Abstract
Abstract: Pregnancy resulting from abuse is a public health concern that millions of persons will experience in their lifetimes. Access to professional and safe reproductive healthcare, including sex education, contraception, and abortion, is essential to protecting the rights of persons to control their reproductive health. Currently, access to safe and timely reproductive healthcare is at particular peril. Affirming a patient's right to choose or, advocating autonomy in healthcare decisions is a key component of trauma-informed care. It is the position of the International Association of Forensic Nurses that access to, and autonomy in decision making about reproductive healthcare, including safe and legal contraception and abortion, is a basic human right.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Forensic Nursing (JFN) the official journal of the International Association of Forensic Nurses, is a groundbreaking publication that addresses health care issues that transcend health and legal systems by articulating nursing’s response to violence. The journal features empirical studies, review and theoretical articles, methodological and concept papers, and case reports that address the provision of care to victims and perpetrators of violence, trauma, and abuse. Topics include interpersonal violence (sexual assault, abuse, intimate partner violence); death investigation; legal and ethical issues; forensic mental health nursing; correctional nursing; and emergency and trauma nursing.
