    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Public Health
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Primary health care nurses manage numerous clients in limited time, leading to potential care dissatisfaction.
    • Identifying high-risk clients is crucial for efficient resource allocation and improved patient outcomes.
    • Existing screening methods may not adequately address the unique challenges in primary care settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a general procedure for identifying at-risk individuals in primary health care.
    • To illustrate this procedure using incarcerated women as a specific client population.
    • To lay the groundwork for developing targeted screening tools for diverse populations.

    Main Methods:

    • A general risk assessment procedure was developed for primary health care settings.

  • The procedure was applied to a sample population of incarcerated women.
  • Key risk factors were identified through analysis of social, situational, and psychological indicators.

    • Main Results:

    • Social characteristics (e.g., education), situational factors (e.g., sentence length), and psychological distress indicators (e.g., depression) were significant in risk assessment.
    • These factors provide a basis for developing specific screening tools.
    • The findings highlight the multifaceted nature of risk in this population.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic approach to risk identification can enhance primary health care delivery.
    • Screening tools based on identified factors can help nurses prioritize care for high-risk clients.
    • Further development of these tools could improve both nurse and client satisfaction in primary health care settings.
