Analyzing The Effectiveness Of Having Health Centers And Medical Staff (Nursing And Paramedics) Within Prisons In Assessing Medical Cases And Their Response (The Review of Diabetic Studies, 2025)
The study will assess the success of the implementation of health centers and medical personnel such as doctors and nurses within prisons to enhance the quality of health care given to the criminals especially in relation to medical case assessment and response mechanisms. This matter is significant due to the specific nature of the prison setting, where rapid and accurate health practices are demanded, as the mobility is limited, and the possibility of disease outbreak is the highest, not to mention the fact that there are emergency medical cases, which demand immediate attention. The research used the descriptive analytical method and a questionnaire was implemented which was designed to measure the degree of effectiveness in various fields such as medical assessment processes, staff efficiency, equipment and supply availability, response to emergency cases and the level of coordination between the medical and administrative staffs. The sample study consisted of (200) participants who are doctors and nurses working within the prison with the objective of finding detailed and realistic information that expresses the extent of services rendered. These findings revealed that the availability of health centers within prisons does play a useful role to enhance the speed of health issues response, and that the effectiveness of medical personnel is a key aspect to the quality of services. Nonetheless, the findings indicated shortcomings in certain areas, including inadequate supply of certain medical supplies, absence of specialized skills among some employees in handling emergency cases and the necessity to establish a process of referral between the prison and other hospitals. The research finds that there is a need to enhance the health infrastructure in the prisons by equipping the centers with the advanced equipment, enhancing the doctors and nurses training programs as well as creating proper guidelines on how to handle emergency cases. It also suggests turning on continuous monitoring and evaluation systems in order to enhance the quality of healthcare and to guarantee the safety of inmates.
