Vitimação prisional intervenção com vítimas no contexto prisional : uma revisão sistemática da literatura

Abstract

Background: Prison victimization has been the focus of attention by the scientific community, with a wide range of studies indicating the high prevalence of the phenomenon and its negative effects on the mental health and social reintegration of prisoners. However, little has been indicated about interventional responses, so it is essential to obtain reliable information about the intervention that seeks to mitigate its consequences and provide support to victims. Method: Systematic review, using the PRISMA guidelines. Criteria and eligibility were created, with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research was carried out in 10 electronic databases and the data collection and analysis process was carried out by two independent researchers. Results: Five publications were included, 3 quantitative studies and two theoretical articles. No publication is specifically focused on intervention with victims of prison victimization. In two of the quantitative articles, the intervention is addressed in the discussion, indicating the importance for the intervention to integrate trauma and substance abuse. The third quantitative study does not specify the intervention that was developed but concludes that the treatment is associated with low rates of victimization. Theoretical articles support the need to provide interventions that address trauma, suggesting evidence-based interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Trauma-informed treatment (TIT). Conclusion: There are few publications on intervention with victims of prison victimization, and those that exist do not focus or discuss specific intervention in the context of prison victimization, being addressed in the context of lifelong victimization. However, some important guidelines/evidence have been extracted that must be met in the intervention proposals. There is a consensus on the need to adopt empirically validated intervention models, referring to CBT, namely TIT.
