Demographic Profile, Level of Stress and Factors Affecting the Stress Level of Selected
Inmates at Cavite Provincial Jail. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in

The main objective of the study was to determine the stress level of selected inmates in
Cavite Provincial Jail (CPJ). Specifically, the study aimed to; (l) know the demographic profile of
selected inmates in CPJ in terms of their age, sex, civil status and their length of stay; (2)
determine the e level of stress among inmates in CPJ in terms of Environmental and Emotional
factors; and (3) identify if there is significant relationship between the demographic profile and
stress level of selected inmates in CPJ.
The study was conducted at the City of Trece Martires, Cavite. Participants of the study
were inmates of Cavite Provincial Jail who were selected through purposive sampling technique
which a survey questionnaire was utilized as research instrument. The questionnaire served as
the basis to determine the stress level of inmates in terms of environmental and emotional
stress factors. Descriptive research method was used in this study.
Result shows that the stress level of the inmates in Cavite Provincial Jail is high, and
their stress level is contributed by different environmental (climate, ventilation, facilities, and
insects) and emotional factors (guilt, loneliness, moving away from home).
Moreover, based on the results of the study it shows that there is a significant relationship
between the demographic profile of the inmates and their stress level in terms of age, and
length of stay. The older inmates appeared 10 have higher stress level compared to the younger
inmates in terms of environmental stress. This conclusion supports the statement of Carolyn
Aldwin (1991) that elderly individuals are widely perceived to have less self-control over their
environment than other adults, and this lack of perceived control should have adverse effects on
how they cope with stress. On the other hand, in terms of length of stay the inmates who have
stayed in the jail in a short period of time experiences higher level of stress compared to the
inmates that have stayed longer in the jail, this supports the Stress Appraisal Theory of Folkman
and Lazarus in 1984, which refers to the process by which individuals evaluate and 0,cope with
a stressful event.
Therefore, as possible solutions, Cavite Provincial Jail are suggested to have their
psychological section in their office that will focus not only on mentally ill or disturbed inmates,
but also those inmates that are experiencing stress, it is suggested that they involve stress
management programs in the rehabilitation that is suitable to the inmates and will extent to the
mitigation and relieving their stress.
