Résumé
Dans cet article, les auteurs tentent de mieux cerner la pratique de la prescription de médicaments psychotropes auprès des personnes incarcérées dans les prisons provinciales du Québec. Bien que la prescription de ces médicaments s’avère le « traitement psychiatrique » le plus utilisée, rares sont les études qui portent sur sa prévalence. L’étude porte sur un échantillon de 671 personnes détenues, soit 500 hommes et 171 femmes. Globalement, 40,3 % des incarcérés ont reçu au moins une ordonnance de médicament psychotrope dans la période comprise entre 2002 et 2007. Les résultats démontrent que les femmes sont plus susceptibles d’avoir fait usage de médicaments que les hommes. Les personnes incarcérées ayant reçu au moins une prescription sont en moyenne plus âgés que les autres. Une majorité d’ordonnances a été émise par des omnipraticiens et les cas de polypharmacie sont nombreux. Sur une période de cinq ans, la classe de médicaments la plus prescrite est celle des anxiolytiques/hypnotiques, suivie des antidépresseurs et des antipsychotiques. Les auteurs concluent qu’il faudra analyser davantage les facteurs associés à la prescription de cette classe de médicaments auprès des personnes criminalisées.
Abstract
In this article, the authors attempt to better examine the practice of prescription of psychotropic medication of inmates of Québec’s correctional facilities. Although prescription of this medication is considered the most widespread “psychiatric treatment,” studies on the prevalence of these prescriptions remain scarce. The study includes a sample of 671 inmates, 500 men and 171 women. Globally, 40,3 % of inmates have received at least one prescription for psychotropic medication in the period between 2002 and 2007. Results show that women are more likely than men to have been prescribed medication. Inmates who have received at least one prescription are older than other inmates. Most prescriptions have been given by physicians and the cases of polypharmacy are numerous. On a period of five years, the class of medication the most widely prescribed is the following: anxiety/hypnotic medication, antidepressants and antipsychotic medication. The authors conclude that further analysis of factors associated with prescription of this class of medication of this population is needed.
Resumen
En este artículo, los autores intentan delimitar mejor la práctica de prescribir medicamentos psicotrópicos a las personas encarceladas en las prisiones provinciales de Quebec. A pesar de que la prescripción de estos medicamentos es el “tratamiento psiquiátrico” más utilizado, raros son los estudios sobre la prevalencia de estas prescripciones. El estudio se realizó en una muestra de 671 personas detenidas, es decir, 500 hombres y 171 mujeres. Globalmente, a 40.3% de los encarcelados se les recetó al menos en una ocasión un medicamento psicotrópico, en el período que comprende de 2002 a 2007. Los resultados muestran que las mujeres son más susceptibles de haber utilizado estos medicamentos que los hombres. Las personas encarceladas que fueron recetadas por lo menos una vez son en promedio de mayor edad que las otras. La mayoría de las recetas fueron dadas por médicos generales y los casos de polifarmacia son comunes. En un período de cinco años, el tipo de medicamentos más recetados son los ansiolíticos/hipnóticos, seguidos de antidepresores y antipsicóticos. Los autores concluyen que habrá que analizar más a fondo los factores asociados con la prescripción de este tipo de medicamentos en las personas criminalizadas.
Resumo
Neste artigo, os autores tentam melhor compreender a prática da prescrição de medicamentos psicotrópicos às pessoas detentas nas prisões provinciais do Quebec. Apesar da prescrição destes medicamentos ser o “tratamento psiquiátrico” mais utilizado, raros são os estudos da prevalência destas prescrições. O estudo foi realizado em uma amostragem de 671 detentos, seja 500 homens e 171 mulheres. Em geral, 40,3% dos detentos receberam pelo menos uma prescrição de medicamento psicotrópico no período entre 2002 e 2007. Os resultados demonstram que as mulheres são mais susceptíveis de usar estes medicamentos que os homens. Os detentos que receberam pelo menos uma prescrição são, em média, mais idosos que os outros. Uma maioria de prescrições foram emitidas por médicos generalistas e os casos de polifarmácia são numerosos. Em um período de cinco anos, a classe de medicamentos mais prescrita é a de ansiolíticos/hipnóticos, seguida dos antidepressivos e antipsicóticos. Os autores concluem que será necessário analisar melhor os fatores associados à prescrição desta classe de medicamentos junto às pessoas criminalizadas.
