La Enfermería ha experimentado grandes transformaciones y es evidente pensar que la Enfermería penitenciaria no ha sido ajena a estos cambios. La Enfermería penitenciaria tiene una realidad muy compleja, dado su pasado histórico, junto con el tipo de institución donde se desarrolla la actividad profesional y su estricto régimen interno que limita la actividad enfermera independiente frente a un desarrollo mayoritariamente de actividades colaborativas. El desempeño de la actividad enfermera autónomo en instituciones penitenciarias es escaso, difícil de aplicar, poco valorado e incluso incomprendido. Sin embargo, aunque la institución penitenciaria no facilite el desarrollo profesional de los/as enfermeros/as, la labor enfermera penitenciaria poco a poco ha ido asumiendo nuevos proyectos, retos, más responsabilidades y más autonomía. El presente manuscrito tiene como objetivo dar a conocer la figura de la Enfermería penitenciaria y su desarrollo profesional dentro del entorno laboral donde se lleva a cabo su trabajo, dadas sus particularidades.
Nursing has experienced major transformations, and it would be obvious to think that Penitentiary Nursing has also been subject to these changes. The reality of Penitentiary Nursing is very complex, given its historic past within the type of institution where this professional activity is conducted, and its strict internal regimen which limits an independent nursing activity vs. the main development of collaborative activities. Conducting an independent nursing activity in penitentiary institutions is rare, difficult to implement, not really appreciated, and even misunderstood. However, even though the penitentiary institution does not encourage the professional development of nurses, Penitentiary Nursing has gradually taken on new projects and challenges, more responsibilities and higher independence. The objective of the present manuscript is to introduce the role of Penitentiary Nursing and its professional development within the occupational setting where this work is conducted, given its distinctive features.
