The number of incarcerated persons in the United States has been increasing dramatically over the last two decades. Incarcerated men and women have increased rates of serious and chronic physical and mental illnesses and therefore require substantial health care efforts. Caring for prisoners is a difficult and often unrewarding experience for health care providers, particularly within a social climate that encourages noncaring behaviors. This article critically analyzes three philosophic stances toward nursing care with prisoners and suggests their philosophic commensurability within traditional nursing practice. Implications for nursing practice, research, and education are discussed.
在过去二十年里，美国被监禁人员的数量急剧增加。被监禁的男性和女性患有严重和慢性身心疾病的比例更高，因此需要大量的医疗保健投入。对医疗保健提供者来说，照顾囚犯是一项艰巨且往往没有回报的工作，尤其是在一个鼓励冷漠行为的社会环境中。本文批判性地分析了针对囚犯护理的三种哲学立场，并指出它们在传统护理实践中的哲学可兼容性。文中还讨论了对护理实践、研究和教育的启示。
