Abstract

People deprived of liberty have a worse quality of mental health compared to the general population, with the most prevalent mental disorders being anxiety and depression, with higher prevalence in the female population. However, there are few studies that exclusively address the female incarcerated population, exploring associated factors; in addition, mixed studies sometimes do not bring data broken down by gender. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of anxiety and depression in incarcerated women, and associated factors. This is an integrative review conducted in the BDENF, IBECS, LILACS and Medline databases, accessed via the VHL, in addition to SciELO. The inclusion criteria were articles in Portuguese or English, with a cross-sectional design, with prevalence of anxiety and/or depression in women deprived of liberty aged 18 years or more, published between 2015 and 2020. The title, abstract and manuscript as a whole were read for selection. 157 articles were identified, 11 remaining after the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There was a high prevalence of depressive and anxiety disorders, with factors associated with living, incarceration and health conditions. Knowledge of the factors associated with the two most prevalent mental disorders is essential so that the Primary Health Care teams can expand and qualify the services offered, in order to ensure comprehensive care.
