RESUMEN
Introducción. Los objetivos de este estudio han sido realizar un análisis de la prevalencia vital de los trastornos mentales en una muestra española de delincuentes sexuales encarcelados, y analizar la prevalencia vital de trastornos mentales en diferentes subgrupos de agresores sexuales. Material y métodos. La presencia de trastorno mental a lo largo de la vida fue evaluada en 61 delincuentes sexuales, contra adultos o niños. Resultados. La prevalencia vital de trastorno mental fue muy elevada (62,3%), aunque ambos grupos no difieren en la prevalencia del trastorno mental. El abuso de sustancias fue el trastorno más frecuente, seguido por los trastornos afectivos y de ansiedad. Discusión. En esta muestra los trastornos mentales son un problema de salud relevante. Los resultados son consistentes con lo obtenido en estudios internacionales previos, y pueden justificar que se deba realizar un diagnóstico adecuado antes de iniciar programas de tratamiento en prisión para el delito cometido(AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction. The objectives of this study were conducting an analysis of both lifetime prevalence of mental disorders in a Spanish sample of imprisoned sex offenders and lifetime prevalence of mental disorders in different subgroups of sex offenders. Material and methods. The presence of mental disorder throughout life was assessed in 61 sex offenders, against adults or children. Results. Lifetime prevalence of mental disorder was very high (62.3%), although both groups did not differ in prevalence of mental disorder. Substance abuse was the most common disorder, followed by affective and anxiety disorders. Discussion. In this sample, mental disorders are a significant health problem. Results are consistent with those obtained in previous international studies, and may justify the need to make a proper diagnosis before entering the treatment programs in prison for the offense committed(AU)
