“…In the United Kingdom (UK) and other Western countries, around 20% of inpatients in secure mental health settings are over 50 years old [1]. This percentage is likely to increase as people live longer and the older population proportion grows [2][3][4]. It is important to investigate the needs, experiences, and outcomes of these older forensic patients.…”

Background It is important to investigate the needs, experiences, and outcomes of older forensic mental health inpatients. In this consensus document, we offer practitioners working with older forensic inpatients recommendations to meet the unique older-age-related needs of this group. Method We report on the findings of a scoping review of service provision and age-responsive interventions for this population. We complement this with a review of qualitative studies investigating staff and patient views on age-responsive inpatient care. Results The guidance synthesizes this evidence into sections on: epidemiological studies of demographic, clinical, and legal profiles; qualitative studies; investigations of patient need; evidence for interventions tailored to this patient group; future directions for research; and finally, recommendations for practice. Forensic patients over the age of 50 years have a different set of psychological and physical health needs from their peers. There is a dearth of dedicated interventions and support to assist patients through secure services and into the community. Conclusions We suggest service providers involve older patients in treatment and service organization decisions, adapt interventions to be responsive to this group, train staff to recognize physical vulnerabilities and cognitive decline, and embrace methods of communication developed in other areas of care, such as dementia Care.

Bedeutet mehr Geld, mehr Sex und mehr Freund*innen gleich mehr »Lebensqualität«? Stellt man diese Frage psychisch kranken Straftätern, die über zehn, zwanzig oder dreißig Jahre in einer geschlossenen Einrichtung verbringen, geraten gängige »Mehr-ist-besser«-Vorstellungen schnell an Ihre Grenzen. Als fruchtbare Alternative entwickelt Martin Feißt einen systemtheoretischen Ansatz im Anschluss an Gregory Bateson, Fritz B. Simon und Aaron Antonovsky, der die (in)stabilen Selbst- und Weltverhältnisse in den Blick nimmt. Lebensqualität ist nun vielmehr eine Frage des Kohärenzgefühls - eine Position, die Wissenschaftler*innen, Praktiker*innen und Interessierte gleichermaßen »fürs Leben« lernen lässt.
