An evaluation of health care of prisoners at selected institutions : a nursing perspectiveSontyale, Ulungile Klaas January 2005 (has links)
Thesis (MCur) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A non-experimental descriptive study was conducted in four prisons in the
Western Cape. The research focussed on the standard of care within primary
health care settings in the purposively selected prisons. No official written
standards existed to measure the quality of care. After an in-depth literature
study, structure, process and outcome standards were formulated and validated.
The main findings of the study indicated that:
• Standards in these three dimensions of care did not meet the pre-set level
of performance as determined by the researcher;
• The clients were generally satisfied with the hygiene in the clinics;
• Aspects of concern were the lack of explanation offered to the clients
before and after consultations and nursing care interventions.
The researcher recommends the implementation of a comprehensive quality
care model for the health care of the prisoners with adequate human and nonhuman
resources
Core words: Qualtiy care, Correctional services health care, Nursing care in
prisons. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: "n Nie-eksperimentele beskrywende studie is in vier gevangenisse in die Wes-
Kaap uitgevoer. Die navorsing het gefokus op die gehalte van sorg binne
primere gesondheidsorgomgewings in die doelbewuste geselekteerde
omgewings. Geen amptelike geskrewe standaarde om die gehalte van sorg te
meet, het bestaan nie. Na 'n in-diepte literatuurstudie is struktuur-, proses- en
uitkomsstandaarde geformuleer en gevalideer.
Die belangrikste bevindings van die studie het aangedui dat:
• Standaarde in hierdie drie dimensies van sorg het nie aan die
voorafbepaalde vlak van sorg voldoen het nie soos deur die navorser
bepaal is;
• Die kliente was oor die algemeen tevrede met die higiene in die klinieke;
• Kommerwekkende aspekte het ingesluit die gebrek aan voldoende
verduidelikings aan kliente voor en na konsultasies en
verpleegintervensies.
Die navorser bevel aan dat In omvattende gehalteversekeringsmodel vir die
gesondheidsorg van gevangenes ingestel word met voldoende beskikbare mensen
ander hulpbronne.
Kernwoorde: Gehaltesorg, Korrektiewe dienste gesondheidsorg, Verpleegsorg

Exploring the experiences of adult offenders living with HIV on pre-antiretroviral therapy program at the Losperfontein Correctional CentreLekubu, Gloria Stephinah Sebaetseng 10 1900 (has links)
Text in English / The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of adult offenders living with HIV (OLWHIV) not qualifying for antiretroviral therapy (ART). Such offenders are put on the pre-antiretroviral therapy (pre-ART) program after HIV diagnosis. Follow up of OLWHIV is done every six months to ensure prompt treatment. Research objectives include exploration of experiences of OLWHIV on the pre-ART program, the accessibility of the program and the challenges thereof. An exploratory, qualitative study with face-to-face interviews was conducted. Purposive sampling of the eight participants was done to conduct the study.
Seven out of eight participants accessed the pre-ART program well but had little knowledge of the pre-ART program. Furthermore, participants experienced little support from partners and health care workers. The study showed institutional constraints such as poor diet, shortage of staff and humiliation from Correctional officers. Participants portrayed commitment in the support group irrespective of the challenges experienced. The study further showed that the self-care theory could enhance the pre-ART program but that institutional constraints deterred the progress. Participants made recommendations such as strengthening of partnerships for support groups, good diet, and an increase of staff capacity. Overall study recommendations include implementation of universal test and treat and mixed methods for future studies. / Sociology / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)

Super maksimum gevangenissePretorius, Alta 05 1900 (has links)
Summaries in Afrikaans and English / A prisoner who's behaviour is causing a security risk
for his fellow prisoners, has to be separated from
the rest of the prison population. His aggressive
and violent attitude as well as his rejection of
authority will lead to his incarceration at a super.
maximum institution.
The purpose of this thesis is to give a theoretical
explanation on super maximum imprisonment. Aspects
as prison architecture, the handling of the super
maximum prisoner, the purpose and function of a super
maximum prison and unit management as a form of
prison management are observed. The subject is
explained from a penological perspective. / Gevangenes wie se optrede 'n sekuriteits-risiko vir

Hul aggressiewe en gewelddadige optrede, asook hul
verwerping van gesag veroorsaak dat hul na 'n super
maksimum gevangenis verwys word, waar hul slegs vir
die minimum voorregte kwalifiseer.
Met hierdie proefskrif word daar gepoog om 'n teoretiese
uiteensetting ten opsigte van die super maksimum
gevangenis te verleen. Aspekte wat onder andere
die aandag geniet is gevangenisargitektuur, die hantering
van die super maksimum gevangene binne inrigtingsverband,
die doel en funksie van 'n super maksimum
gevangenis en eenheidsbestuur as mees geskikte
bestuursvorm. Die doel word vanuit 'n bepaalde oogpunt
nagestreef, naamlik die penologiese perspektief. / Penology / D. Litt. et Phil.(Penology)

Harm reduction in state prisonsMoshoeu, Gomolemo Noreen 01 1900 (has links)
Risk taking behaviours such as drug use, sexual activities and tattooing are prevalent in the correctional institutions, including those in South Africa. Such behaviours pose a serious challenge as regards health care of inmates. In particular, these behaviours contribute to the transmission of HIV/AIDS which results in morbidity and mortality. Harm reduction components are employed as effective measure to curb the spread of the pandemic. These components are lauded owing to their considerable impact.
They consist of needle exchange programmes, substitution therapy, condom provision and education. Various developing (Morocco, Brazil and Egypt) and developed (Scotland and Canada) countries make use of such components to address risk taking behaviours in correctional institutions. Although condom provision and education have been implemented by the South African Department of Correctional Services in state institutions, there is an urgent need to enhance the efforts.
This study investigates the extent of risk taking behaviours amongst inmates at the Leeuwkop Correctional Centre. It also determines the level of knowledge of inmates and staff regarding HIV/AIDS. The researcher employed a qualitative form of methodology, collecting data by means of a structured questionnaire. The data was coded and analysed by means of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The findings reveal that the risk taking behaviours are prevalent at the Leeuwkop Correctional Centre. Furthermore, the analysis of the knowledge items regarding HIV/AIDS indicates that there are certain deficits that require attention. They are also notable differences in the primary sources of HIV information for inmates and staff. It was found that a dire need exists to enhance and expand current harm reduction initiatives in correctional institutions in order to offer health care services that are compliant with international conventions such as the Dublin Declaration on HIV/AIDS as well as the South African Constitution. Reluctance to do so is tantamount to housing inmates in „de facto‟ death chambers. Hence the augmentation of such initiatives is strongly recommended. / Penology / D. Litt. et Phil. (Penology)
