This paper reports on an investigation into the skills and competencies of forensic learning disability nurses in the United Kingdom. The two sample populations were forensic learning disability nurses from the high, medium, and low secure psychiatric services and non-forensic learning disability nurses from generic services. An information gathering schedule was used to collect the data; of 1200 schedules, 643 were returned for a response rate of 53.5%. The data identified the "top ten" problems that forensic learning disability nurses may encounter, the skills and competencies necessary to overcome them, and the areas that need to be developed in the future. The results indicated that the forensic learning disability nurses tended to focus on the physical aspects to the role whilst the non-forensic learning disability nurses tended to perceive the forensic role in relational terms. This has implications for practice, policy, and procedures.
本文报告了一项关于英国法医学习障碍护士技能和能力的调查。两个样本人群分别是来自高度、中度和低度安全精神病服务的法医学习障碍护士,以及来自普通服务的非法医学习障碍护士。使用信息收集表收集数据;在 1200 份表中,有 643 份被退回,回应率为 53.5%。数据确定了法医学习障碍护士可能遇到的“十大”问题、克服这些问题所需的技能和能力,以及未来需要发展的领域。结果表明,法医学习障碍护士倾向于关注角色的身体方面,而非法医学习障碍护士则倾向于从关系角度看待法医角色。这对实践、政策和程序都有影响。
