INVESTIGATION OF THE KNOWLEDGES AND OPINIONS OF FACULTY OF HEALTH SCIENCES FINAL YEAR STUDENTS ABOUT FORENSIC NURSING AND MIDWIFERY

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the knowledge and opinions of senior students studying at the nursing and midwifery department of Kafkas University about forensic nursing and midwifery. Material and Methods: The sample of the research, which was conducted in descriptive-cross-sectional type and in which face-to-face survey method was applied, consisted of 200 students. Data were evaluated using number and percentage calculations and chi-square significance test. Statistical significance level was accepted as p <0.05. Results: In the study, the mean age of the participants was 22.75±1.14 and it was determined that 89% of them had not experienced a forensic medical event. Of the participants, 48% stated that they had knowledge about forensic nursing/midwifery and 32.5% did not learn the roles and responsibilities of the forensic nurse/midwife. There was a statistically significant difference between the status of being educated about forensic nursing/midwifery and wanting to work, and the status of wanting the departments (p<0.05). In addition, the difference between willingness to work in forensic nursing/midwifery and gender groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: The students stated that forensic nursing/midwifery course should be given, they did not have knowledge about forensic nursing/midwifery and it should be included as a separate discipline. In order to have enough knowledge about forensic nursing/midwifery, it is necessary to provide training by experts in the form of lectures, presentations or congresses.
