abstract="Incarcerated women are at high risk of exposure to traumatic events with subsequent development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study builds on  prior research by adding new findings from Spain on the association between  childhood and prison victimization, and negative emotional states with PTSD symptoms  during incarceration among women. The study sample (N = 174) included female prison  inmates enrolled from two prisons located in Southeast Spain. Participants completed  self-report questionnaires including demographic and criminal variables, childhood  and prison victimization (including emotional, physical and sexual victimization),  negative emotional states (including depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms) and  PTSD symptoms. Logistic regression analysis revealed that women screening positive  for trauma had significantly greater odds for the assortment of childhood  victimization, prison victimization (specifically physical victimization) and  depression, anxiety, and stress. Current findings suggest a need to include these  construct assessments in the screening and identification of PTSD among incarcerated  women in Spain.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
