Background: As with many areas of the nation, Texas lacks a robust sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) workforce. A program in Texas offers courses to educate and expand SANE skills to better provide trauma-informed care to vulnerable populations. Methods: A survey to stakeholders of a SANE educational program, as part of a planned program evaluation, elicited not only barriers to providing care but also specific program needs to better expand access to sexual assault and domestic violence medical forensic examinations in Texas. Results: In January 2022, a total of 40 stakeholders, all registered nurses in the state of Texas, provided vital information on their current program. Analysis of written survey responses provided themes regarding barriers to providing SANE care and suggestions for expanded education. Discussion: The survey provided valuable feedback and comments on the perceptions of the current SANE program. Written responses offered direction for additional learning desires of SANEs associated with the program as well as areas for the program to expand to meet the needs of the learners. This stakeholder guidance has implications beyond this one SANE education program to enhance and expand other programs based on learner needs.
与全国许多地区一样，德克萨斯州缺乏强大的性侵犯护士检查官（SANE）队伍。德克萨斯州的一个项目提供课程，以教育和扩大 SANE 技能，为弱势人群提供创伤知情护理。
作为计划中的方案评估的一部分，对 SANE 教育计划的利益相关者进行了调查，不仅了解了提供护理的障碍，还了解了具体的方案需求，以更好地扩大在德克萨斯州进行性侵犯和家庭暴力法医检查的机会。
2022 年 1 月，共有 40 名利益相关者，均为德克萨斯州的注册护士，提供了其当前计划的重要信息。对书面调查答复的分析提供了有关提供 SANE 护理的障碍以及扩大教育的建议的主题。
该调查为当前 SANE 计划提供了有价值的反馈和意见。书面答复为与该计划相关的 SANEs 的其他学习需求以及该计划扩展以满足学习者需求的领域提供了方向。这种利益相关者的指导意见不仅限于这个 SANE 教育计划，还可以根据学习者的需求来增强和扩展其他计划。
