During the COVID-19 pandemic, rates of SAFEs were lower in many hospitals and rebounded in the months following the initial shutdown. However, no examinations of changes in SAFEs five years postpandemic in the United States (U.S.) have been published to our knowledge.Aim: To evaluate SAFE rates in a Southeastern hospital in a state that enacted limitations for a brief period during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: SAFE rates were descriptively examined for the four years before and following COVID restrictions.Results: One hundred eight more SAFEs were performed in the four years pre-COVID restrictions (Total SAFEs March 2016-February 2020 = 851; mean annual SAFEs = 212.75) compared with the four years post-COVID-19 restrictions (total SAFEs March 2021 to February 2025 = 743; mean annual SAFEs = 185.75). Results from analyses stratified by sex assigned at birth indicated that annual SAFEs among survivors assigned female sex at birth were lower during the four years post-COVID-19 (mean annual SAFEs March 2021 to February 2025=176.5) compared with the four years pre-COVID-19 (mean annual SAFEs March 2016 to February 2020=199.5). Annual SAFEs among survivors assigned male sex at birth were also lower during the four years post-COVID-19. However, there was a small sample of male survivors with high annual variability across all time periods, limiting the interpretation of these results.Discussion: Observing fewer SAFEs indicates potential changes in help-seeking following SA in our community. Multisite research studies are needed to better understand trends in SAFE utilization in the U.S.","PeriodicalId":94079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148922101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected using a personal information form and an attitude scale for health care professionals towards forensic psychiatric patients. As part of the intervention, a three-hour forum theater-based educational programme was implemented. Pretest and posttest scores were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results: After the forum theater intervention, a statistically significant increase was observed in participants' total attitude scores (p < 0.001). While significant increases were found in the Social Distance and Dangerousness subscale scores (p < 0.05), no significant changes were observed in the Willingness to Provide Care and Trust subscales (p > 0.05).Discussion: Forum theater is an effective educational method for reducing stigmatising attitudes towards forensic psychiatric patients among nursing students, and for promoting more accepting attitudes. From a public health nursing perspective, such experiential and participatory educational approaches are considered to be a significant means of combatting stigma within community-based mental health services.","PeriodicalId":94079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148883028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case study examines a school-aged child who arrived at a Level I trauma center following a reported accidental drowning. Despite prompt resuscitative efforts, the child was pronounced deceased. While no external trauma was noted, scattered nonblanching petechiae on the face, eyelids, and conjunctiva raised concerns. Toxicology results were negative, and no forensic nursing consultation was initiated. The child's death was classified as accidental without autopsy findings to substantiate or challenge that conclusion. Forensic pathology literature identifies isolated conjunctival petechiae as a potential indicator of asphyxial death, including strangulation, suggesting a missed opportunity for forensic assessment. This case highlights the essential role of forensic nurses in identifying subtle signs of violence. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary forensic awareness and early forensic consultation in pediatric deaths to ensure comprehensive evaluation and safeguard medicolegal integrity.","PeriodicalId":94079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148364579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
