This paper summarizes the results of a cross-sectional study aimed at exploring the role of personality disorders in predicting the suicide risk among males imprisoned for various offenses.
The data set used in analyses was based on the responses of 124 males imprisoned for various violent or non-violent offenses (M(age) = 32.39 years, SD = 8.43 years). Male offenders were interviewed using a form for demographic data and information on suicidal history. Also, they completed the Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised, as part of a broader protocol used in an ongoing study focused on the psychosocial and pharmacological aspects relevant to the diagnosis and management of personality disorders among inmates.
At the time of data collection, forty-three respondents (34.7%) were diagnosed with at least one personality disorder. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple linear regression. The frequency of suicide attempts during the periods of freedom and during incarceration were significant predictors of suicide risk. Moreover, the diagnosis of personality disorder brought a significant addition to the power of final regression model, explaining almost 8% of the variance in suicide risk among the inmates.
The findings highlight the importance of implementing prevention programs in correctional institutions, with screening and monitoring of inmates diagnosed with severe mental disorders as an important component.
本文总结了一项横断面研究的结果，该研究旨在探讨人格障碍在预测因各种罪行入狱的男性自杀风险中所起的作用。
分析中使用的数据集基于124名因各种暴力或非暴力罪行入狱的男性的回答（年龄中位数 = 32.39岁，标准差 = 8.43岁）。对男性罪犯使用一份人口统计学数据表格和一份关于自杀史的信息表格进行访谈。此外，他们还完成了《自杀行为问卷修订版》，这是一项正在进行的研究中使用的更广泛方案的一部分，该研究侧重于与监狱中人格障碍诊断和管理相关的心理社会和药理学方面。
在收集数据时，43名受访者（34.7%）被诊断患有一种或多种人格障碍。使用分层多元线性回归分析数据。在自由期间和监禁期间的自杀未遂频率是自杀风险的重要预测因素。此外，人格障碍的诊断显著增加了最终回归模型的预测能力，解释了囚犯自杀风险中近8%的方差。
研究结果凸显了在惩教机构实施预防方案的重要性，其中对被诊断患有严重精神障碍的囚犯进行筛查和监测是一个重要组成部分。
