Consecuencias psicosociales de la generalización de la tortura y la represión sociopolítica en Irán
Palabras clave:
Irán, salud mental, tortura, represión, trauma, salud públicaResumen
Antecedentes: La violencia y la represión política en general pueden tener un complejo impacto psicosocial en las sociedades. Estudiar estos efectos en países con un alto grado de represión a partir de datos fiables del propio país es difícil, principalmente por el riesgo muy concreto que corre el investigador de ser perseguido. Métodos y resultados: Los autores desarrollaron una estrategia para integrar los datos disponibles en Irán, de los exiliados supervivientes y de fuentes internacionales fiables para investigar la situación en el país, donde la tortura y la ejecución se utilizan con frecuencia. Los datos sobre las violaciones de los derechos humanos, incluida la violencia contra las mujeres, la persecución de activistas políticos, hasta la tortura y ejecución de adolescentes, son indicadores de la situación sociopolítica y de una estrategia de represión generalizada en Irán en las últimas décadas. Es de esperar que todo lo anterior tenga un impacto sustancial a largo plazo en la salud mental de la población y en otros problemas sociales y económicos, y que cree una carga en la población iraní como resultado secundario de la represión. Conclusión: Aunque la salud psicosocial general de una sociedad está determinada por múltiples factores, concluimos, a partir de los escasos datos disponibles al interior de Irán, que la represión política no es el único factor, pero se puede suponer que, al menos, contribuye de manera significativa a los crecientes problemas de salud física y mental en el país, poniendo en una posición difícil a los profesionales de la salud.
