Treatment readiness is a key predictor of drug treatment completion, rearrest, and recidivism during community reentry; however, limited data exists among homeless, female ex-offenders (HFOs). The purpose of this study was to present baseline data from a randomized controlled trial of 130 HFOs who had been released from jail or prison. Over half (60.8%) of HFOs had a treatment readiness score of ≥ 40 ( = 79, = 40.2, = 8.72). Bivariate analyses revealed that methamphetamine use, psychological well-being, and high emotional support were positively associated with treatment readiness. On the other hand, depressive symptomology and depression/anxiety scores were negatively associated with the treatment readiness score. Multiple linear regression revealed that depressive symptomology was negatively associated with treatment readiness ( = -0.377; = .001). Further analyses revealed that the effect of emotional support on treatment readiness was mediated by depressive symptomatology.
治疗准备程度是药物治疗完成情况、再次被捕以及社区重新融入期间累犯的关键预测指标;然而,在无家可归的女性刑满释放人员(HFOs)中,相关数据有限。本研究的目的是呈现一项针对130名从监狱获释的HFOs的随机对照试验的基线数据。超过半数(60.8%)的HFOs治疗准备程度得分≥40(均值 = 79,标准差 = 40.2,标准差系数 = 8.72)。双变量分析显示,使用甲基苯丙胺、心理健康状况以及高情感支持与治疗准备程度呈正相关。另一方面,抑郁症状以及抑郁/焦虑得分与治疗准备程度得分呈负相关。多元线性回归显示,抑郁症状与治疗准备程度呈负相关(β = -0.377;p = .001)。进一步分析显示,情感支持对治疗准备程度的影响通过抑郁症状起中介作用。
