Social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) is a term used to refer to the state of an individual's overall wellbeing. This review aims to consider the importance of understanding and assessing SEWB in prisoner populations, and identify potentially important differences between groups of prisoners, including those who identify as from minority cultural backgrounds (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander in Australia), protective custody prisoners, remand prisoners, prisoners identified with an intellectual disability, and prisoners with an acquired brain injury.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The paper is a general review of the published literature, with a specific focus on work conducted with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia.
Eight domains of SEWB are identified across which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners, along with those in protection units, remandees, and prisoners with intellectual disabilities or acquired brain injuries are likely to experience particularly low levels of functioning. Few programs have been developed to address these needs, although attending to low levels of SEWB has the potential to make a positive contribution to prisoner health, prison management, and offender rehabilitation.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Relatively little literature has considered this topic previously and, as a result, the paper is necessarily descriptive. Nonetheless, issues of SEWB appear to warrant further consideration, particularly in relation to those prisoners who identify with minority cultural groups.
社会和情感幸福（SEWB）是一个用于指代个人整体幸福状态的术语。本综述旨在探讨理解和评估囚犯群体中SEWB的重要性，并确定不同囚犯群体之间可能存在的重要差异，包括那些认同少数文化背景的囚犯（澳大利亚的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民）、保护性拘留囚犯、还押候审囚犯、被认定为智力残疾的囚犯以及获得性脑损伤囚犯。
设计/方法/途径：本文是对已发表文献的综合综述，特别关注在澳大利亚与原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民社区开展的工作。
确定了SEWB的八个领域，在这些领域中，原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民囚犯以及保护单位中的囚犯、还押候审人员、智力残疾或获得性脑损伤囚犯的功能水平可能特别低。尽管关注低水平的SEWB有可能对囚犯健康、监狱管理和罪犯改造做出积极贡献，但针对这些需求制定的项目很少。
原创性/价值：以前相对较少的文献考虑过这个主题，因此，本文必然具有描述性。尽管如此，SEWB问题似乎值得进一步探讨，特别是与那些认同少数文化群体的囚犯相关的问题。
