Health Education Needs of Incarcerated Women
Purpose: This study identifies the healthcare education needs of incarcerated women in a state corrections facility.
Methods: This was a naturalistic qualitative study. Focus groups included two groups of adult women incarcerated in a state corrections facility. One group consisted of women housed in maximum security, and one group consisted of women housed in medium security. Data were analyzed using a constant comparison approach.
Findings: Three guiding questions provided the foundation for the identified themes. Themes included six healthcare education topics important to incarcerated women and three related to health education strategies best suited for incarcerated women.
Conclusions: Trust, respect and empowerment are key concepts in educating incarcerated women about their personal health and health of their families.
Clinical Relevance: With over 200,000 women incarcerated in the United States today, creating policies and practices that focus on the healthcare education needs of women that are woman focused may enhance knowledge andskills and may ultimately lead to reduced recidivism.
