Abstract
Purpose: To identify factors influencing the intention to use mental health services by persons in custody.
Methods: Two hundred and three adult male and female persons in custody in South Korea completed a written questionnaire. Data were collected between May 1 and October 31, 2023. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression were completed.
Results: Regression analyses indicated that mental health literacy (ß = 0.20, p = 0.003), social support (ß = -0.15, p = 0.018), and the need for mental health services (ß = 0.16, p = 0.021) were significant factors contributing to intention to use mental health services (F = 11.12, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: To increase use of mental health services, it is essential to assess what persons in custody need, identify health literacy levels and tailor information as needed, and establish mental health systems that connect to social resources.
