People experiencing incarceration in the United States receive much of their health care outside of custodial settings. Optimizing care in this setting requires further understanding of the training and experiences of noncustodial health care workers. We conducted a cross-sectional, exploratory survey of health care workers at a single academic institution to assess their training and experiences related to caring for this patient population. Of 333 respondents, 94.1% had cared for patients experiencing incarceration but only 22.5% had received any formal training, with 94.6% somewhat or very interested in further training. Common challenges included lack of privacy, difficulty obtaining patient history or completing an examination, and patient distress. Health care workers frequently experience challenges and report strong interest in further training to address knowledge gaps, and further detailed investigation is needed.

对照顾被监禁患者的非监禁卫生保健工作者进行培训：初步调查。

在美国被监禁的人在拘留环境之外获得大部分医疗保健。在这种情况下优化护理需要进一步了解非监护卫生保健工作者的培训和经验。我们对一家学术机构的医护人员进行了一项横断面的探索性调查，以评估他们与照顾该患者群体相关的培训和经验。在 333 名受访者中，94.1% 的人曾照顾过被监禁的患者，但只有 22.5% 的人接受过任何正式培训，94.6% 的人对进一步培训有些兴趣或非常感兴趣。常见的挑战包括缺乏隐私、难以获取患者病史或完成检查以及患者痛苦。卫生保健工作者经常遇到挑战，并表示对进一步培训以解决知识差距有浓厚的兴趣，并且需要进一步的详细调查。
