Background.
Prisoners constitute a group with increased health and social care needs.
Although implementing policies that aim at improving outcomes within this population should be a priority area, studies that attempt to assess health outcomes and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in this population are limited.
Aim.
To assess HRQoL in a prison population in Greece and to explore the relationship between HRQoL and a set of individual sociodemographic and health related characteristics and characteristics of detention.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study involving 100 male prisoners was conducted in the prison of Corinth in Greece.
HRQoL was assessed through the use of the SF-36 and the EQ-5D.
Results.
The mean physical and mental summary scores of the SF-36 were 55.33 and 46.82, respectively.
The EQ-VAS mean score was 76.41%, while the EQ-5D index was 0.72.
Multivariate analysis identified a statistical relationship between HRQoL and the conditions of detention, controlling for the effect of sociodemographic characteristics, morbidity, and mental problems.
The use of narcotics in particular is significantly associated with lower HRQoL.
Conclusions.
Implementation of policies that aim at preventing the use of narcotics within the prison environment is expected to contribute to improved HRQoL in this population.
