BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Evidence showed that reoffending habits are increasing among offenders with violent sexual behaviors. Given the recidivism rates, a psychotherapeutic intervention becomes imperative. This study examined the efficacy of prison-based cognitive behavioral rehabilitation intervention (PCBRI) on violent sexual behaviors among sex offenders in Nigerian prisons.
A total of45 participants were the sample size. Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory and Hypersexual Behavior Inventory were employed in assessing the participants at 3 points. Using a simple random allocation sequence, 23 participants were exposed to PCBRI programme and 22 participants allocated to control condition. The data obtained were analyzed using repeated measures 2-way analysis of variance.
Results indicated a significant effect of the treatment on violent sexual behaviors among sex offenders in Nigerian prisons exposed to the PCBRI programme when compared to the no-intervention group. Result also showed a significant interaction effect of time and group on sex offenders with violent sexual behaviors. Follow-up tests showed significant decrease in violent sexual behaviors after 6 months for the PCBRI group in comparison to the control group.
This study concluded that PCBRI approach is a type of psychotherapy that reduces violent sexual behaviors among sex offenders in Southeast Nigeria.
背景/目的:有证据表明,有暴力性行为的罪犯再次犯罪的情况正在增加。鉴于累犯率,心理治疗干预势在必行。本研究考察了基于监狱的认知行为康复干预(PCBRI)对尼日利亚监狱中性犯罪者暴力性行为的疗效。
样本量为45名参与者。使用强迫性行为量表和性亢进行为量表在三个时间点对参与者进行评估。采用简单随机分配序列,23名参与者接受PCBRI项目,22名参与者分配到对照组。对获得的数据进行重复测量双因素方差分析。
结果表明,与无干预组相比,接受PCBRI项目的尼日利亚监狱中性犯罪者的暴力性行为治疗有显著效果。结果还显示,时间和组对有暴力性行为的性犯罪者有显著的交互作用。随访测试表明,与对照组相比,PCBRI组在6个月后暴力性行为显著减少。
本研究得出结论,PCBRI方法是一种心理治疗方法,可减少尼日利亚东南部性犯罪者的暴力性行为。
