Prison is a restricted living space where detained individuals are located, where environmental conditions and the people with whom they will interact are determined by an external source, where communication and interaction with the outside world is severely limited, and therefore health problems, personal problems and diseases may occur in detained individuals. Forensic psychiatric nurses working in prisons are health professionals who generally work with individuals who have a low socioeconomic level, neglect their own health care, have a history of alcohol or substance use disorders, may have mental disorders or aggressive behavior, and cannot receive support even from their own family. In prison conditions, the health of detained individuals may not be considered a priority. However, it should not be forgotten that meeting this need is a human right. In addition, an appropriate treatment program must be initiated immediately in order to reintegrate detained individuals, especially individuals with mental disorders, who will return to society after their release. In our country, the job responsibilities of prison nursing are defined under the umbrella of Public Health Nursing. However, the literature review shows that the majority of individuals in prisons are more likely to have a mental disorder than a physical illness. For this reason, it is very valuable to assign psychiatric nurses in prisons in order to provide holistic care to detained individuals. As in the world, there are limited studies on psychiatric nursing in prisons in Turkish literature. For this reason, this literature was discussed in order to raise awareness about the roles and responsibilities of forensic psychiatric nurses in prison, in line with the relevant literature.

CEZAEVİNDE ADLİ PSİKİYATRİ HEMŞİRESİNİN ROL VE SORUMLULUKLARI

Öz

Cezaevi, tutuklu bireylerin bulunduğu, çevresel koşulların ve etkileşim kurulacak insanların dışsal bir kaynak tarafından belirlendiği, dış dünyayla iletişim ve etkileşimin ciddi oranda sınırlandırıldığı ve bu nedenle tutuklu bireylerde sağlık sorunları, kişisel problem ve hastalıkların görülebildiği kısıtlanmış bir yaşam alanıdır. Cezaevinde çalışan adli psikiyatri hemşireleri ise, genelde sosyoekonomik düzeyi düşük olan, kendi sağlık bakımını ihmal eden, alkol veya madde kullanım bozukluğu öyküsü olan, ruhsal bozukluklara ya da saldırgan davranışlara sahip olabilen ve kendi ailesinden bile destek göremeyen bireyler ile çalışan sağlık profesyonelleridir. Cezaevi koşullarında tutuklu bireylerin sağlığı öncelikli olarak görülmeyebilir. Ancak unutulmamalıdır ki bu gereksinimin karşılanması bir insan hakkıdır. Ayrıca, tahliye edildikten sonra topluma dönecek olan tutuklu bireyleri, özellikle ruhsal bozukluğa sahip bireyleri, yeniden topluma kazandırmak adına ivedilikle uygun bir tedavi programının başlatılması gerekir. Ülkemizde, cezaevi hemşireliğinin görev sorumlulukları Halk Sağlığı Hemşireliği çatısı altında tanımlanmıştır. Fakat, yapılan literatür taraması göstermektedir ki, cezaevlerinde bulunan bireylerin büyük çoğunluğunda fiziksel hastalıklara kıyasla ruhsal bir bozukluk görülme olasılığı daha yüksektir. Bu nedenle, tutuklu bireylere bütüncül bir bakım sunabilmek adına cezaevlerinde özellikle psikiyatri hemşirelerinin görevlendirilmesi oldukça değerlidir. Dünya’da olduğu gibi Türkiye literatüründe de cezaevinde psikiyatri hemşireliği alanındaki çalışmalar sınırlı sayıdadır. Bu nedenle bu alanyazın, cezaevinde adli psikiyatri hemşiresinin rol ve sorumlulukları konusunda ilgili literatür bilgisi doğrultusunda farkındalık oluşturmak amacıyla ele alınmıştır.
