“…Prison healthcare professionals and correctional officers do not have the right nor the obligation to make decisions on prisoners' health. Community healthcare professionals may need to highlight the need of prisons' patients to receive ethically appropriate care just like non-incarcerated patients [18,19]. However, the principle of equal opportunity between prisoners and free people to access the good of health on one hand encounters obstacles in the demands of security; on the other hand, it comes into contradiction with the practice of detention which produces suffering and illness itself.…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: In the prison environment, the nursing profession has particularly complex peculiarities and aspects, so much so that prison nurses require advanced specialist skills and specific education. Can nurses’ stereotypes and prejudices in prison settings affect nursing care? What are nurses’ perceptions of the prison environment and people in detention? This study aims, on one hand, to outline the figure of the nurse in the prison environment and current regulations and, on the other hand, to explore whether and how stereotypes and prejudices may affect the way care is provided. Methods: Starting with an analysis of the literature, the authors administered a questionnaire to a group of nurses who shared data and reflections. Results: This study sheds a new light on nursing in the prison environment, exploring how nurses’ stereotypes and prejudices may affect the care of patients. Conclusions: It would be desirable to develop research in this field to enable a more conscious approach to a world that is still considered distant and dangerous, and to overcome the misperceptions and prejudices that may negatively affect the way of caring.
