创伤暴露和创伤相关症状在被监禁的男性中普遍存在,表明需要行为健康干预。对居住在一所高度戒备监狱的成年男性(N= 592)的随机样本进行了创伤暴露和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状的筛查。创伤是被监禁男子的普遍经历。当前 PTSD 症状和终生 PTSD 的发生率(30% 至 60%)显着高于一般男性人群的发生率(3% 至 6%)。终生创伤和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)发生率与精神疾病相关。这项研究表明,需要对被监禁男性的创伤采取性别敏感的应对措施,并针对共病精神障碍和创伤暴露类型进行修改。为被监禁男性制定性别敏感的创伤干预措施并进行测试对于改善大部分返回城市社区的被监禁男性的行为健康结果是必要的。
Trauma exposure and trauma-related symptoms are prevalent among incarcerated men, suggesting a need for behavioral health intervention. A random sample of adult males (N= 592) residing in a single high-security prison were screened for trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Trauma was a universal experience among incarcerated men. Rates of current PTSD symptoms and lifetime PTSD were significantly higher (30 to 60 %) than rates found in the general male populations (3 to 6 %). Lifetime rates of trauma and PTSD were associated with psychiatric disorders. This study suggests the need for a gender-sensitive response to trauma among incarcerated men with modification for comorbid mental disorders and type of trauma exposure. Developing gender-sensitive trauma interventions for incarcerated men and testing them is necessary to improve the behavioral health outcomes of incarcerated men who disproportionately return to urban communities.
