Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Aboriginal) people are overrepresented in Australian prisons, where they experience complex health needs. A model of care was designed to respond to the broad needs of the Aboriginal prisoner population within the nine adult prisons across South Australia. The purpose of this paper is to describe the methods and findings of the Model of Care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Prisoner Health and Wellbeing for South Australia.
METHODS: The project used a qualitative mixed-method approach, including a rapid review of relevant literature, stakeholder consultations and key stakeholder workshop. The project was overseen by a Stakeholder Reference Group, which met monthly to ensure that the specific needs of project partners, stakeholders and Aboriginal communities were appropriately incorporated into the planning and management of the project and to facilitate access to relevant information and key informants.
RESULTS: The model of care for Aboriginal prisoner health and wellbeing is designed to be holistic, person-centred and underpinned by the provision of culturally appropriate care. It recognises that Aboriginal prisoners are members of communities both inside and outside of prison. It notes the unique needs of remanded and sentenced prisoners and differing needs by gender.
CONCLUSIONS: Supporting the health and wellbeing of Indigenous prison populations can improve health outcomes, community health and reduce recidivism.
CONCLUSIONS: Only one other model of care for Aboriginal prisoner health exists in Australia, an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation-initiated in-reach model of care in one prison in one jurisdiction. The South Australian model of care presents principles that are applicable across all jurisdictions and provides a framework that could be adapted to support Indigenous peoples in diverse prison settings.

目标:澳大利亚监狱中的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民(原住民)人数过多,他们经历复杂的健康需求。设计了一种护理模式,以满足南澳大利亚州9所成人监狱中原住民囚犯的广泛需求。本文的目的是描述南澳大利亚原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民健康与福祉护理模型的方法和发现。
方法:该项目使用定性混合方法,包括相关文献的快速回顾,利益相关者协商和关键利益相关者研讨会。该项目由利益相关者参考小组监督,每月满足,以确保项目合作伙伴的特定需求,利益攸关方和土著社区被适当纳入项目的规划和管理,并促进获取相关信息和关键线人。

结论:支持土著监狱人口的健康和福祉可以改善健康状况,社区健康,减少累犯。
结论:澳大利亚仅存在另一种针对原住民囚犯健康的护理模式,土著社区控制健康组织在一个司法管辖区的一个监狱中发起的触达护理模式。南澳大利亚州的护理模式提出了适用于所有司法管辖区的原则,并提供了一个可以调整的框架,以支持不同监狱环境中的土著人民。
