          Abstract

          Objective

          In most European countries, correctional healthcare provision is under strain or in the process of change regarding its management model and the implications that such modifications may entail for the improvement of inmates’ health. This paper compares the functioning and the results of health management in a facility whose healthcare service is integrated within an autonomic health system and others which depend on the department of corrections.

          Materials and methods

          Cross-sectional study where the study unit is the facility itself. From the data collected from the record of Monthly Health Statistics of Penitentiary Institutions we have constructed a series of indicators according to the recommendations of the National Health System.

          Results

          The physician to nurse ratio per inmate is higher in the transferred facility. Only the transferred establishment has telemedicine resources. Attendance to primary health services is higher that in all non-transferred establishments, while the mean attendance to specialized consultation in the transferred facility doubles that of the remaining centers.

          Discussion

          We have observed greater access to specialized care in the correctional facility managed by the community health system when compared to that of the facilities managed by Penitentiary Institutions. This statement is based on a series of effectivity indicators and results that have provided significantly improved outcome in the transferred facility.

          Resumen

          Objetivo

          En la mayoría de los países europeos, los servicios sanitarios penitenciarios se encuentran sometidos a tensión o en proceso de cambio en lo que respecta a su modelo de gestión y a las repercusiones que estos cambios puedan tener en la mejora de la salud de los reclusos. Este trabajo compara el funcionamiento y los resultados de la gestión sanitaria en una prisión cuyo servicio sanitario está integrado en un servicio de salud autonómico con otros dependientes de instituciones penitenciarias.

          Materiales y métodos

          Estudio transversal en el que la unidad de estudio es el centro. A partir de datos obtenidos del registro de Estadística Sanitaria Mensual de Instituciones Penitenciarias se han construido una serie de indicadores propuestos por el Sistema Nacional de Salud.

          Resultados

          La ratio de médicos y de enfermeros por interno es mayor en el centro transferido. Solo el centro transferido dispone de recursos de telemedicina. La frecuentación de los servicios de atención primaria es superior en todos los centros no transferidos, mientras que la frecuentación de consultas especializadas del centro transferido duplica la media de las consultas especializadas de los demás centros.

          Discusión

          Se ha evidenciado una mayor accesibilidad de la asistencia especializada en el centro penitenciario gestionado por el servicio comunitario de salud, si lo comparamos con el gestionado por Instituciones Penitenciarias. Esta afirmación se sustenta en unos indicadores de efectividad y resultados que han proporcionado datos significativamene mejores en el centro transferido.

          The prevalence of mental disorders in Spanish prisons.

          The prevalence of mental disorders among prisoners has been researched in a few countries worldwide but never previously in Spain. Our aim was to estimate the lifetime and last month prevalence of mental disorders in a Spanish prison population. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, epidemiological study of 707 male prisoners. Sociodemographic, clinical and offending data were collected by interviewers. Offending data were confirmed using penitentiary records. Mental disorders were assessed with the clinical version of the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition Axis I Disorders, and personality disorders were assessed through the Spanish version of the International Personality Disorders Examination. The lifetime prevalence of mental disorder was 84.4%. Substance use disorder (abuse and dependence) was the most frequent disorder (76.2%) followed by anxiety disorder (45.3%), mood disorder (41%) and psychotic disorder (10.7%). The period (last month) prevalence of any mental disorder was 41.2%. Anxiety disorder was the most prevalent (23.3%) followed by substance use disorder (abuse and dependence; 17.5%), mood disorder (14.9%) and psychotic disorder (4.2%). Although period prevalence figures, which are those generally provided in research into rates of mental disorder among prisoners, are useful for planning improvements to services within prisons, the fact that almost all of these men had a lifetime prevalence of at least one mental disorder suggests a much wider need for improving services, including community services, for this group.
