The October 2002 issue of Archives of Psychiatric Nursing reported on the design of a prison-based mental health program implemented during the mid-1990s. The aim of this program was to reduce debilitating symptoms and promote coping skills, thereby enhancing both the functional status and the clinical management of mentally ill prisoners. This article presents a qualitative study of the same program conducted in 2001-2003 and describes critical issues facing mental health providers, correctional officers, and prisoners involved in this program today. Of key interest is how subsequent developments have eroded the original focus of the program.
《精神科护理档案》2002年10月那期报道了一项20世纪90年代中期实施的基于监狱的心理健康项目的设计。该项目的目的是减轻使人衰弱的症状并提升应对技能,从而改善精神病囚犯的功能状况及临床管理。本文呈现了2001年至2003年对同一项目进行的定性研究,并描述了如今参与该项目的心理健康服务提供者、惩教人员和囚犯所面临的关键问题。关键关注点在于后续的发展如何削弱了该项目最初的重点。
