This paper reports on an investigation into the skills and competencies of forensic psychiatric nurses from the perspective of three groups: (A) forensic psychiatric nurses; (B) non-forensic psychiatric nurses; and (C) other disciplines. A national survey of forensic psychiatric services in the UK was conducted, and information gathered on the perceived skills and competencies in this growing field of psychiatric practice. From 3360 questionnaires, 1172 were returned, making a response rate of 35%. The results indicate a small discrepancy between forensic nurses' and non-forensic nurses' perceptions of the role constructs of forensic practice. However, a larger difference was noted between nurses' perceptions and other disciplines' perceptions of the constituent parts to forensic psychiatric nursing. Nurses tended to focus on personal qualities both in relation to themselves and the patients, while the other disciplines focused on organizational structures both in defining the role and in the resolution of perceived deficits. The findings have implications for multidisciplinary working, as well as policy formulation and curriculum development in terms of the skills and competencies of forensic nurse training.
（A）法医精神病护理人员；（B）非法医精神病护理人员；以及（C）其他学科人员。对英国的法医精神病服务进行了一项全国性调查，并收集了关于这一不断发展的精神病学实践领域中被感知到的技能与能力的信息。在3360份问卷中，有1172份被返还，回复率为35%。结果表明，法医护士和非法医护士对法医实践角色结构的认知存在细微差异。然而，护士的认知与其他学科对法医精神病护理组成部分的认知之间存在较大差异。护士倾向于关注自身和患者的个人品质，而其他学科则在定义角色和解决感知到的不足方面关注组织结构。这些发现对多学科合作以及法医护士培训技能与能力方面的政策制定和课程开发具有启示意义。
