Forensic Nursing emerges as a new nursing practice, combining scientific and technical nursing knowledge with Forensic Science principles.
To evaluate the level of knowledge about the Forensic Nursing Practices in the 4th year students of the Nursing Degree.
A cross sectional analysis study conducted with a sample of 240 students. The Knowledge Questionnaire over Forensics Nursing Practices (KQFNP) was applied in a survey.
The level of knowledge of the students of the 4th year of the Degree in Nursing was good (52.1%), sufficient (21.3%) and insufficient (26.7%), according with scale scored defined, with the existence of deficits essentially at the level of crucial aspects of the preservation of vestiges.
The evidence emphasizes the need of investment in the training of the students over forensic nursing practices. So, basic knowledge of forensic nursing is a critical concept to be included in core curriculum of a four-year nursing degree program.
