Resumen

Investigaciones previas llevadas a cabo a nivel internacional han puesto de manifiesto una elevada prevalencia del consumo de alcohol y otras drogas y de trastornos mentales entre el colectivo femenino privado de libertad. Sin embargo, no es frecuente encontrar estudios que analicen la asociación entre ambos aspectos. La muestra del presente estudio estuvo compuesta por 143 mujeres privadas de libertad en dos centros penitenciarios de la Región de Murcia, quienes de manera voluntaria cumplimentaron un cuestionario que incluía información demográfica, penitenciaria, de consumo de alcohol y otras drogas previamente y en prisión (adaptadas del cuestionario ASSIST) y la presencia de depresión, ansiedad y estrés en prisión (mediante el cuestionario DASS-21). Las internas que presentaban depresión, ansiedad y estrés mostraban una mayor prevalencia de consumo de alcohol y otras drogas, en comparación con las que no, mostrando el análisis de regresión asociaciones estadísticamente significativas.
