Clin Excell Nurse Pract. 1999 Sep;3(5):286-90. Unique Identifier : The purpose of this study was to investigate the process of HIV medication administration at a county correctional facility. Anecdotal data suggested serious barriers to the process. Professional and licensed practical nursing staff practicing at a New Jersey county correctional facility participated in focus group interviews designed to discuss the process of medication administration and potential barriers to that process. Analysis of data revealed five contextual themes: uniqueness of the county correctional facility setting, barriers perceived by nursing staff, inmates' perceptions of HIV infection, internal systems' barriers, and the role of systems external to the correctional facility.
