  • Position Statement Violence Is a Public Health and Health Care Issue
    Position Statement Violence is a Public Health and Health Care Issue Statement of Problem: Violence is an international public health issue that destroys the quality of life in communities and societies worldwide [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines violence as the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person or against a group or community that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, mal-development or deprivation [2]. IAFN’s definition of violence has been expanded to include intentional and unintentional injury found in individuals who seek health care following acts of family violence, intimate partner violence (IPV), child abuse, elder abuse, rapes or sexual assaults, trafficking, youth-on-youth violence, gang warfare, terror, war, disaster, and violence in schools, workplaces and prisons [3]. Worldwide, an estimated 1.6 million people lose their lives to violence each year [2]. Additionally, violence and its sequelae result in physical and emotional injuries and/or long term stress reactions, long term and life threatening illnesses and additional risk for injury [6]. Association Position: 1) Forensic nurses have a professional and ethical responsibility to serve, advocate for and empower patients, families, and their communities [3, 7, 8]. 2) Forensic nurses organize and participate in facilitating the development of policies and procedures that foster the implementation of prevention and intervention programs in response to violence [3]. 3) Recognition of violence as a global, health care problem is the first step towards solving this critical issue. 4) Forensic nurses have the opportunity to improve the ultimate health outcomes that result from violence as forensic nurses are uniquely positioned in intersecting systems such as healthcare, community and legal environments for early identification of patients at risk of victimization or perpetration of violence [3].

  • What Should Be Documented As a Part of the SANE/SAFE Evidentiary Examination?
    Linsa E. Ledray, RN, SANE-A, PhD, FAAN Documentation: What should be documented as a part of the SANE/SAFE Evidentiary Examination? Prior to the development of SANE programs in the mid 1970’s the paperwork in the evidentiary exam kits was developed by crime laboratories with the intent of obtaining the information the criminal laboratory needed to analyze the evidence collected in the kit. Most kits also included a release of information for the patient to sign giving the hospital permission to release the evidence collected to law enforcement, who then transported the evidence to the crime laboratory for analysis. Hospital emergency staff would often complete this paperwork and provide little additional information to law enforcement, unless there were injuries requiring treatment, which only occurred in fewer than 7% of the cases across studies (Ledray, 1999; Littel, 2001). As SANE programs developed it became clear to these nurses that valuable information was being missed and that additional information should to be documented and included as a part of the evidence collection. In some states an attempt was made to include this additional information in crime laboratory paperwork provided in the evidentiary exam kit and in other areas SANE programs developed additional sexual assault exam forms that they completed and provided to law enforcement with the evidentiary exam kits. As a result there is no standard documentation and information gathered varies considerably both in content and format. This paper will address what to needs to be documented and how it should be documented. It will also discuss address the question, is it possible to document too much information? 1 Linsa E.

  • Standards of Practice for Forensic Mental Health Nursesvidentifying
    Original Article Standards of Practice for Forensic Mental Health NursesVIdentifying Contemporary Practice Trish Martin, RN, DN1,2, Tessa Maguire, RN, Grad Dip FBS1,2, Chris Quinn, RN, Grad Dip (MHN)1,3, Jo Ryan, RN, BEd1, Louise Bawden, RN, BAppSci 1, and Monica Summers, RN, Grad Dip (AdvClinNsing)1 ABSTRACT Forensic mental health nursing is a recognized field of nursing in most countries. Despite a growing body of literature describing aspects of practice, no publication has been found that captures the core knowledge, skills, and attitudes of forensic mental health nurses. One group of nurses in Australia have pooled their knowledge of relevant literature and their own clinical experience and have written standards of practice for forensic mental health nursing. This paper identifies the need for standards, provides a summary of the standards of practice for forensic mental health nurses, and concludes with how these standards can be used and can articulate to others the desired and achievable level of performance in the specialty area.

Nursing is a profession based on empathy and vocation, so as such it must adapt to modern medical and health knowledge. The development of the professional identity of nursing is a continuous process that begins with the acquisition of formal education in biomedicine, and continues to develop further through a professional career in a dynamic process in which there is an interaction of education and practical skills that ultimately leads to personal and professional growth and development.
