“…These findings are related to their demographic, social and behavioral characteristics. (3,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) The low frequency of history of vaccination against hepatitis B was below the expected, considering that the implementation of a vaccination program is a goal of the PNSSP, and an international recommendation. (1,6,16) Low vaccination coverage in prisons and, therefore, the high number of individuals susceptible to infection, are common and confirm the need to ensure access to health services, education programs, and implementation of vaccination programs to prevent HBV infection in prisons.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of HBsAg marker in prisoners of the Brazilian prison system, correlating it to associated factors. Methods: An epidemiological, cross-sectional study was conducted in prison units with closed or semi-open regime (n=12), totaling 2,131 participant prisoners. Data were collected in an interview, followed by rapid testing for Hepatitis B (HBsAg). Simple, bivariate and multivariate descriptive analyses were carried out, with the use of logistic regression with the p value settled at 0.05. Results: The prevalence of positive HBsAg was 0.5%, with a statistically significant association with the variables "does not like to wear condoms" (ORa=3.63) and "does not know how to prevent sexually transmissible diseases" (ORa=5.02). Conclusion: The estimated prevalence was equal to or lower than that found in the general population of the country and the results proved that there are factors statistically associated with the prevalence of HBsAg positivity in the studied population. ResumoObjetivo: Estimar a prevalência do marcador HBsAg em internos de sistema prisional brasileiro, correlacionando-a a fatores associados. Métodos: Pesquisa epidemiológica, transversal, realizada nas unidades prisionais com regime fechado ou semiaberto (n=12), totalizando 2.131 internos participantes. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio da realização de entrevista, seguida de testagem rápida para Hepatite B (HBsAg). Foram realizadas análises descritivas simples, bivariadas e multivariadas, utilizando-se a Regressão Logística com o valor de p fixado em 0,05. Resultados: A prevalência de HBsAg positivo foi de 0,5%, com associação estatisticamente significativa com as variáveis "não gostar de utilizar preservativo" (ORa=3,63) e "não saber como prevenir infecções sexualmente transmissíveis" (ORa=5,02). Conclusão: A prevalência estimada esteve igual ou menor que a encontrada na população geral do país e comprovou-se que existem fatores estatisticamente associados à prevalência de positividade do HBsAg na população estudada.

“…Despite these challenges, she remained optimistic in the long-term value of action research to be a facilitator of change. Walsh et al (2014) used action learning for the development of an assessment tool with older adults in prison. This process involved organizing a group of prisoners, healthcare staff, and prison officers who, with the assistance of project facilitators, developed and piloted the assessment tool.…”

Given the considerable potential for participatory action research in correctional settings, this study gathered stakeholders' perspectives on involving adults in custody throughout the research process. Using mixed methods, the study identified participants' level of interest in involving prisoners in the research process to inform educational efforts to increase correctional participatory action research. Qualitative data were gathered from 94 prison administrators, Institutional Review Board throughout the Abstract section.] members, prisoner representatives, research ethicists, and correctional researchers; quantitative data were collected from 1228 correctional and noncorrectional mental health researchers, correctional and noncorrectional Institutional Review Board members, and prisoner representatives. Qualitative data revealed lack of understanding of participatory action research concepts and advantages along with disagreement about whether prisoner involvement is desirable. Quantitative data revealed that respondents were most supportive of involving incarcerated individuals in contributing ideas for future research, planning recruitment procedures, developing participant protection procedures, and disseminating information to correctional populations. Respondents least supported involving adults in custody in disseminating findings to scientific venues, designing research and protocols, interpreting data, and

“…The prison environment is recognised as a barrier to supporting older prisoners, as there remains the need to adapt the environment to support the basic needs of older prisoner's such as preventing falls (Cianciolo and Zupan, 2004). A further limitation of many prisons is the limited suitable spaces to implement initiatives for older prisoners (Cashin et al, 2008;Walsh et al, 2014). The environment is an important consideration as older prisoners often have significant difficulty in moving safely around the prison (Tucker et al, 2019).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the social needs and experiences of older prisoners who were attending one of two social initiatives in a prison in England. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on an interpretative phenomenological study, conducted in a prison in the South West of England. Older prisoners attending an initiative implemented for those over 55, a purposive activity or a social task group, participated in focus groups, which were audio recorded and thematically analysed. Findings Two overarching themes were identified. Firstly, the need to feel safe: prisoners felt attending an initiative provided them with a safe haven away from noisy and boisterous younger prisoners, who they perceived as different from them and who received preferential treatment. Secondly, being provided with a purpose: prisoners felt they belonged among their peers, which motivated them to attend and support group activities. Research limitations/implications This study was completed in one prison. However, both initiatives supported the social needs of older prisoners and enabled them to leave their cells, although they felt unsafe when not attending an initiative. Originality/value There remains a need to support the process of integrating younger and older prisoners, by the provision of both integrated and separate initiatives, with the aim of developing cross-generational and bi-directional peer support.
