“…Quality of life Quality of life was assessed by the eightitem index European Health Interview Survey-Quality of Life (EUROHIS-QOL; Schmidt, M€ uhlan, & Power, 2006), a short measure derived from the World Health Organization-Quality of Life measures (i.e., WHOQOL-100 and the WHOQOL-BREF), which has been also been used in previous studies among prisoners (e.g., Zwemstra, Masthoff, Trompenaars, & De Vries, 2009). This scale represents quality of life in the psychological, physical, social, and environmental domains.…”

Overall, these findings are congruent with a moderate (albeit not with a strong) interpretation of the universality claim made within self-determination theory, provide initial evidence for a differentiation between deficit-based and growth-oriented interpersonal differences in need strength, and indicate that the potential moderating role of need strength deserves continued attention before any firm conclusions can be drawn.

“…Five articles reported on youth (Barendregt, Van Der Laan, Bongers, & Van Nieuwenhuizen, 2016, 2018; Van Damme, Colins, De Maeyer, Vermeiren, & Vanderplasschen, 2015; Van Damme, Hoeve, et al, 2015; Van Damme, Hoeve, Vermeiren, Vanderplasschen, & Colins, 2016) and two reported on elderly samples (Combalbert et al, 2017; De Smet et al, 2017). Three articles reported on offenders with substance use disorders (Broner, Lattimore, Cowell, & Schlenger, 2004; Metz et al, 2010; Prendergast, McCollister, & Warda, 2017), while among the 21 prisoner articles, two reported on offenders with mental health problems other than substance use disorders (Jacoby & Kozie-Peak, 1997; Zwemstra, Masthoff, Trompenaars, & De Vries, 2009) and two excluded based on this (Carcedo, Perlman, Lopez, & Orgaz, 2012; Carcedo et al, 2011).…”

“…O'Flynn, O'Regan, O'Reilly, and Kennedy (2018) also found higher QoL in all domains to be related to lower ward security, engagement in meaningful activities, and feeling therapeutically supported. However, QoL did not differ by incarceration setting when comparing prisoners in regular units with prisoners in specialized mental health units (Zwemstra et al, 2009). Trizna and Adamowski (2016) found ward security (high vs. low) to be unrelated to overall QoL.…”

“…In a sample of sex offenders, those incarcerated reported lower overall QoL than those receiving community-based treatment, although no statistical tests were conducted (Williams, 2003). Zwemstra et al (2009) reported that both prisoners with and without mental illness had higher QoL in three of four domains than non-detained psychiatric patients (physical health, psychological health, and social relationships). In addition, prisoners without mental illness reported higher QoL in all domains than those with mental illness (physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment).…”

Strength-based theories of rehabilitation emphasize the importance of opportunities for offenders to achieve “good lives” to not re-offend. The extent to which these groups feel enabled to achieve a good life may be measured through subjective, overall quality of life (QoL). The aim is to systematically review the QoL instruments used among detained offenders and synthesize the factors related to their QoL. A systematic literature review was conducted to retrieve articles that assessed the overall QoL of a sample of detained offenders using a validated instrument. The instruments’ specificity, dimensionality, and respondent and administrator burden were assessed, and factors reported as significantly related to QoL were summarized. In total, 41 articles were included in the review: 20 reported on forensic samples and 20 on prisoners, with one study randomly assigning offenders to either forensic treatment or prison. Among the included articles, 12 validated instruments were utilized. Only one instrument, the Forensic Inpatient Quality of Life Questionnaire, was specifically developed for and validated in forensic patients. Detained offending populations reported lower QoL than the general population, and those with untreated mental illness reported the lowest. The most consistent predictors of QoL longitudinally were social factors, while substance use and detention-specific variables were not consistently related. In general, the relationships between poor mental health, loneliness, and poor QoL seen in offenders are also seen among other marginalized populations. To improve the evidence base for QoL assessment in this vulnerable group, current gold standard QoL instruments should be validated in detained populations.

“…Data collected from 81 Australian male prisoners indicated that prisoners have significantly compromised psychological well-being and that coping style appears to be more salient for prisoner well-being than prison-related variables (Gullone, Jones, & Cummins, 2000). Psychopathological factors explained the major part of the known QoL variance in a sample of Dutch prisoners with mental disorders (Zwemstra, Masthoff, & Trompenaars, 2009).…”

The aim of this study was to explore the associations between resilience and quality of life and the possible mediating influence of social support. As dependent variables, we tested QoL global score and its specific components: psychosocial, psychophysical, subjective, and metaphysical. In addition, we tested global social support and its aspects-psychosocial, psychophysical, subjective, and metaphysical-as mediators. The models we constructed are acceptable and each of the predictors is significant. The study confirmed the mediating effect of social support on QoL in prisoners.
