With increase in the number of female prisoners, it seems necessary to follow up the conditions of pregnant women in prison in order to identify their needs and provide healthcare and social services to improve their health accordingly. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted to examine the needs of incarcerated pregnant women.
In this systematic review, we searched the databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochran Library. All studies including cross-sectional, retrospective, and prospective cohorts as well as case series, which addressed the needs and expectations of incarcerated pregnant women, were included in this review. Two reviewers independently evaluated the retrieved articles, the discrepancies were discussed, and a consensus was achieved.
31 eligible studies consisting of 5435 incarcerated pregnant women were included in the review. The needs of incarcerated pregnant women comprised six general categories: healthcare needs including prenatal, labor, delivery, and postpartum services; educational needs on pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting; the support needs to be provided by government agencies, social workers, and doula services; the need for psychological counseling services; nutritional needs during pregnancy; and the needs related to the substance abuse management.
The needs of incarcerated pregnant women included healthcare, educational, supportive, counseling, and nutritional needs as well as those related to the substance abuse management. Identifying these needs can be useful in developing accurate and appropriate policies and programs to promote the health status of this vulnerable group.
随着女性囚犯人数的增加，似乎有必要关注监狱中孕妇的状况，以了解她们的需求，并提供医疗保健和社会服务，从而改善她们的健康状况。因此，我们进行了系统评价，以研究被监禁孕妇的需求。
在本次系统评价中，我们检索了包括 PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、EMBASE、PsycINFO 和 Cochrane 图书馆在内的数据库。本综述纳入了所有研究，包括横断面研究、回顾性研究、前瞻性队列研究以及病例系列研究，这些研究均探讨了被监禁孕妇的需求和期望。两位评审员独立评估检索到的文章，如有分歧则进行讨论并达成共识。
本综述纳入了 31 项符合条件的研究，共包含 5435 名被监禁孕妇。被监禁孕妇的需求包括六个一般类别：包括产前、分娩和产后服务在内的医疗保健需求；关于怀孕、分娩和育儿的教育需求；政府机构、社会工作者和导乐服务提供的支持需求；心理咨询服务的需求；怀孕期间的营养需求；以及与药物滥用管理相关的需求。
被监禁孕妇的需求包括医疗保健、教育、支持、咨询和营养需求以及与药物滥用管理相关的需求。确定这些需求有助于制定准确和适当的政策和方案，以促进这一弱势群体的健康状况。
