Abstract

Background: Human trafficking (HT) is a serious public health issue. Survivors of HT seek medical care. Health care professionals may be inadequately trained to identify and support survivors. This study evaluated improvements in nurses' knowledge after a professional development workshop on HT.

Method: Pre- and postevaluation surveys assessed nurses' self-reported changes in perceived knowledge of HT and its vulnerability factors, the health impact of HT, strategies for identification and assessment of HT, and response to and follow-up of HT.

Results: After the workshop, participants showed significant improvement in perceived knowledge of all measures, regardless of hours of previous training and years of practice.

Conclusion: Perceived knowledge of HT identification and response can be improved through training of nurses, regardless of hours of previous training and years of practice. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(1):26-32.].

护理专业人员人口贩运教育干预的评估。

背景：人口贩运是一个严重的公共卫生问题。HT幸存者寻求医疗护理。卫生保健专业人员可能没有得到足够的培训来识别和支持幸存者。本研究评估了护士在HT专业发展研讨会后知识的改善情况。方法：评估前和评估后调查评估了护士自我报告的HT感知知识及其脆弱因素的变化、HT对健康的影响、识别和评估HT的策略以及对HT的反应和随访。结果：研讨会结束后，参与者对所有措施的感知知识都有了显著的提高，无论之前的培训时间和实践年限如何。结论：通过对护士的培训，无论之前的培训时间和实践年限如何，都可以提高对HT识别和应对的感知知识。[J Contin Educ Nurs.202x；5x（x）：xx xx.]。
