State Prison Mental Heath Services Recipients Perception of Care Survey

Despite the high percentage of incarcerated persons with mental illness, surprisingly little is known about effective ways to increase psychotropic medication adherence in prison and upon release. Currently, there are limited definitive data regarding psychotropic medication adherence patterns among incarcerated persons, and the data that exist often miss specific information on changes in behaviour, symptom management and adherence patterns over the length of a person's sentence, which has implications for post-release ability to live in the community. This paper presents the current literature regarding psychotropic medication adherence among mentally ill persons who are incarcerated. The factors identified in support of medication adherence, future clinical research and care strategies are provided.

“…The prison mental health population in many ways could be considered analogous to our sample population. There are little data on consumer satisfaction of psychiatric services in prison; however, one New York study demonstrated that 79% of responders agreed that they were satisfied (Way et al 2007). A general prison health services satisfaction survey carried out in Norway demonstrated high levels of dissatisfaction, with those who identified as having poorer physical and mental health being less satisfied with their care (Bjorngaard et al 2009).…”

Despite many people being forensically hospitalized worldwide, there is limited research reporting on their views of the care they receive. To describe consumer satisfaction and areas for improvement, we utilized our forensic psychiatric hospital's consumer survey. Eleven years of surveys, including a total of 541 surveys, were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The majority of the forensic inpatients believed that their views were valued in their care and treatment. Most felt physically and emotionally safe at the hospital and believed that staff knew how to support them in times of distress. The majority felt that their culture and spirituality were respected. However, some areas for improvement were also noted, such as regarding staff attitudes. This consumer survey demonstrated a reasonably high level of satisfaction with forensic inpatient care, over the course of eleven years, despite this population of people being subject to lengthy hospitalisations. Satisfaction surveys of people in forensic inpatient units can be a regular part of forensic care and can help guide improvements in their care.

“…Research shows that more communication and better relationships with staff results in greater consumer satisfaction (Duggins & Shaw, 2006), and that a consumer-provider treatment alliance is crucial for successful outcomes (Berk, Berk, & Castle, 2004). Results of a collaborative consumer-provider relationship could include better psychotropic medication compliance (Kilbourne et al, 2006), less cost-related skipping of medication regimens (Wilson, Rogers, Chang, & Safran, 2005), and higher clinician ratings of quality of life outcomes (Way, Sawyer, Kahkejian, Moffitt, & Lilly, 2007).…”

This quasi-experimental study evaluated consumer outcomes (i.e., consumer satisfaction, medication compliance, psychosocial improvement, and healthcare cost outcomes) among 119 participants with various mental disorders receiving comprehensive mental health treatment over an 8-month period. Pre-test and post-test outcomes were measured between two groups: those receiving care that entailed ongoing case collaboration between managed care organization and community mental health agency staff (treatment group) and those enrolled in unmanaged traditional fee-for-service Medicaid programs (control group). Results indicated that, for the control group, medication compliance worsened, and group case management and psychiatric follow-up service costs increased. For the treatment group, medication costs increased. These findings suggested that the case collaboration approach may have had an indirect and preventive benefit related to medication compliance and cost reduction. Recommendations for counselor practice, advocacy, and interprofessional mental health care are provided.

State Prison Mental Heath Services Recipients Perception of Care Survey

Abstract: Random samples were requested, but likely only a convenience sample was obtained. However, the positive results suggest the need to strive to enhance patient quality of care ratings.
