Sexual assault is prevalent in the Unites States. Many areas of the country lack access to sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs), especially in rural areas. The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration Advanced Nursing Education-Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner educational grant provided an opportunity to improve equity and reduce disparity in rural and underserved communities by offering education and simulation experiences in the care of sexual assault patients. Through the Texas A&M Health Center of Excellence in Forensic Nursing, Texas A&M University College of Nursing developed an innovative program using simulated medical forensic examinations and mock testimony education. Rapid cycle quality improvement was utilized to adapt quickly to feedback and meet overarching goals. This article describes development and adaptation of the program using rapid cycle quality improvement processes and progress in recruitment, retention, and certification of nurses to provide sexual assault care in rural and underserved areas of Texas.
性侵犯在美国很普遍。该国许多地区缺乏性侵犯护士检查人员（SANEs），尤其是在农村地区。美国卫生资源和服务管理局高级护理教育-性侵犯护士检查人员教育补助金提供了一个机会，通过提供性侵犯患者护理方面的教育和模拟经验，为农村和服务不足社区提供公平并减少差距。通过德克萨斯 A&M 法医护理卓越中心，德克萨斯 A&M 大学护理学院开发了一个创新性计划，使用模拟医疗法医检查和模拟证词教育。快速循环质量改进被用于快速适应反馈并实现总体目标。本文介绍了使用快速循环质量改进流程开发和调整该计划的情况，以及在德克萨斯州农村和服务不足地区招聘、保留和认证护士以提供性侵犯护理方面的进展。
