Integrating Forensic Nursing Principles in an Undergraduate Curriculum: A Longitudinal Cohort Study.
Background: Forensic nursing (FN) is a health care specialty encompassing components of forensic science, which is used to provide care for patients who are victims of abuse. FN principles should be incorporated in nursing curricula to prepare nurses to care for victims of abuse.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the integration of FN principles in a nursing curriculum and the impact on students' knowledge and confidence to improve the care for patients who have experienced potentially traumatic events.
Methods: A single cohort of undergraduate nursing students attended a lecture each semester on a topic relevant to FN. The students completed a knowledge-based pre and posttest in this longitudinal study.
Results: Percentages of knowledge-based questions answered correctly from pre to posttest indicated improvement in knowledge and self-reported confidence in communicating with patients with histories of trauma.
Conclusion: The introduction of FN principles in nursing education is needed to improve health care outcomes and to support and empower victims who have experienced trauma or abuse.
