Resum:	Introduction: Incarceration significantly impacts inmates health, particularly marginalized groups like transgender persons, due to systemic oppression and inadequate healthcare. This study aims to understand transgender prisoners' health management experiences. Methodology: An interpretative phenomenological approach was used. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight transgender inmates in Barcelona, Spain, and analyzed using the seven-step Colaizzi method. Results: Three primary themes emerged: (1) Navigating Vulnerability in Healthcare Dynamics, which highlighted experiences of stigma and inadequate care; (2) The Quest for Wellbeing Amidst Uncertainty, underscoring concerns regarding treatment continuity; and (3) Negotiating a Landscape of Violence, revealing experiences of harassment and discrimination. Discussion: This study highlights the need for culturally competent, person-centered healthcare policies in prisons, particularly for transgender individuals. Addressing the specific health needs of transgender inmates is crucial for enhancing their overall well-being. This emphasizes the importance of systemic reforms to improve care provision for transgender prisoners. Clinical Relevance: Prison nurses must prioritize person-centered approaches, ensure continuity of gender-affirming treatments, and provide empathetic mental health support to enhance trust and improve the overall well-being of transgender inmates.
