Resumen
MOLINA-COLOMA, V; LARA-MACHADO, R; PEREZ-PEDRAZA, B y LOPEZ-RODRIGUEZ, D. Psychological symptomatology in a prison population: an exploratory study of age, psychopathological history and time in prison. Rev. esp. sanid. penit. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.1, pp.20-27. Epub 12-Abr-2021. ISSN 2013-6463. https://dx.doi.org/10.18176/resp.00027.
Objectives
Identify psychological symptoms relating to age, psychopathological history and time in prison in women and men incarcerated in a prison.
Material and method
Cross-sectional study. The sample was made up of 100 inmates, 50 men and 50 women and the symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) was used to assess psychopathological symptoms.
Results
This study shows that inmates with a psychopathological history prior to entry to prison, younger inmates (18-29 years) and inmates who have been a short time in prison present more psychopathological symptoms.
Discussion
The results found suggest the implementation of a protocol for psychological care of prisoners in general, but highlights a particular interest in the care of cases with people with a psychopathological history prior to entering prison, in those who are younger and those who have been in prison for a short time.
