Summary

This study tests whether a four-week structured forensic nursing education program can improve the skills of pediatric nurses in managing forensic cases. Sixty nurses from pediatric clinics, emergency rooms, and intensive care units will be randomly assigned to either receive the training or continue as usual. Their forensic competency will be measured before, right after, and three months after the training.
