Abstract
The prison environment can be stressful for imprisoned persons. Prison health services primarily offer medication to help individuals cope with stress and other related symptoms, such as restlessness, anxiety or insomnia. Mind-body relaxation techniques can be complementary or an alternative to medication to manage stress or anxiety. We conducted an exploratory study in a post-trial facility using a mixed method approach drawing on the principles of participatory action research to assess the perceived benefits of a mind-body relaxation intervention led by nurses.
