In an exploratory study we examined 55 patients who had been politically imprisoned in the GDR for at least six weeks and suffered from enduring mental sequelae of that imprisonment. Views of the patients were assessed by means of standardized open questions and rating scales. Patients reported on stressful conditions in prison, fears concerning the uncertain end of imprisonment, as well as on helpful aspects during and after imprisonment. In a cluster analysis two groups were separated: one group that found social relationships helpful for coping with their experiences and another one that did not feel helped by anybody in coping, 28% of the patients stated that the symptoms were not mainly due to experiences during imprisonment; 20% saw general positive effects of imprisonment on their life. Views of the patients were correlated with other variables such as psychopathological symptoms. The relevance of the findings is discussed briefly.
在一项探索性研究中，我们调查了55名曾在民主德国遭受至少六周政治监禁并患有该监禁所致持续性精神后遗症的患者。通过标准化的开放式问题和评分量表对患者的观点进行评估。患者报告了监狱中的压力状况、对监禁不确定结局的恐惧，以及监禁期间和之后的有益方面。在聚类分析中，分为两组：一组认为社会关系有助于应对他们的经历，另一组在应对过程中感觉没有人能提供帮助。28%的患者表示症状并非主要归因于监禁期间的经历；20%的患者认为监禁对他们的生活产生了总体积极影响。患者的观点与其他变量如精神病理症状相关。简要讨论了研究结果的相关性。
