Abstract

Acute respiratory infection or ARI is a disease that is generally suffered by prisoners in prison. The crowded and unsuitable prison environment causes many prisoners to suffer from ARI. Health education programs in prisons are still relatively small, so prisoners' awareness of respiratory health is still very low. Provides an overview of the importance of health education to prevent ARI in prison prisoners. This research method uses literature review techniques to synthesize publications. This literature review method applies the principles of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) which aims to identify scientific sources from previous research literature. This literature source search process was carried out in November 2023 on the ScienceDirect, Scopus and PubMed databases. 10 international journals and articles were obtained through searching with the keywords "Health Education", "Acute Respiratory Infections" and "Prisoner". Health education programs need to be provided in prisons to increase prisoners' awareness of the risks of ARI. Empirical evidence-based education regarding the dangers of bacteria, viruses and germs in prisons needs to be provided to prisoners so that they can improve their personal hygiene practices and protect themselves. Prisons also need to provide health consultation services and implement smoke-free policies to reduce the risk of ARI. Apart from that, waste management in prisons also needs to be considered to prevent the transmission of respiratory diseases. Health education programs for prisoners are urgently needed. This program must be followed by a good waste management policy and a smoke-free policy in prisons, so that the transmission of ARI can be reduced. Prisons need to create health education programs and implement these programs so that prisoners' knowledge about health can increase.
