本文调查了1055名男性欧洲长期囚犯的创伤和精神痛苦的患病率，作为对比利时、克罗地亚、丹麦、英格兰、芬兰、法国、德国、立陶宛、波兰、西班牙和瑞典服刑至少五年的囚犯生活条件的更广泛研究的一部分。采用创伤后诊断量表（PDS）、简明症状量表（BSI）以及关于自杀未遂和自我攻击行为的问题进行书面调查。参与者平均经历了三次创伤事件，其中14%随后发展为创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。在每个国家抽样中，50%以上的参与者因心理症状需要治疗，近三分之一的人曾试图自杀。
This article investigates the prevalence of traumatization and mental distress in a sample of 1055 male European long-term prisoners as part of a wider study of the living conditions of prisoners serving sentences of at least five years in Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Spain and Sweden. Data were collected in a written survey using the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) as well as questions on attempted suicide and auto-aggressive behaviour. Participants experienced a mean of three traumatic events, with 14 per cent developing a Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) subsequently. In each national sample, more than 50 per cent of the participants were in need of treatment because of psychological symptoms and nearly one-third had attempted suicide.
