Aims: The phenomenon of stress and psychological strain is an inevitable part of professional life in the workplace. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a group training package based on cognitive empowerment on police personnel's burnout.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a one-month follow-up. The statistical population included all police officers in Urmia in 2024, of whom 30 people were selected as the research sample based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group underwent a cognitive empowerment-based training package for 8 sessions (2 sessions per week for 60 minutes), and the control group did not receive any intervention. Statistical data analysis was performed using the repeated measures analysis of variance method and SPSS 23 software.
Findings: The mean and standard deviation of the age of the group were 32.80±5.92 years and the mean and standard deviation of the age of the control group were 32.19±6.07 years. The group training package based on cognitive empowerment was able to explain 37.6% of the changes in emotional exhaustion, 33.7% of the changes in lack of personal success, and 29.2% of the changes in depersonalization. The results of data analysis showed that after the intervention, the effect of the training package based on cognitive empowerment on the burnout of police employees was significant (p<0.001) and these positive effects remained stable during the follow-up period (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The results showed that the group training package based on cognitive empowerment was effective in reducing burnout and its components.
