However, incorporating nursing theory across all courses may be unfamiliar for many faculty. In this article, a senior-year elective course in forensic nursing included in a prelicensure baccalaureate curriculum with a Neuman Systems Model focus is presented. Suggested forensic nursing metaparadigm concepts, a possible schedule of topics and activities, and samples of Neuman Systems Model-based assignments are provided. This example could easily be adapted to other nursing theories and/or to other courses across the curriculum. Also emphasized is the importance of nurses providing trauma-informed care for all clients and reinforces the value of accurate evidence collection techniques and documentation. Finally, this course offers students a view of forensic nursing as a viable career choice.</p>","PeriodicalId":94079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic nursing","volume":"21 1","pages":"E1-E5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143417118","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 phenomenological study explored the impact of patients and student mental health nurses' time shared on forensic units for men carrying a personality disorder diagnosis. Phenomenology was the underpinning philosophy of this research. Patients and student mental health nurses in forensic hospitals participated in unstructured hermeneutic interviews. The time students and patients shared together was considered a gift, enabling them to feel that they were \"just people\" and valued, strongly impacting on their sense of person. The impact the students have on patients' quality of life is meaningful. When the students and patients connected, it had powerful implications for their sense of humanness and value, highlighting the reciprocal impact they each have on another and the importance of having student nurse clinical placements in forensic wards and facilities.Implications for Clinical Forensic Nursing Practice: This article offers a unique contribution to forensic practice by exploring the experiences of the time patients and students share together in forensic units. Students, who often have the greatest contact with patients, represent the present and future of nursing, and their time is appreciated by patients. Previous research focuses on attitudes and therapeutic relationships, rather than the impact of shared contact. In addition to this, patients in forensic services with personality disorder diagnoses can be the most stigmatized group in mental health care, and exploration of their experiences is lacking. These experiences must be shared.</p>","PeriodicalId":94079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic nursing","volume":" ","pages":"64-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141989832","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}

The EDFNS-P consisted of five factors, namely, identifying forensic cases, acting as a forensic nurse specialist, assisting with legal investigations, providing holistic supportive care, and protecting forensic evidence, explaining 56.49% of the total variance.
