Abstract

Correctional nursing is a specialized field of healthcare focused on providing medical care to incarcerated individuals in jails, prisons, and other correctional facilities. Nurses in this field are responsible for addressing a wide range of health issues, including chronic conditions, infectious diseases, and mental health disorders, often in resource-limited and high-stress environments. They play a crucial role in managing the physical and psychological well-being of inmates, offering care that includes routine screenings, medication administration, disease management, and mental health support. Correctional nurses must possess advanced clinical skills, particularly in managing both physical and psychiatric health, as incarcerated individuals often face complex and multifaceted health challenges.
