This study reports on research undertaken to identify the skills and competencies of forensic psychiatric nurses working in secure psychiatric services in the UK. The rationale for this research is the lack of clarity in the role definition of nurses working in these environments and the specific content that may underscore the curriculum for training forensic nurses. Over 3300 questionnaires were distributed to forensic psychiatric nurses, non-forensic psychiatric nurses and other disciplines and information obtained on (1) the perceived clinical problems that give forensic nurses the most difficulty; (2) the skills best suited to overcome those problems; and (3) the priority aspects of clinical nursing care that needs to be developed. A 35% response rate was obtained with 1019 forensic psychiatric nurses, 110 non-forensic psychiatric nurses and 43 other disciplines. The results highlighted a 'top ten' list of main problems with possible solutions and main areas for development. The conclusions drawn include a focus on skills and competencies regarding the management of personality disorders and the management of violence and aggression.
本研究报告了为确定在英国安全精神病服务机构工作的法医精神病护士的技能和能力而开展的研究。开展这项研究的理由是，在这些环境中工作的护士的角色定义不明确，以及可能构成法医护士培训课程基础的具体内容。超过3300份问卷被分发给法医精神病护士、非法医精神病护士和其他学科人员，并获取了以下方面的信息：（1）被认为给法医护士带来最大困难的临床问题；（2）最适合克服这些问题的技能；（3）需要发展的临床护理的优先方面。获得了35%的回复率，其中包括1019名法医精神病护士、110名非法医精神病护士和43名其他学科人员的回复。结果突出了可能的解决方案的“十大”主要问题以及主要发展领域。得出的结论包括关注人格障碍管理以及暴力和攻击行为管理方面的技能和能力。
