Abstract
Sexual assault forensic nursing is a specialized field of nursing that blends healthcare, forensic science, and law enforcement to provide comprehensive care to victims of sexual violence. Sexual assault forensic nurses (SAFNs) are trained to handle the physical, psychological, and legal aspects of care for sexual assault survivors, offering not only immediate medical attention but also expert evidence collection that can be crucial in criminal investigations. This article explores the role of sexual assault forensic nurses, the training and skills required to excel in the field, and the importance of a trauma-informed approach to care. It also discusses the intersection of healthcare and the legal system, emphasizing the critical role that SAFNs play in promoting justice and healing for survivors of sexual violence
