With the increasing number of women prisoners under 45 years of age, identifying the reproductive health needs of these marginalized women has become crucial for providing healthcare and improving their well-being. This systematic review aims to determine the reproductive health needs of incarcerated women in developed countries.
In this systematic review, four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) were searched until January 2023. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Qualitative studies were analyzed using thematic synthesis.
Seventeen studies were selected and analyzed narratively. The reproductive health needs of incarcerated women were classified into four main categories: preventive care, medical care, childbearing care, and health-promoting services. Key needs included appropriate screening tests, infection control practices, medical and psychological services, pregnancy-related care, parenting services, family planning, hygiene, nutrition, and health education.
This study highlights the need for tailored reproductive healthcare for incarcerated women. An all-inclusive strategy involving various stakeholders is required to improve the health status of these vulnerable women.
随着45岁以下女性囚犯数量的增加，确定这些边缘化女性的生殖健康需求对于提供医疗保健和改善她们的福祉至关重要。本系统评价旨在确定发达国家被监禁女性的生殖健康需求。
在本系统评价中，检索了四个电子数据库（PubMed、Scopus、科学网和谷歌学术），直至2023年1月。使用混合方法评估工具评估纳入研究的方法学质量。定性研究采用主题综合分析法进行分析。
选择了17项研究并进行叙述性分析。被监禁女性的生殖健康需求分为四大类：预防保健、医疗保健、生育保健和健康促进服务。关键需求包括适当的筛查测试、感染控制措施、医疗和心理服务、与妊娠相关的护理、育儿服务、计划生育、卫生、营养和健康教育。
本研究强调了为被监禁女性提供量身定制的生殖保健的必要性。需要一项涉及各利益相关方的全面战略来改善这些弱势女性的健康状况。
