Abstract

Amaç: Kolluk personeli için fiziksel olarak iyi olma durumu mesleki performansını icra etmesinde kritik önem taşımaktadır. Bu sebeple kolluk kuvvetleri için fiziksel aktivitenin hayatlarının içinde yer alması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada Jandarma ve Sahil Güvenlik Akademisinde (JSGA) görevli kolluk personellerinin fiziksel aktivite ve bilinç düzeyinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
Yöntem: JSGA’da görev yapan personelin fiziksel aktivite ve bilinç düzeylerinin belirlenmesini amaçlayan bu çalışma tarama modelidir. Bu çalışma Jandarma ve Sahil Güvenlik Akademisinde çeşitli kademelerde görev yapan 120 ’si kadın, 470’i erkek olmak üzere toplam beş yüz doksan (590) personel üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin aritmetik ortalamaları, standart sapmaları ve yüzdeleri SPSS 23.0 programında analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde, personelin fiziksel aktivite bilinç düzeyinin orta düzeyde olduğu (X : 1,80± 0,70) görülmektedir.
Sonuç: Çalışma grubumuzda yer alan kolluk personellerinin fiziksel aktivite bilinç düzeyinin literatür çalışma örneklerine ve sonuçlarına benzer oranda sonuçlar çıkardığı söylenebilir.

Abstract

Purpose: Physical well-being is critical for law enforcement personnel in performing their professional performance. For this reason, physical activity is expected to be a part of law enforcement officers' lives. This study aims to examine the physical activity and awareness levels of law enforcement personnel working at the Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy (JSGA).
Method: This study is a screening model that aims to determine the physical activity and awareness levels of the personnel working at JSGA. This study was conducted on a total of five hundred and ninety (590) personnel, 120 of whom were women and 470 of whom were men, working at various levels at the Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy. Arithmetic means, standard deviations and percentages of the data obtained in the study were analyzed in the SPSS 23.0 program.
Results: When the findings are examined, it is seen that the physical activity awareness level of the staff is at a medium level (X: 1.80± 0.70).
Conclusion: It can be said that the physical activity awareness level of the law enforcement personnel in our study group yields results similar to the literature study examples and results.
