Received Date: Dec 04, 2024 / Published Date: Dec 30, 2024
Abstract
Forensic psychology in nursing is an emerging interdisciplinary field that bridges the gap between healthcare, psychology, and the legal system. Nurses working in forensic psychology are involved in the assessment, care, and treatment of individuals who have experienced or perpetrated violence, trauma, and criminal behaviour. These healthcare professionals utilize their nursing expertise alongside psychological principles to provide both clinical care and forensic evaluation. Forensic nurses may be called upon to assess mental health conditions, provide therapeutic interventions, document psychological findings, and offer expert testimony in legal proceedings. This paper explores the role of forensic psychology in nursing, its application in clinical practice, the significance of psychological assessments, and the ethical challenges faced by forensic nurses. Additionally, it reviews the intersection of nursing, psychology, and the law, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in the provision of care and justice.
