Abstract

This article advocates for integrating procedural justice principles into forensic mental health services to enhance patient engagement and autonomy. Procedural justice, broadly defined as fair decision-making processes, is introduced and key principles including voice, neutrality, respect and trustworthiness are described. Evidence suggestive of positive outcomes following procedural justice experiences, such as improved satisfaction, collaboration and reduced perceptions of coercion is outlined. Practical applications are suggested, including staff training and reflective practices using procedural justice principles. The article then calls for further research to explore patients' and staff members' experiences of procedural justice in forensic settings, develop measurement tools, undertake intervention studies and establish causal links between procedural justice and outcomes important for forensic patients.

程序正义与法医心理健康:导论和未来方向。
本文主张将程序正义原则纳入法医心理健康服务,以提高患者的参与度和自主权。引入了程序正义,广义上定义为公平的决策过程,并描述了包括发言权、中立性、尊重和可信度在内的关键原则。概述了程序正义经历后产生积极结果的证据,如满意度提高、协作和对胁迫的认知减少。提出了实际应用,包括工作人员培训和采用程序正义原则的反思做法。文章呼吁进一步研究,探索患者和工作人员在法医环境中的程序正义经历,开发衡量工具,进行干预研究,并建立程序正义与对法医患者重要的结果之间的因果关系。
