Abstract(s)
A terceira geração das Terapias Cognitiva-Comportamentais, a qual é caracterizada pela abordagem terapêutica baseada na aceitação e mindfulness, tem contribuído para o tratamento da população em diversos contextos. Estudos científicos têm demonstrado a sua eficácia no contexto prisional, contudo os efeitos psicológicos na população reclusa feminina ainda são pouco claros. Assim, com o presente estudo, pretendeu-se conhecer a eficácia das Intervenções Baseadas em Mindfulness (MBIs) na saúde mental de mulheres reclusas. Através de uma Revisão Sistemática de literatura, realizou-se o apuramento e a identificação de estudos relevantes para a problemática, com recurso a quatro bases de dados, nomeadamente MEDLINE/PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus e Web of Science. Identificaram-se quatrocentos e trinta e quatro artigos para triagem que, após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, culminou com uma amostra final de vinte artigos. No geral, a análise dos vinte artigos aponta para a eficácia das MBIs na melhoria da saúde mental de mulheres reclusas. Os efeitos psicológicos mais comuns são a redução do stresse, da ansiedade, da depressão e de problemas de comportamento, nomeadamente a impulsividade/agressividade. Considerações sobre as implicações para a prática, políticas e futuras investigações são ainda discutidas no presente estudo, uma vez que a implementação de MBIs no contexto prisional sugere medidas de prevenção/intervenção vantajosas em termos de custo/eficácia para o combate ao drástico crescimento do encarceramento da população feminina.
The third generation of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies, which is characterized by a therapeutic approach based on acceptance and mindfulness, has contributed to the treatment of the population in several contexts. Scientific studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in the prison context, however the psychological effects on incarcerated females are still unclear. Thereby, the present study aimed to understand the efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) in the mental health of female prisoners. This Systematic Literature Review involved a comprehensive search within the MEDLINE/PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant studies which could answer the research question. Four hundred and thirty four articles were identified but only twenty studies met the eligibility criteria. Overall, the results of the present study suggest the efficacy of MBIs in improving female prisoners’ mental health. The most common psychological effects found were reduction of stress, anxiety, depression and behavior problems, such as impulsiveness/aggressiveness. Considerations about the implications for practice, policy and future research are further discussed in the present paper, as MBIs appear to be a cost-effective prevention/intervention strategy to fight the incarceration rate of women.
