Despite the high percentage of incarcerated persons with mental illness, surprisingly little is known about effective ways to increase psychotropic medication adherence in prison and upon release. Currently, there are limited definitive data regarding psychotropic medication adherence patterns among incarcerated persons, and the data that exist often miss specific information on changes in behaviour, symptom management and adherence patterns over the length of a person's sentence, which has implications for post-release ability to live in the community. This paper presents the current literature regarding psychotropic medication adherence among mentally ill persons who are incarcerated. The factors identified in support of medication adherence, future clinical research and care strategies are provided.
尽管患有精神疾病的囚犯比例很高，但令人惊讶的是，人们对如何在监狱中和出狱后提高精神药物的依从性知之甚少。目前，关于囚犯精神药物依从性模式的数据有限，而且现有的数据往往缺乏关于一个人在整个刑期内行为、症状管理和依从性模式变化的具体信息，这对出狱后在社区生活的能力有影响。本文介绍了目前关于被监禁的精神病患者精神药物依从性的文献。提供了支持药物依从性的因素、未来的临床研究和护理策略。
