There have been no systematic analyses of the factors that influence the development of psychological well-being in women sentenced to prison. This study identified relationships among life events, coping resources, and psychological well-being (indicated by the absence of anxiety and depression). A descriptive correlational design was used in a convenience sample of 62 incarcerated female offenders. The respondents were in their early 30s, single, unemployed, and receiving financial support from a variety of sources. They reported an average of 10 life events in the 12 months preceding incarceration and accumulated an average of 354 life change units. A positive correlation between the number of life events and depression was identified (r = .24, p < .05). The women in this study had high levels of depression as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (L. Radloff, 1977; M = 31) and anxiety as measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (C. D. Spielberger, 1983; M = 46). Nursing interventions to reduce psychological distress at the time of admission to a correctional facility may reduce feelings of loss, inadequacy, and powerlessness that the women might otherwise have to endure.

“…life events leading to other life events, and therefore spurious additive weightings may give false high scores (5). Depressed subjects may over-report events "in search for the meaning" and normal subjects may under-report events (5) and lastly their test retest (6) and inter-rater reliability (7) are doubtful.…”

Life events occurring before and after onset of depression in a Kenyan setting ‐ any significance?

In a controlled study of life events in depressed patients in Kenya it was found that the rate of life events was higher in the depressed group in the 27 weeks preceding the onset of depression but with a sharp increase in the last 6-9 weeks before onset. It was also found that the depressed patients continued to experience independent life events after the onset of the depression. It is hypothesized that the continued occurrence of life events after the onset of depression is an incentive to seek help and, eventually, a psychiatric referral.

“…The issue of recall of life-events remains contentious (Byme & Whyte, 1980) and though the focus of this paper is not on life-events per se, they comprise an important part of the data, and this issue needs to be addressed prior to a discussion of later data analyses. Time since life-event occurrence influences the accuracy of recall, though the magnitude of this is not great (Paykel, 1980) and the problem would seem to lie with the inability to recall trivial, distant events rather than important or recent ones (Mendels & Weinstein, 1972). Thus, while the present life-events data may represent a recalled subset of the total life-event experience the evidence would suggest that this subset represents a very substantial part of the total.…”

The Type A behaviour pattern as a precursor to stressful life‐events: A confluence of coronary risks

Both the Type A Behaviour Pattern (TABP) and the presence of stressful life-events have been independently established as precursors to the onset of coronary heart disease (CHD). The thematic character of the TABP suggests, however, that the two phenomena might be linked, to the extent that features of the TABP may place an individual in social, occupational and personal circumstances which enhance the probability of encountering stressful life-events. Evidence from survivors of clinical CHD gives some support to this idea. The present study extends the hypothesis to a large sample of healthy males, screened for CHD risk factors. These results, too, support the idea that the TABP and encounters with stressful life-events are not entirely independent phenomena. Associations between the TABP and a range of measures of life-events were most evident in the occupational aspects of the latter, though not exclusively so. The data do point to the need, in future epidemiological studies of CHD risk, to treat the TABP and stressful life-events as related measures of CHD risk.
