Abstract

Abstract:

Background: There is limited literature on the best strategies to prepare sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) for the intensity of providing testimony in court.

Aim: To explore the impact of a mock courtroom simulation-enhanced interprofessional experience on perceptions of comfort, confidence, and testimony ability in SANEs.

Methods: A mock courtroom simulation-enhanced interprofessional experience was developed to provide SANEs with multiple opportunities to practice critical skills related to providing expert testimony for a sexual assault criminal proceeding. Narrative feedback was gathered, exploring perceptions of confidence, comfort, and awareness of legal processes. A thematic analysis was conducted.

Results: Themes included (1) realism and practical exposure, (2) confidence and composure under pressure, (3) enhanced understanding of legal protocols and self-advocacy, and (4) long-term professional preparation.

Discussion: Exposure to multiple cases and styles of cross-examination from prosecutors and defense attorneys proved to be a valuable strategy for preparing SANEs for the rigor of providing testimony in court.

桥梁护理和正义：使用跨专业模拟模拟法庭经验的性侵犯护士审查员培训。

摘要：背景：针对出庭作证的强度，关于性侵护士审查员（SANEs）的最佳准备策略的文献有限。目的：探讨模拟法庭模拟增强的跨专业经验对SANEs的舒适度、信心和作证能力的影响。方法：开发了一个模拟法庭模拟增强的跨专业经验，为SANEs提供了多个练习关键技能的机会，这些技能与为性侵犯刑事诉讼提供专家证词有关。收集了叙述性反馈，探讨了对信心、舒适和法律程序意识的看法。进行了专题分析。结果：主题包括(1)现实主义和实践暴露；(2)压力下的自信和镇定；(3)加强对法律协议的理解和自我宣传；(4)长期的专业准备。讨论：接触来自检察官和辩护律师的多种案件和交叉询问的风格被证明是为在法庭上提供严格证词的SANEs做好准备的宝贵策略。
