Original Survey

En el presente artículo se presentan y analizan los resultados estadísticos obtenidos de 454 encuestas de autoinforme dirigidas a evaluar la calidad de vida en prisión que han sido completadas por algo más del diez por ciento de la población penitenciaria de cinco centros del sur de España, cuatro de ellas en Andalucía oriental, más el centro penitenciario de Melilla. Se trata de una investigación realizada a partir de una versión independiente de la encuesta original desarrollada por Alison Liebling Measuring the Quality of Prison Life (MQPL). El principal objetivo general es contribuir a profundizar en el conocimiento de la realidad de las prisiones españolas. En términos más específicos, verificar si se confirma, o no, el fundamento constitucional con el que se sigue concibiendo la pena de prisión en España: la reeducación y reinserción social del condenado (artículo 25.2 CE). Para ello se analizan las respuestas a una serie de preguntas que se enmarcan en tres variables o dimensiones: (1) la relación de los internos con el personal de prisión; (2) la relación de los reclusos entre sí; (3) la eficacia o no del tratamiento penitenciario de cara a su reincorporación a la sociedad. El análisis permite no sólo vislumbrar diferencias en cuanto al régimen de vida de los centros penitenciarios analizados sino, además, evaluar la validez de la hipótesis de partida, a saber, la vigencia actual de lo establecido en el mencionado precepto constitucional.This paper presents and analyzes statistical results obtained from 454 self-report surveys aimed at evaluating the quality of prison life of inmates. These have been completed by over ten percent of the prison population of five prisons in the south of the Spain, four of them in eastern Andalusia, plus the penitentiary center of Melilla. The research is based on an independent version of the the original survey developed by Alison Liebling, Measuring the Quality of Prison Life (MQPL).The main general objective of this paper is to contribute to deepening the knowledge of the reality of Spanish prisons. In more specific terms, to inquire into the validity of the hypothesis on which prison sentences are still formally based in Spain: re-education and social reintegration of the convicted person (article 25.2 of the Spanish Constitution). For this purpose, we have analyzed the current state of prison ‘morals’ from the answers of the surveyed prisoners to a questionnaire that includes, among others, some questions connectedwith the following three issues: (1) their relationship with prison staff; (2) their relationship with other inmates; (3) the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of prison treatment in terms of their reintegration into society.The research will allow not only to detect possible differences in the prison life of the five penitentiaries analyzed, but also to confirm or not the initial hypothesis raised, namely, the current validity of what is established in the aforementioned artículo 25.2 of the Spanish Constitution.

This article inquires into the validity of the hypothesis on which prison sentences are formally based in Spain, according to Article 25.2 of Spanish Constitution: reeducation and social reintegration of the convicted person. For this purpose, we have analyzed the current state of prison “morals” in five penitentiary facilities located in the south of Spain through a representative sample of prisoners. They have answered a questionnaire that includes, among others, some questions connected with the following two issues: (a) their relationship with prison staff, and (b) the prison environment as related to the effectiveness of their treatment in terms of their reintegration into society. This investigation will also allow to detect possible differences in the quality of prison life in the five penitentiaries analyzed.

While self-report of overall quality of life has been widely examined, there are no studies that explore the impact of the relative importance people give to the various categories of their quality of life. Therefore, with a quantitative methodology and a co-relational transverse design, we analyze differences in the assessment when the importance given to each category is evaluated. Participants were 530 students from the city of Antofagasta in the North of Chile, aged between 15 and 18 years. They were from subsidized, public secondary schools and private and state universities in the city who were assessed using the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire. Results: Differences were found in the assessment of categories when results were analyzed based on gender and age and when incorporating an assessment of importance. Even when the results were not conclusive, there was evidence of a need to incorporate an importance variable when assessing quality of life.

Various survey measures have been developed to assess prison climate. Because these instruments have shortcomings, the Prison Climate Questionnaire (PCQ) was developed to measure prison climate and its related domains across a broad prison population. In this article, the instrument and its psychometric qualities are presented. Results show that the PCQ’s factor structure, reliability, and validity were in all aspects satisfactory. It was concluded that the PCQ is a promising instrument that can be used to measure and monitor individuals’ perceptions on the quality of prison life.

Calidad De Vida

Este trabajo analiza el desempeño relacional como dimensión clave para medir la calidad de vida en prisión. Se entiende por dicho desempeño el que se desprende de la valoración que los internos hacen de las relaciones y el trato dispensado por el centro penitenciario y su personal en conjunto, y del proporcionado en particular por el personal de vigilancia y el personal de tratamiento. Se ha realizado una encuesta entre 2017 y 2018 a una muestra de 102 personas que cumplen condena en el Centro Penitenciario Sevilla II. El cuestionario utilizado es una adaptación al contexto español del Measuring Quality of Prison Life (MQPL) desarrollado por Alison Liebling desde el Prison Research Center. Los resultados confirman que en la valoración de la calidad de vida que hacen los presos resultan determinantes el trato que se recibe y sus relaciones con los funcionarios de vigilancia, por un lado, y el personal de tratamiento, por otro.

Sobre Todo

Estudios previos sobre la vida en los centros penitenciarios españoles han tendido a hablar de ‘la’ prisión como una institución con condiciones de encarcelamiento uniformes. Sin embargo, la literatura internacional sugiere que la privación de libertad puede experimentarse de forma muy distinta según el centro penitenciario donde se cumpla condena. Esta investigación analiza si existen distintos tipos de prisión en España, a qué factores son debidas dichas diferencias, cuáles son más relevantes y cuáles son sus implicaciones. Con esta finalidad, hemos administrado el cuestionario Measuring Quality of Prison Life a quinientos presos en cuatro centros penitenciarios de Barcelona. Los resultados de nuestro estudio muestran que la calidad de vida difiere significativamente entre las prisiones analizadas. Estas diferencias, que conllevan importantes consecuencias para las personas presas, no obedecen en exclusiva al historial del interno, sino también, o sobre todo, a la organización del centro y al sistema de relaciones interpersonales existente.

Resumen:El artículo 45 CE incluye el derecho a disfrutar el medio ambiente y, por tanto, la necesidad de proteger el ejercicio del mismo. En este precepto se combinan diversos postulados proteccionistas como la calidad de vida y la utilización racional de los recursos naturales con la consecución de objetivos de progreso y desarrollo. La ausencia de una ley general de medio ambiente que desarrollara el artículo 45 CE ha sido suplida en gran medida por la transposición de normativa ambiental de la Unión europea. La jurisprudencia ha reconocido el carácter dinámico de este derecho pero no su consideración como derecho fundamental. Summary:I. Introduction. II. The right of enjoyment of the environment. III. The duty of protection of the environment. IV. The state of the matter.Abstract:Article 45 of Spanish Constitution foresees the right to enjoy the environment and, therefore, the need to protect the exercise of the environment. This precept combines several protectionist postulates such as the quality of life and the rational use of natural resources with the achievement of goals of progress and development. The absence of a general environmental law in order to develop this constitutional article has been filled, to some extent, by the transposition ofenvironmental legislation of the European Union. Jurisprudence has recognized the dynamic nature of this right, but has denied the status of fundamental right.

There is a growing consensus that quality of life (QOL) is an important outcome for assessing the effectiveness of interventions for dementia, but there is no agreement about how to best measure it. Various approaches to QOL assessment have been employed to measure the QOL of persons with dementia, including patient self-report, caregiver proxy report and observational assessment by trained observers. Furthermore, several dementia-specific measures of QOL have been developed, and several generic measures of QOL have been used to assess QOL in dementia. However, to date, QOL has rarely been included as an outcome measure in clinical trials of pharmacotherapy for dementia. This manuscript reviews the current state of knowledge about QOL assessment in dementia.

El propósito del presente estudio es investigar acerca de la relación existente entre la Autoestima manifestada por personas mayores de 65 años y la realización de actividad física. El autoconcepto y la Autoestima aparecen como componentes psicológicos fundamentales de la calidad de vida durante la adultez mayor y del bienestar personal. La Autoestima ha sido propuesta como un área de intervención para mejorar la calidad de vida en la población mayor.  La muestra la componen 184 personas mayores, de las que 92 realizan actividad física frecuentemente y otras 92 desarrollan un estilo de vida sedentario. Se aplicó el cuestionario de Autoestima personal de Rosenberg. Los resultados muestran diferentes niveles de Autoestima entre los mayores que realizan actividad física y los que no, siendo significativamente más alta en los primeros. Estudios con objetivos similares demuestran y apoyan la comprobación de la hipótesis de partida que establece la relación positiva entre la Autoestima y la realización de actividad física. Abstract. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between self-esteem perceived by people over 65 and practicing of physical activity. Self-concept and self-esteem emerge as fundamental psychological components of quality of life in elderly and for personal well-being. Self-esteem has been proposed as an area of intervention to improve quality of life in senior citizens. The sample consisted of 184 elderly people, 92 of which often practiced physical activity, whereas the other 92 carried out a sedentary lifestyle. Rosenberg´s Personal Self-esteem questionnaire was applied. Results show different levels of self-esteem between elderly people who practice physical activity and those who do not, being significantly higher in the formers. Studies with similar goals support and corroborate the initial hypothesis that establishes a positive relationship between self-esteem and practicing physical activity.
