ABSTRACT
Objective: Pilot project focusing on the implementation and evaluation of a health education (HE) program for inmates of the prison of Ocaña I (Spain). The objective was to analyze the intentions for change in health habits and perceptions, and to assess whether the HE-program had differential effects depending on whether the participants belonged to the PAIEM or not and their socio-demographic characteristics.
Methodology: The participants were 65 men, who answered an ad hoc questionnaire at the end of each session. Data analysis applied was univariate and bivariate (one-way ANOVA, t-test for Equality of Means and Chi-Square test).
Results: The average rating of the sessions was 3.51 out of 4 (SD = 0.62). The percentage of positive answers about the intention to adopt healthy habits was higher among non-PAIEM subjects (84.8%) than among those who were part of this program (57.9%). All subjects having a couple indicated an intention to change negative habits, compared to 67.3% for those without a couple. The percentage of subjects who said that their perception on the issue had changed was highest among those without education (89.7%) than among those with education (61.5%).
Conclusions: The evaluation of implanted HE-program implemented in the Ocaña I prison was very positive, there are differences between subjects belonging to the PAIEM and those who do not.

RESUMEN
Objetivo: Proyecto piloto centrado en la implantación y evaluación de un programa de Educación para la Salud (EpS) en internos del Centro Penitenciario Ocaña I (España). El objetivo fue analizar las intenciones de cambio en los hábitos de salud y en la percepción, así como evaluar si el programa de EpS tenía efectos diferenciales dependiendo de si los participantes pertenecían o no al Programa de Atención Integral al Enfermo Mental (PAIEM) y de sus características sociodemográficas.
Metodología: Los participantes fueron 65 varones que respondieron a un cuestionario ad hoc al finalizar cada sesión. Los análisis fueron univariantes y bivariantes (ANOVA de un factor, prueba t y test de independencia Chi-Cuadrado).
Resultados: La valoración media de las sesiones fue de 3,51 sobre 4 (DE = 0,62). Las respuestas afirmativas sobre la intención de adoptar hábitos saludables fueron mayores entre los sujetos no pertenecientes al PAIEM (84,8%) que entre los que sí formaban parte del mismo (57,9%). Todos los sujetos con pareja indicaron tener intención de cambiar los hábitos negativos, frente al 67,3% entre aquellos sin pareja. El cambio en la percepción sobre el tema fue más alto entre los que no tenían estudios (89,7%) que entre aquellos que sí los tenían (61,5%).
Conclusiones: La evaluación del programa de EpS implantado en el Centro Penitenciario Ocaña I fue muy positiva, existiendo diferencias entre los sujetos pertenecientes al PAIEM y los que no.

Introduction
The main aim of Health Education relies in promoting lifestyles leading to an increased level of health and welfare and, to that effect, it can be a valuable therapeutic tool within the correctional environment1. Education is also a right within prisons2, as well as the right to health, both of which should not be threatened due to the deprivation of liberty3.
Inmates in prisons are exposed to a series of psychosocial, physical and environmental factors which set them on a vulnerable and very different position than that of the general population4, thus comparing health promotion strategies aimed at the general population are not comparable. This is a population with specific features on which several psychosocial factors have had an impact. Two of these main features are the widespread lack of education and a state of health significantly poorer than that of the general population5.
When discussing inmates' health problems, often reference is made to pathological conditions completely overlooking health-determinant environmental and social conditions6. A strong correlation between poverty, social exclusion and health inequalities has been confirmed7.
Among the most common health problems within correctional facilities we can underline drug abuse and infections associated to parenteral drug use, a lack of hygienic habits, exposal to continuing stress inherent to their criminal and correctional situation, mental health issues and inappropriate or lack of use of healthcare services5, as well as external circumstances which have a greater impact due to the deprivation of liberty8 in an environment where there is a lack of hope and a prevalence of anxiety, depression and community conflicts9. This special nature calls for a different approach10.
There is shortage of scientific literature on health promotion strategies within correctional facilities in Spain. Nevertheless, we found a study carried out in 200910 which positively assessed a health promotion strategy among diabetic patients and a high commitment rate regarding similar future interventions. Internationally, this type of strategies is arising11.
Nowadays we understand that socio-educational interventions must be based on a participatory model, and Public Health aims all its approaches at community participation, equity and the reduction of health inequalities13. This is why the approach of health promotion in prisons is a good example of actions aimed at the reduction of the aforementioned inequalities. This should be done based on personal abilities and aimed at overcoming social barriers14.
The demand for health care in prisons is between three and eight times higher than outside prison3 and one in every two inmates suffers from some kind o chronic condition15. Therefore, the Spanish correctional system counts upon healthcare department within facilities supported by several psychosocial programs24 among which it is worth noting the Comprehensive Care Program for Mental Patients (PAIEM in Spanish)16. Mental health disorders entail a serious Public Health issue within prisons17: anxiety and depression are the most prevalent disorders18. Other highly prevalent conditions, aside drug abuse, are communicable diseases such as the infection by HIV, hepatitis C19 and tuberculosis20. This is why health promotion strategies aimed at the prevention of this kind of diseases are crucial.
Imprisonment should entail several advantages for health, based on stability, schedule control, limitation of alcohol and drug use and access to healthcare providers21. Screening and early diagnosis of several diseases is carried out in these facilities, something which implies a good opportunity to treat people who otherwise would remain undiagnosed or untreated22. In fact, sometimes for inmates prisons are entry points to the National Health System.
On the other hand, the correctional system can also be the source of multiple adverse health effects, both physical and mental21. Yet we must consider imprisonment as an opportunity and a strategic environment to detect health problems and try to reduce risk behaviors among this vulnerable population23.
From the Spanish correctional system a real awareness for promoting services aimed at improving inmates' quality of life, including an improved healthcare and an approach aimed at their future release24 has been noted. A fact, which underlines the need for educational interventions aimed at promoting and keeping healthy behaviors and habits, as well as the appropriate use of preventive and health care services5.
Due to these facts, a selected team of teachers from the Faculty of Nursing of the University of Castilla-La Mancha designed together with the medical sub-directorate of the Correctional Facility of Ocaña I a Health Education project aimed at inmates, with eventual evaluation.
The main objectives of this study were the following: 1) to analyze change intentions regarding health habits and the perception of consequence of the implemented Health Education program; 2) to assess whether the program had a significant effect among individuals included in PAIEM and those not included; and 3) to analyze whether socio-demographic features (age, level of education, marital status) played a role in change intentions regarding habits and their perception after the implementation of the Health Education program.
Methods
Description of the health education program
The contents discussed in the sessions included several aspects of Health Education. They were previously established by the department of Nursing Academic Coordination of the University and the medical direction of the correctional facility, as part of a comprehensive approach of the more prevalent health issues of the imprisoned population. Table 1 depicts the contents of each session, the number of participants and the assessment of each session.
Inmates were divided in two groups, according to whether they were included in PAIEM or not, as to adapt the contents of sessions to the needs of different receptors. The decision was based on the fact that inmates included in PAIEM, diagnosed of a mental disorder, presented a series of features such as impaired functional capacities for the development of daily tasks, greater vulnerability to stress and poorer physical health25. The contents of sessions aimed at PAIEM inmates were treatment adherence, stress adaptation and tolerance, hygiene and self-care and protection of sleep. On the other hand, the contents of sessions aimed at inmates not included in PAIEM were tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, healthy diet and physical activity.
All sessions were held in the correctional facility of Ocaña I, they had an approximate duration of 50 minutes and were carried out by nursing students (under the supervision of teachers and medical and nursing staff of the facility). The sessions were lead in a dynamic and participatory way supported by audiovisual material.
Participants
Participants included 65 males of age imprisoned in the correctional facility of Ocaña I. the selection of individuals was randomly made by medical and nursing staff of the facility.
Measuring instruments
At the end of each session an evaluation was made by means of an anonymous ad-hoc designed questionnaire. It included five dichotomous reply questions (YES/NO) where the participants were asked to say whether they had the intention to change their negative habits, they were going to adopt positive habits, their opinion on the issue had changed, they had discovered new information and they felt well informed. Moreover, the questionnaire also included a question regarding the assessment of the session where participants were asked to tell their degree of satisfactions by means of a four-point Likert scale (1= "Unsatisfied"; 2= "Poorly satisfied"; 3= "Satisfied"; 4= "Very satisfied").
Ethical aspects
Authorization for the development of this study was sought by the Direction of the Correctional Facility Ocaña I, according to the legal terms included in Act 7/99 on "Studies and research carried out in the correctional environment". All participants were requested informed consent. Data collection was carried out by those responsible for educational sessions. Data was been treated anonymously and confidentially.
Statistical analysis
Univariate (descriptive statistics and frequencies) and bivariate (one factor ANOVA, t Test and square-Chi independence test) analysis were carried out. Measuring the effect size of one-factor ANOVA and t test was done by means of η2. Statistical software in all analysis was IBM® SPSS® Statistics 19.0.
Results
Regarding the features of participants it is worth noting that 29.2% were included in PAIEM and the remaining 70.8% were not. According to age 16.9% were between 18 and 29 years old; 24.6% between 30 and 39; 26.2% between 40 and 49 and 32.3% were over 50 years old. Regarding to the level of education only 40% reported having completed some kind of education (at least Primary Education) while 38.5% reported having basic yet incomplete education (no School Graduate nor Compulsory Secondary Education) and 21.5% had not completed any type of education. In relation to marital status, the vast majority (75.4%) were single, separated or divorced while 24.6% reported being married or having stable partners.
As we can see, after Health Education sessions, three out of every four individuals had the intention to change their negative habits and adopt positive habits (Figure 1). The lower percentage of positive answers was regarding the question of whether they had discovered new information (64.6%).
The overall evaluation of sessions was very positive (M = 3.51, SD = 0.62). In fact, 55.4% reported feeling very satisfied and 41.5% satisfied while only 3.1% chose the "Poorly satisfied" or "Unsatisfied" options. The valuation analysis according to the type of educational session the individual had attended did not reveal statistically significant differences (F = 0.99; p = 0.44; η2 = 0.11). There were not significant differences in the valuation of sessions according to whether it was PAIEM individuals (M = 3,32) or not- PAIEM (M = 3.59) (t = -1.34; p = 0.19; η2 = 0.04); their age: under 40 years old (M = 3.67) versus 40 years or older (M = 3.39) (t = 1.78; p = 0.08; η2 = 0.05); their marital status: no partner (M = 3.47) versus partner M = 3.63) (t = -0.88; p = 0.38; η2 = 0.01); or their educational level: no education (M = 3.59) versus education (M = 3.38) (t = 1.32; p = 0.19; η2 = 0.03).
Then it was assessed whether the Health Education program had an impact on the intention of change regarding health habits and the perception among PAIEM and not-PAIEM individuals. As depicted in Table 2 there was only an association between being PAIEM or not-PAIEM and the percentage of affirmative answers to questions regarding the intention of adopting healthy habits (p= 0.04) and the change of perception on the issue (p=0.02). After group sessions, the percentage of inmates who did have an intention of change was higher among non- PAIEM individuals (84.8%) than among PAIEM individuals (57.9%). Something similar was observed regarding the change of perception on the issue since 87.0% of non-PAIEM individuals answered positively to this question while only 57.9% of PAIEM individuals did so.
Moreover, socio-demographic features of participants were analyzed (age, level of education and marital status) to determine whether they were related to the intention of change and the perception after the Health Education program.
Starting with age, there was no statistical association between this variable, the intention to change habits and perception (Table 3).
With regard to the level of education, the results depicted in Table 4 reveal that this variable was only associated to the percentage of positive answers regarding the change of perception (p= 0.02). In fact, there were a higher percentage of individuals that reported having changed their perception on the issue among those who had not completed any type of education (89.7%) than among those who had (61.5%).
With regard to marital status, this variable was significantly associated with the intention of change (p=0.02) and almost significantly with feeling well informed (p=0.09). In particular, all inmates with stable partners had the intention to change their negative habits and felt well informed while the rate of positive answers to these questions among single inmates was 67.3% and 77.6% respectively (Table 5).
Discussion
One of the main results of this study is the high rate of positive response following Health Education programs and the intention to adopt healthy habits. Three out of every four participants intended to change their negative habits and adopting healthier ones.
There is scarce literature on the evaluation of health promotion programs in prisons. One of the most recent international publications shows the positive results of health promotion among female inmates and its implication within prison to share new knowledge on the issue of health26.
In this study overall valuation of sessions was very positive. The vast majority of participants reported feeling satisfied or very satisfied after attending the educational session. In fact, community activities have proven very effective in the promotion of health and the prevention of diseases27 also within prisons28.
When comparing results between PAIEM and non-PAIEM individuals, the percentage of positive answers regarding the intention of adopting positive habits was higher among non-PAIEM individuals.
A potential explanation of this would be that Health Education sessions, although specifically designed according to the health needs of inmates included in PAIEM, possibly were not sufficiently adapted to their cognitive and learning skills. Moreover, it is worth considering that this program includes individuals with mental disorders and according to some authors there are personality variables such as impulsivity or recklessness which are closely related to criminal behavior29 and do not promote either health habits. On the other hand, the same year when the study was carried out (2013) the Guidelines for the Promotion of Mental Health within Prisons30 were published in Spain, which serves as a reference for the design of new Health Education programs aimed at inmates with mental disorders.
The results of this study also reveal the poor literacy of inmates. 38.5% of participants had not completed compulsory secondary education and only 1.5% had gone to University. Previous studies carried out in Spain31 revealed a literacy rate of 9% in prison and over 50% of inmates having not completed their primary education18. It has also been observed that part of the imprisoned population has been raised by families with low income and as adults they have low socio-economic situations with elementary pr primary education32. These data corresponds what has been observed in the present study.
We know from this study that inmates with no education reported higher positive response rates on the change of perception than those who had completed some kind of education. This could be due to the fact that the first had less previous knowledge on the issues included in the sessions and thus, after the sessions the change has taken place.
There are different explanations regarding this association. In Norwegian prisons33, they observed that neither education nor ethnicity seemed to explain the differences among inmates regarding the search of helping behaviours while other studies34 report that there is indeed an association between education and the search of helping behaviors. The present study has observed an association with the change of perception but not with other variables under consideration.
With regard to marital status, a significant association was observed considering the intention of change. It seems reasonable to think that the fact of having a stable partner would translate into further intention of changing negative habits. While it is true that being married can be considered, as any other social support, a protective factor of individual health, there is also evidence that imprisonment entails a high rate of break-ups and an increased risk for sexually transmitted diseases as a consequence of intercourse within prison35. Both factors are especially negative for the health of inmates.
Limitations and strengths. Among the limitations of this study we can note the following: First, we must consider the potential cognitive impairment of inmates with mental disorders, included in PAIEM. Therefore, we designed a special questionnaire with simple and short questions. Second, the size of the sample is reduced, something which limits the generalization of results. Third, the intention of change regarding health habits and the perception has been analyzed but we do not count upon information on actual effective changes. This is why future research could include long term follow-up to determine whether these intentions translate into real changes.
On the other hand, among its strengths, we must note that thematic diversity of sessions has made a significant contribution. Experts on health education with group methodology always recommend creating small groups as to ensure their operability36 and in this sense the range has been of 5 to 14 participants, thus promoting the efficiency and dynamics of sessions. Multidisciplinary and interinstitutional actions to implement this pilot project are also one of its strengths. It has been planned to repeat it with a greater sample and better adaptation of groups after the high degree of satisfaction among participants.
Applicability. The challenge of this kind of projects is the principle of equity of Public Health and developing new strategies for the promotion of health aimed at especially vulnerable populations. As a novelty this study has included a new approach of health education sessions which have been carried out by Nursing students.
Conclusions. Health education is a crucial and effective instrument in the promotion of health habits and the prevention of diseases within prisons. It highlights the need for integrating these tools in the nucleus of health promotion strategies as for carrying out follow-up studies to determine their effectiveness.
