Pregnant incarcerated women have been identified as a particularly high-risk group and among the most vulnerable women in the United States. The use of shackling or restraints poses health risks to pregnant women and their fetuses. Currently, only 22 states have legislation prohibiting or limiting the shackling of pregnant women. Here we provide an overview of the potential negative health outcomes that can result from shackling pregnant women, especially during labor and birth, and suggest strategies for nurses who wish to promote optimal health care for incarcerated women and to advocate for anti-shackling legislation in their states.
怀孕的被监禁妇女被认定为一个特别高危的群体，是美国最脆弱的女性之一。使用脚镣或约束措施会给孕妇及其胎儿带来健康风险。目前，只有22个州有立法禁止或限制对孕妇使用脚镣。在此，我们概述了束缚孕妇，尤其是在分娩期间可能导致的潜在负面健康后果，并为希望为被监禁妇女提供最佳医疗护理以及在其所在州倡导反束缚立法的护士们提供策略建议。
