Abstract

Baş etme, bireylerin karşılaştıkları stres faktörlerini yönetmek ve onlarla baş edebilmek için geliştirdikleri stratejiler olarak tanımlanabilir. Cezaevi yoğun düzeyde stres faktörü barındırır. Cezaevi ile sonuçlanan sürecin kendisi de pek çok stres faktörünün etkisi altındadır. Dahası, cezaevi sonrası yaşanan süreç de stres faktörlerine nasıl yanıt verildiğiyle birebir ilişkilidir. Bu durum, mahkûmların baş etme tarzlarını ve bu tarzların diğer ruh sağlığı ile ilişkili faktörlerle ilişkisinin incelenmesini oldukça önemli bir hâle getirmektedir. Buradan hareket eden bu derleme çalışmasında, öncelikle baş etme kavramı incelenmiş, takiben baş etme ile zorlayıcı yaşantılar arasındaki ilişkiye vurgu yapılmış ve zorlayıcı bir yaşantı olan mahkûmlukta baş etmenin ruh sağlığı, çeşitli sosyodemografik özellikler ve suç ilişkili değişkenler ile ilişkisini incelemek üzere ulusal ve uluslararası araştırmalar ve derlemeler bir araya getirilmiştir. Derlemenin bulguları, koşullara uygun baş etme tarzlarının kullanımında esneklik gösterebilmenin mahkûmlar için etkili olabileceğine işaret etmiş ve işlevsiz baş etme stratejilerinin kullanımını azaltmak üzere sosyal destek gibi kaynaklara başvurmanın önemini vurgulamıştır.

Coping and Mental Health in Prison Conditions

Abstract

Coping encompasses the strategies individuals use to manage and respond to stressors. Prisons represent environments with high levels of stress, while the process leading to incarceration and the period following release are heavily influenced by numerous stress factors. This underscores the importance of studying inmates’ coping styles and their relationship to mental health and related variables. This review delves into the concept of coping, examining its role in dealing with challenging experiences and emphasizing the relationship between coping and imprisonment—a particularly stressful experience. It also compiles findings from national and international studies that explore how coping strategies during imprisonment are linked to mental health, sociodemographic characteristics, and crime-related factors. The review highlights that inmates who can flexibly adapt their coping styles to different circumstances tend to fare better. It further underscores the value of resources such as social support in mitigating the use of ineffective coping strategies and promoting better mental health outcomes.
