Medicolegal autopsies, completed by forensic pathologists (FPs), are a key component of many death investigations. However, there are not enough FPs in the United States to complete this work. It is estimated the United States currently has fewer than 500 FPs, whereas an estimated 1,280 are needed to fulfill the U.S. needs (Collins, 2015). At the current rate of recruitment, this gap may not close until 2046 (Collins, 2015; Weedn & Menendez, 2020). Past efforts to reduce the FP shortage through recruitment of medical students have not been successful; therefore, alternative strategies are warranted. One potential strategy is to draw from other medical fields. It is our contention that the integration of forensic nurse practitioners (NPs) in medicolegal death investigations may offer a novel, viable, and sustainable solution to the current FP workforce shortage.","PeriodicalId":51324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"254-256"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40345050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vulnerability for SA with any type of MI is unknown. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of preexisting MI and other significant factors in patients reporting preexisting MI at the time of their SA medical forensic examinations (SAMFEs).Method: A retrospective SAMFE chart review of patients ( N = 7,455) from 2010 to 2020 was conducted. Sexual assault nurse examiners completed SAMFEs. Inclusion criteria included (a) aged 14 years and older, (b) completed SAMFE with SA kit evidence collection, and (c) reported to law enforcement (restricted cases not included). Descriptive statistics and chi-square analyses were completed.Findings: It was found that 46.7% of study participants reported preexisting MI and/or current use of psychotropic medications, more than double the MI prevalence rates in the general population. MI in patients seen for SAMFE was associated with prior history of SA, medical health problems, and physical or mental impairment. In addition, patients with MI reported more violent SAs with increased anogenital and nonanogenital injuries.Discussion: The high prevalence rate of any MI in patients seen for SAMFE indicates MI in varying severity is a significant vulnerability for SA. The association of preexisting MI with a history of SA, health problems, and physical or mental impairment expands understanding of associated MI factors. These findings support the development of interventions by healthcare providers and stakeholders to address SA vulnerabilities in individuals with MI.","PeriodicalId":51324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Nursing","volume":"18 3","pages":"131-138"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/2c/ae/jfn-18-131.PMC9415228.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39831962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TBIs are often associated with a high prevalence of morbidity, mortality, and other behavioral and cognitive problems. Several studies have shown that women living with TBIs have significantly higher odds of committing criminal acts, yet the impact of TBI on incarcerated women remains an underresearched area. By contrast, the effect of TBI on men is more prevalent in current literature, particularly relating to sports-related injuries. Given that an estimate of 80% of incarcerated women are mothers, we conducted a literature review in two phases focused on TBI in incarcerated mothers. The initial search of TBI in incarcerated mothers returned no results, so we proceeded in two phases. Phase 1 searched maternal outcomes of TBI, using the terms “maternal health” and “traumatic brain injury,” whereas Phase 2 searched “traumatic brain injury” and “incarcerated women.” Because so little information is available regarding TBI in incarcerated mothers, we used what we could find in these two phases to highlight the scarcity of knowledge about this population. This brief report addresses the knowledge gap that exists for incarcerated mothers living with TBI to encourage regular TBI screening to raise awareness and advocate for accommodated care. Correctional forensic nurses are perfectly placed to do TBI screening and to provide continuous rehabilitation after release to prevent reoffending.","PeriodicalId":51324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Nursing","volume":"18 1","pages":"E18 - E25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48792239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HIV postexposure prophylaxis is an effective method in preventing HIV transmission if the treatment is administered promptly and if a full 28-day course is completed. However, research has shown that only a fraction of patients who start the treatment will complete a 28-day course. Research is needed to explore factors that may be associated with compliance to postexposure prophylaxis so that interventions can be designed to address the factors that put patients at risk for noncompletion. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted examining 246 medical records of sexually assaulted female patients who presented to one of two urban hospitals. A number of patient and event-related factors were examined to determine whether they were associated with HIV postexposure prophylaxis adherence among patients presenting at an emergency room after a sexual assault. Results Results revealed that five factors showed significant associations with sexually assaulted female patients completing HIV postexposure prophylaxis treatment. These factors include educational level, employment, health insurance, vaginal injuries, and tongue–mouth assaults. Implications for Practice The results of this study represent a starting point from which to inform the development of targeted interventions such that those most at risk for nonadherence can receive additional support or services to improve HIV postexposure prophylaxis adherence.","PeriodicalId":51324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Nursing","volume":"18 1","pages":"204 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46392528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
