Abstract
This synthesis examines the psychological challenges faced by nurses in correctional and forensic mental health settings. It highlights prevalent issues such as psychological distress, moral injury, and burnout, often compounded by inadequate organizational support and workplace violence. Nurses also confront unique ethical dilemmas when caring for mentally ill patients within these environments. The research collectively underscores a critical need for enhanced organizational support, specialized training, and robust psychological interventions to foster resilience and improve the well-being of these vital healthcare professionals.
