Prisonersare at disproportionate risk of suffering substance-related harms. The administration of naloxone is essential to reversing opioid overdose and minimizing substance-related harms in prison and the community. The purpose of this study is to examine how naloxone administration is practiced and perceived in prison settings.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The authors conducted surveys with correctional workers in Manitoba, Canada ( = 257) to examine how they understand and feel about the need for and practice of administering naloxone in their everyday work with criminalized populations.
Respondents reported feeling a great need to administer naloxone, but most did not feel adequately trained to administer naloxone, creating the perception that criminalized populations remain at enhanced risk.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Findings provide emerging evidence of the need for training and accompanying policies and procedures for correctional workers on how to access and administer naloxone.
囚犯面临不成比例的物质相关伤害风险。纳洛酮的管理对于逆转阿片类药物过量和最大限度地减少监狱和社区中的物质相关伤害至关重要。本研究旨在探讨纳洛酮在监狱环境中的管理和认知情况。
设计/方法/方法：作者对加拿大马尼托巴省的惩教工作者（ = 257）进行了调查，以了解他们如何理解和看待在日常工作中对被定罪人群进行纳洛酮管理的必要性和实践。
受访者报告说非常需要管理纳洛酮，但大多数人认为自己没有得到充分的纳洛酮管理培训，这导致人们认为被定罪的人群仍然面临更高的风险。
原创性/价值：研究结果提供了初步证据，表明需要对惩教工作者进行培训和制定相关政策和程序，以指导他们如何获取和管理纳洛酮。
