THE EFFECT OF TRAINING ON THE KNOWLEDGE LEVEL OF EMERGENCY NURSES ON COLLECTING, KEEPING AND TRANSFERRING BIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE IN FORENSIC CASES
Öz
This study was carried out to determine the effect of training on the knowledge level of emergency nurses on collecting, keeping, and transferring biological evidence in forensic cases. The research was designed in a single group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental model. The sample group of this study consisted of 61 nurses working at the emergency service in a training and research hospital in one of the metropolitan cities of Turkey. While the mean score obtained from the questionnaire administrated to nurses before training (pre-test) was 57.81 ± 16.70, the mean score achieved after training (post-test) was 85.56 ± 12.34. When comparing the mean scores of nurses before and after the forensic nursing training, a statistically significant difference was found. It was concluded that the training on collecting, keeping, and transferring biological evidence had a positive effect on the knowledge level of emergency nurses. Therefore, it can be suggested that such in-service training programs should be organized so that emergency nurses can manage forensic cases properly.
