Forensic mental health nursing has developed in the UK since the commissioning of Broadmoor Hospital in 1863. Little has been documented about the role until the early 1990s. There is debate over the usefulness of defining the role. It is suggested here that in order to meet the multifaceted, complex needs of the mentally disordered offender (MDO) patient group, the role of forensic mental health nurses (FMHNs) needs to be further developed, and this process is assisted by understanding its current status. This literature review examines the FMHN role in England and Wales. The literature pertinent to issues of task-orientated competence, knowledge and skills required, and desirable personal qualities that the role demands are examined. The latter of these attributes concerned with attitudes, values and morals is likely to be the most difficult to assess. Being able to isolate the composite elements of the role of FMHNs will enable the development of a competency framework, which will ensure quality assurance in contemporary health care for the thousands of FMHNs in practice and many more thousands of MDOs and other patients that the nurse has the potential to affect.
自1863年布罗德莫尔医院启用以来，法医精神健康护理在英国得到了发展。直到20世纪90年代初，关于该角色的文献记载都很少。对于定义该角色的实用性存在争议。本文认为，为了满足精神错乱罪犯（MDO）患者群体多方面、复杂的需求，法医精神健康护士（FMHN）的角色需要进一步发展，而了解其当前状况有助于这一过程。这篇文献综述考察了英格兰和威尔士地区FMHN的角色。对与任务导向能力、所需知识和技能以及该角色所要求的理想个人品质等问题相关的文献进行了研究。这些属性中与态度、价值观和道德相关的后者可能是最难评估的。能够分离出FMHN角色的构成要素将有助于制定一个能力框架，这将确保为数千名在职FMHN以及更多FMHN有可能影响的MDO和其他患者提供当代医疗保健中的质量保证。
