Consequently, there is a need to investigate how this setting may exacerbate mental distress among this community. This literature review explores how the prison climate influences the mental health of adult prisoners. A thematic synthesis approach was used to elicit data relating to the aspects of the prison climate, which influence the mental health of prisoners. Four primary themes emerged from the synthesis: social, emotional, organizational and physical aspects. Prisoners perceive the prison climate to have a negative influence upon their mental health. However, perceived positively, prison was regarded as a place of respite, which afforded structure and an opportunity to access health services. There is limited research available specifically exploring the potential impact of the prison climate upon those from black and ethnic minorities groups. Nurses must recognize the aspects of the prison environment that may impact upon the mental health of prisoners and demonstrate innovation and imagination in their application of interventions. Additionally nurses need to take an active role in influencing and structuring the political agenda, which governs the clinical setting.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpm.12231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,30]],"date-time":"2015-06-30T08:23:27Z","timestamp":1435652607000},"page":"413-422","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":92,"title":["The influence of prison climate on the mental health of adult prisoners: a literature review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Goomany","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work The University of Manchester  Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2020-6490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T.","family":"Dickinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work The University of Manchester  Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1097184X06287765"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"Barnardo's(2009)Supporting prisoners' families.
