Abstract(s)
A presente investigação tem dois objectivos: (1)
Analisar a incidência de ideação suicida e de
perturbação emocional numa amostra de 66 presos
preventivos de um estabelecimento prisional central
em dois momentos, durante a primeira semana de
reclusão e após seis meses de cumprimento da pena, e
nesse mesmo período de tempo; (2) explorar o grau de
perturbação emocional e sintomatologia psicopatológica
em dois grupos de reclusos, reclusos com
ideação suicida (Grupo CIS) e reclusos sem ideação
suicida (Grupo SIS).
A ideação suicida foi avaliada através do
Questionário de Ideação Suicida enquanto o Inventário
de Sintomas Psicopatológicos permitiu avaliar a
perturbação emocional e sintomatologia psicopatológica
associada. Os resultados deste estudo permitem
verificar que a incidência de ideação suicida se
mantém estável ao longo dos primeiros seis meses de
reclusão, enquanto a incidência de perturbação
emocional diminui significativamente nesse mesmo
período de tempo. A divisão da amostra em dois
grupos, permitiu verificar que o Grupo CIS apresenta
níveis de perturbação emocional significativamente
superiores ao observado no Grupo SIS, particularmente
sintomatologia psicopatológica depressiva,
ansiosa, psicótica e hostil e, enquanto o Grupo CIS
praticamente mantêm os mesmos níveis de perturbação
emocional ao longo dos primeiros seis meses de
reclusão, o Grupo SIS demonstra uma enorme
diminuição nos níveis de perturbação emocional.
Concluindo, a ideação suicida encontra-se fortemente
associada à perturbação mental, nomeadamente
à sintomatologia depressiva, ansiosa, psicótica e hostil.
Nos reclusos com ideação suicida a perturbação
mental apresenta um carácter disposicional, mantendo-
-se praticamente constante ao longo da execução da
pena, enquanto nos reclusos sem ideação suicida
apresenta carácter reactivo, diminuindo após seis
meses de reclusão.
This study has two mainly purposes: (1) Analyze the incidence of suicide ideation and psychological distress in 66 remanded prisoners in a central prison of Portugal in two moments, during the first week of imprisonment and after six months, and, in this same period of time; (2) explore the degree of emotional distress and type of psychological distress in two groups, prisoners with suicidal ideation (CIS) and without suicidal ideation (SIS). Suicide ideation was measured with the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire and psychological distress with the Brief Symptom Inventory. Our results show that the incidence of suicidal ideation is mainly the same through the first six months of imprisonment, while the incidence of psychological distress significantly decreases in the same period of time. Dividing our sample in two groups, we can see that compared with the SIS group, the CIS group has a highly significantly level of psychological distress, particularly depressive, anxious, psychotic and hostile distress and, while the CIS group mainly maintain the same levels of psychological distress through the first six months of imprisonment, the SIS group shows a highly reduction in the levels of psychological distress. In conclusion, suicidal ideation is highly associated with psychological distress, namely depressive, anxious, psychotic and hostile distress. In prisoners with suicidal ideation, psychological distress presents itself like a dispositional character, keeping generally constant during imprisonment, while in prisoners without suicidal ideation presents itself like reactive character, diminishing after six months of imprisonment.
