“…Además, las prisiones deberían responsabilizarse de una adecuada atención a la salud mental de los internos (Moller, Stover, Jurgens, Gatherer y Nikogosian, 2007), pudiendo considerarse el ingreso en prisión (Pérez, Herrero, Velasco y Rodríguez-Díaz, 2015), como una oportunidad para la intervención y mejora de la salud (Powell, Harris, Condon y Kemple, 2010), en aplicación de los principios de la Justicia Terapéutica acerca de los victimarios en prisión (Asociación Iberoamericana de Justicia Terapéu-tica, 2017). Es más, la salud mental puede considerarse un prerrequisito para una adecuada integración y preparación para la vida en libertad (Jordan, 2011). En todo caso, es necesaria más investigación que aborde la relación entre salud mental y prisión como un objetivo central (Walker et al, 2014).…”

ResumenAunque la literatura ha abordado ampliamente el estudio de la prisionización, el análisis de los efectos de las variables criminológicas en la adaptación a prisión y del estatus social en prisión, y de éstas en el ajuste psicoló-gico y las destrezas cognitivas que emplean los internos no ha sido suficientemente trabajado. Para conocer de ello, evaluamos en variables criminológicas, adaptación a prisión, estatus social en prisión, ajuste psicológico y destrezas cognitivas a una muestra de 112 internos varones en cumplimiento de una pena privativa de libertad de una prisión portuguesa, con edades entre 23 y 74 años (M = 40.40, DT = 1.04), 77 (68.8 %) con antecedentes penales (reincidentes). Los resultados revelaron que las variables criminológicas (e.g., problemas en la familia) estaban relacionados con niveles más bajos de adaptación a la prisión. Además, los internos presentaban peor ajuste psicológico que la población general, y los reincidentes que los primarios. Asimismo, también pusieron de manifiesto que los internos se caracterizaban en la resolución de problemas por recurrir a estrategias de afrontamiento evitativas (i.e., Evitación cognitiva, Aceptación

“…Further, residential settings that provide mental healthcare are encouraged to consider the nature of their institutional settings (e.g. the regime) and any potential negative mental health effects caused by institutionalisation (Jordan, 2011); thus, the examination of sound here proposed would be a welcome addition to the literature and its implications for practice would be beneficial for the provision of frontline mental health services.…”

BackgroundThere is a large literature suggesting that noise can be detrimental to health and numerous policy documents have promoted noise abatement in clinical settings. ObjectivesThis paper documents the role of noise in clinical environments and its deleterious effects with a particular focus on mental health care. Our intention however, is to go beyond the notion that noise is simply undesirable and examine the extent to which researchers have explored the meaning of sound in hospital settings and identify new opportunities for research and practice. Data sources and review methodsThis is a narrative review which has grouped the literature and issues in the field into themes concerning the general issues of noise in health care; sleep noise and hospital environments; noise in intensive care units; implications for service users and staff; and suggestions for new ways of conceptualising and researching clinical soundscapes. Data sources comprised relevant UK policy documents and the results of a literature search of Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Knowledge using terms such as noise, health, hospital, soundscape and relevant additional terms derived from the papers retrieved. In addition the references of retrieved articles were scanned for additional relevant material and historical items significant in shaping the field. ResultsExcess unwanted noise can clearly be detrimental to health and impede recovery, and this is clearly recognised by policymakers especially in the UK context. We use the literature surveyed to argue that it is important also to see the noise in clinical environments in terms of the meaning it conveys and rather than merely containing unwanted sound, clinical environments have a 'soundscape'. This comprises noises which convey meaning, for example about the activities of other people, the rhythms of the day and the nature of the auditory community of the hospital. Unwanted sound may have unwanted effects, especially on those who are most vulnerable, yet this does not necessarily mean that silence is the better option.Page 2 Therefore it is our contention that it is important to begin thinking about the social functions of sound in the mental health environment. ConclusionsWhilst it can be stressful, sound can also be soothing, reassuring and a rich source of information about the environment as well. It may be used to secure a degree of privacy for oneself, to exclude others or as a source of solidarity among friends and colleagues. The challenge then is to understand the work that sound does in its ecological context in health care settings.

“…Gojkovic's (2010) national study of English prisons' mental health services' organisation and provision reports tension for mental healthcare staff in relation to 'delivering care in a punitive environment ' (p. 284). Indeed, 'the provision of mental healthcare and the pursuit of good mental health in the prison milieu are challenging' (Jordan, 2011(Jordan, , p. 1061. It is therefore appropriate to devote further attention to social and institutional structures that permeate the prison setting and affect mental health services (Jordan, 2010).…”
