项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The purpose of this application is to provide research and training for the applicant’s long-term goals of addressing incarceration as a social determinant of health (SDOH), and improve the model of care in justice settings for incarcerated older adults and lay the foundations for a career in research. The population of incarcerated older adults is rapidly growing.1–4 The number of incarcerated adults aged 55 and older increased by 400% between 1993 and 2013.3 By 2030 older adults are anticipated to constitute two thirds of the incarcerated population.5 Incarceration is associated with a myriad of physical and mental health risks (e.g. HIV, diabetes, hypertension, depression, chronic stress1,6–10).1,7,11–15 Incarceration is also associated with accelerated aging,16–18 which leads to generally accepting incarcerated adults as geriatric at 50, compared to 65 in the community.2 Incarceration has also been recognized as an SDOH19,20, which is aligned with The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) priority research lenses in the 2020-2026 Strategic Plan.21 Correctional health, as a model of care, has unique features which challenge appropriately responding to age related changes in incarcerated older adults, specifically related to functional or behavioral changes.9,22–27 Correctional officers (COs) are integral in the daily operations of prisons and have the most contact with incarcerated people. Beyond maintaining the security of prisons, COs are also liaisons between incarcerated people and correctional nurses, often playing a major role in alerting correctional nurses to changes in a person’s condition, including functional and behavioral changes.28–33 The proposed study would use Grounded Theory, a theory-generating methodology34–37, to explore how COs perceive and respond to age related changes in incarcerated older adults, including when, how and with what consequences COs collaborate with correctional nurses. Currently, no conceptual model describes the care of incarcerated older adults or the role that COs play in their care. Grounded Theory is well-suited to explore this under-studied topic area because conceptual models can be used to inform policy, practice, future research interventions to improve outcomes for this growing vulnerable population.34,36 The training grant will support coursework, directed study, mentorship, and resources to accomplish the short-term goal exploring how COs perceive and respond to age related changes in incarcerated older adults, including when, how and with what consequences COs collaborate with correctional nurses. Supported by content and methodological experts, the applicant’s proposed training plan includes targeted training goals to expand skills in Grounded Theory application, and knowledge of incarceration as an SDOH, aging and the care of incarcerated older adults, collaboration between justice settings and academia, and networking, grant-writing, and dissemination. Informed by the NINR Strategic Plan, the proposed training and research approaches incarceration as an SDOH, as a mechanism to improve the model of care in justice settings and the care of incarcerated older adults.

项目摘要/摘要本申请的目的是为应用程序的长期目标提供研究和培训将监禁作为健康的社会决定者（SDOH），并改善司法的护理模式继承的老年人的设置，并为研究职业奠定基础。人口被监禁的老年人迅速增长。1-455岁及以上的遗传成年人人数 1993年至2013年之间，到2030年，老年人将增加400％ 5监禁与无数的身心健康风险有关（例如 HIV，糖尿病，高血压，抑郁，慢性应激1,6-10）。1,7,11-15也与监禁有关加速衰老，16-18 65在社区中。2监禁也被认为是SDOH19,20，它与美国国家护理研究所（NINR）优先研究镜头在2020 - 2026年战略计划中。21 作为护理模型，惩教健康具有独特的功能，可挑战适当响应与年龄相关的老年人的变化，特别与功能或行为有关更改。9,22-27个惩教人员（COS）在监狱的日常行动中不可或缺，并且拥有最多的与继承的人接触。除了维持监狱的安全外，cos还与被监禁的人和矫正护士，经常在提醒纠正护士的情况下发挥重要作用一个人状况的变化，包括功能和行为变化。28-33拟议的研究将使用扎根理论，一种生成理论的方法论34-37，探索COS的感知和对年龄的反应继承的老年人的相关变化，包括何时，如何和如何影响cos 与纠正护士合作。目前，没有概念模型描述了继承的旧模型成人或CO在护理中扮演的角色。扎根的理论非常适合探索这个研究不足的话题区域是因为概念模型可用于为政策，实践，未来的研究干预提供信息这一日益增长的脆弱人群的成果改善。34,36培训赠款将支持课程工作，有指导的研究，指导和资源来实现短期目标，以探讨COS的感知和响应与年龄相关的老年人的变化，包括何时，如何和如何影响 COS与纠正护士合作。在内容和方法论专家的支持下，申请人的拟议的培训计划包括针对性的培训目标，以扩大基础理论应用中的技能，以及了解进化为SDOH，衰老和进化老年人的照顾，合作在正义环境和学术界之间，以及网络，赠款写作和传播之间。被告知尼尔战略计划，拟议的培训和研究方法作为SDOH，作为一种改善正义环境中护理模型和继承老年人的护理模型的机制。
