Abstract

The transgender population experiences disproportionate rates of sexual assault (SA) compared with the cisgender population. Sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) have specialized education to provide care to victims of SA across the lifespan; however, training related to the care of transgender individuals following sexual assault is not always represented in SANE education. This leads to a lack of knowledge and confidence in providing care to transgender victims and can result in inequitable care and poor outcomes. To explore forensic nurses' knowledge and confidence in the care of the transgender population following SA, a descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was employed and distributed to two professional forensic nursing organizations. A total of 240 survey responses were received. The majority of participants reported that content related to transgender sexual assault (TGSA) was not part of their SA education. Nearly 60% perceived their knowledge and confidence in providing TGSA care as "beginner" or "developing" and almost all "agree" or "strongly agree" that additional TGSA education would be beneficial to them. As over half of participants have provided care to a TGSA patient and more than 80% expect to provide care in the future, it is imperative include standardized content related to TGSA care as part of core SANE curriculum and to offer continuing education to address the gap in current SANE TGSA knowledge and practice.

性侵犯法医在为性侵犯后的变性患者提供护理方面的知识和信心。

变性人遭受性侵犯（SA）的比例与顺性别人群相比过高。性侵犯护士检查员（SANE）接受过专业教育，能够为整个生命周期的性侵犯受害者提供护理；然而，在 SANE 教育中，与性侵犯后变性人护理相关的培训并不总能体现出来。这导致变性受害者在提供护理时缺乏知识和信心，并可能导致不公平的护理和不良后果。为了探究法医护士对性侵犯后变性人群的护理知识和信心，我们采用了描述性横断面调查设计，并将其分发给两个专业法医护理组织。共收到 240 份调查回复。大多数参与者表示，变性人性侵犯（TGSA）相关内容并非其 SA 教育的一部分。近 60% 的参与者认为他们在提供 TGSA 护理方面的知识和信心为 "初学者 "或 "发展中"，几乎所有参与者都 "同意 "或 "非常同意 "额外的 TGSA 教育对他们有益。由于半数以上的参与者曾为 TGSA 患者提供过护理，80% 以上的参与者预计将来会提供护理，因此必须将与 TGSA 护理相关的标准化内容作为 SANE 核心课程的一部分，并提供继续教育，以解决目前 SANE 在 TGSA 知识和实践方面的差距。

With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods.

Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
