Forensic nurses are faced with unique challenges in their attempt to deliver nursing care in a custodial environment. * The impact of such challenges on the cultural dynamic of forensic nursing and consequently on healthcare delivery is largely unknown. * The aim of this ethnographic study was to explore the nursing culture within an Australian prison hospital and the migration of the culture over a 12-month period. * At the end of the study, the nursing culture was found to be one of hope, although with no clearly articulated vision of nurse-hood or patient-hood and model within which to practice nursing. * The ability to articulate practice is central to the development of mental health nursing in any context.

法医护士在试图在羁押环境中提供护理时面临着独特的挑战。这些挑战对法医护理的文化动态以及医疗保健服务的提供产生的影响在很大程度上是未知的。本民族志研究的目的是探索澳大利亚监狱医院内的护理文化以及文化在 12 个月期间的迁移。研究结束时，护理文化被发现是充满希望的，但对护理人员和患者的角色以及实践护理的模式没有明确的认识。明确阐述实践是任何环境中精神健康护理发展的核心。
