so we come into contact
25 we different people so were just using these face shield III-9(3.2)
and mask so there is tendency that during our handling of
licenses there is possibility that we might infected again
so it is not
26 enough however we have to do it cause were mandated III-9(3.2)
to do such a precautionary measure for the citizenry
27 Base on my personal experience no, its not enough for III-9(3.3)
the vitamins c alone I have to take vitamins c with zinc for
my early recuperation so not ordinary vitamins c that I
have to intake it
28 cost ranging from the 200 to 300, 15 pieces so the hazard III-9(3.3)
pay however we did not receive the hazard pay here in
bohol because there was only a certain time that were on
the Modified
29 Enhanced Community Quarantine there a certain status III-9(3.3)
that a unit or a province were receiving a hazard pay so
in bohol since were not in the kind of status or ranking on
the infection level so
30 the hazard pay is not enough because we only receive III-9(3.3)
that usual hazard pay coming from our pay slip alone so
lahi tong sa amo ang hazard pay sa covid hazard pay

such the PPE that should be is not
enough though were not tasked to do
that but however during our performance
of checkpoints so we come into contact

During checkpoints, we initiate to use
