这项研究调查了在联邦惩教心理健康环境中使用囚犯观察员进行自杀观察的影响。结果表明,实施囚犯观察员计划 (IOP) 后,囚犯处于自杀观察状态的平均小时数显着减少 (p = 0.036)。总体而言,被诊断为精神障碍的自杀囚犯接受自杀观察的时间明显长于其他诊断组的囚犯 (p < 0.004)。然而,在实施 IOP 后,精神病组的自杀观察平均时间显着减少 (p < 0.001)。此外,当使用囚犯观察员时,患有人格障碍的人的手表数量明显减少(p < 0.033)。初步研究结果表明,使用囚犯观察员可以缩短自杀同伴的观察时间,而不会影响护理标准。
This study examined the impact of using inmate observers for suicide watch within a federal correctional–mental health setting. Results indicate a significant decrease in the mean number of hours inmates remained on suicide watch (p .036) following the implementation of the Inmate Observer Program (IOP). Overall, suicidal inmates with a diagnosis of psychotic disorder remained on suicide watch significantly longer (p .004) than did inmates in other diagnostic groups. The psychotic group, however, had a significant decrease in mean hours on suicide watch (p .001) following the implementation of the IOP. Also, individuals with personality disorders had significantly fewer watches (p .033) when inmate observers were used. Initial findings suggest that the use of inmate observers reduces the length of time that suicidal peers remain on watch without compromising standard of care.
