abstract="PURPOSE: The purpose of this survey was to investigate emergency department nurses' recognition of forensics nursing and their educational needs for forensics nursing education. <br><br>METHODS: Data were collected via questionnaires from 167 emergency department nurses who were working in 7 university hospitals. Nurses' experiences of trauma or accidents and their recognition of and educational needs for forensic nursing education were assessed. <br><br>RESULTS: All subjects reported having suffered bodily injury due to falling or serious traffic accidents; 92.2% reported having suffered bodily injury caused by suicide attempts; 91.6% reported having experienced physical violence or abuse; 76.0% reported having experienced sexual assault or abuse; 68.9% reported having experienced some difficulties during their nursing care due to lack of forensics knowledge; and 88.6% reported never having been trained in forensics nursing. The educational needs score for &quot;forensics nursing&quot; was 3.61; the needs score for &quot;abuse- and violence-related education&quot; was 3.65; the needs score for &quot;incident data collection related education&quot; was 3.47; and the needs score for &quot;forensics theory related education&quot; was 3.34. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The findings of the study underscore a strong need to develop an educational program on forensics nursing for emergency department nurses. © 2012 Korean Society of Adult Nursing.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
