Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the student's awareness of the forensic nurse's role and needs for forensic nursing education. This is to provide basic data in order to develop the forensic nursing education program. Methods: The questionnaire was done by 355 nursing students at 12 different nursing colleges from March 1 to April 30, 2013. To analyze the data, the SPSS 18.0 program was used and ANOVA was carried out to see the differences of cognition concerning the need of schooling and the forensic nurse's role. Results: There was significant difference on the intention of participation in forensic nursing education according to the recognized forensic nurse's role (p=.010). There was no significant difference on the needs of the education, but there were increased educational demands when awareness of the forensic nurse's role was the higher group ($3.44{\pm}0.16$) rather than the lower group ($3.33{\pm}0.22$). Conclusion: This study demonstrated the nursing student's needs concerning forensic nursing education. Therefore, we suggest the development of a forensic nursing curriculum.
