Health Care Needs of the Sex Trafficking Patient
Get PDFCaring for and identifying a victim of sex trafficking can be very challenging at times. Sex trafficking victims often don\u27t see themselves as victims and often times are victimized by a boyfriend or relative. These patients can be non-compliant with treatments and difficult to provide follow up care. Often times the only time they are receiving medical care is when they are in the emergency department as many of these patients do not seek routine medical care through a family practioner. Forensic nurses are are able to identify potential sex trafficking victims and advocate them for their medical needs

Get PDFForensic nursing requires an understanding of the quality of research supporting practice and testimony. In this review article the levels of research quality are reviewed along with where to easily find the highest levels of research on a topic. Factors affecting quality are also discussed. 
Learning About Trauma, Online: What Works and What Is?
Get PDFTrauma-informed care guides a growing approach to practice across the field of human services and, as such, increasing efforts have been made to integrate a trauma-informed orientation into post-secondary human service programs. While most approaches to teaching trauma-education are designed for in-person instruction, online training programs are increasingly being employed. However, there are questions about the effectiveness of teaching for this particular topic online. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the impact of learning about trauma-informed practice online. Specifically, by asking “what works?” and “what is?,” the authors assessed the effectiveness of an online training program, called Being Trauma Aware, to teach about trauma-informed care and prepare post-secondary students for their field of practice. Findings reveal that Being Trauma Aware provides foundational knowledge on trauma-informed practice and develops competence and confidence in future practitioners. The training also increases students’ preparedness for the field, shifting their approach when working with children and youth. Future research can further explore whether online learning facilitates the transfer of knowledge to the field, connecting theory to practice
Traduction de la poésie mystique : le non-dit et le déjà-dit dans la note du traducteur
Get PDFLa poésie mystique persane, qui remonte au XIIIe siècle, est particulièrement riche et diverse, et sa traduction a toujours été au centre des préoccupations de nombreux traducteurs occidentaux. Ce genre de poésie, sans compter les figures de style, englobe différents aspects de l’Orient, notamment la philosophie, l’éthique, l’histoire, l’interprétation et la culture. Par conséquent, la traduction de la poésie mystique persane requiert un plus haut degré d\u27explicitation que la traduction d\u27autres genres littéraires. Parmi les procédés d’explicitation de la pratique traduisante, la note du traducteur (N.d.T.) apparaît comme le plus critiqué. Ce paratexte nourrit des polémiques qui se constituent tant autour de sa raison d’être, voire de sa nécessité, qu’autour de son économie, voire de son efficacité. La traduction française de Mantiq at-Tayr de Joseph Héliodore Garcin de Tassy (1794-1878), orientaliste et traducteur français, comporte de nombreuses notes du traducteur. Cet article tente d’étudier et d’évaluer les enjeux posés au travers de ces notes
Wellbeing and Burnout of Nurses Undergoing Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Education Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Get PDFBackground: Burnout is defined as work-related emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of personal accomplishment. Sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) may be at increased risk for burnout. Wellbeing practices protect against burnout. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the wellbeing and burnout of nurses undergoing education to become SANEs, considering the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Data were from the SANE Wellbeing Study offered in conjunction with a SANE education program. The SANE Wellbeing Survey included the Nurse Wellbeing Self-Assessment (NWSAT), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and General Self-Efficacy (GSE) scale. Backward stepwise regression was used to identify factors that predicted NWSAT wellbeing scores. Results: A total of 68 nurses participated; most were female, white/non-Hispanic, bachelor’s-prepared, and worked in non-rural settings. About two-thirds completed the SANE Wellbeing Survey prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher MBI Emotional Exhaustion and PSS scores were associated with lower wellbeing on some NWSAT domains. Working in an emergency department as their primary setting, working in a rural hospital, and lower education level were associated with lower scores on some wellbeing domains. Nurses who completed the survey during the pandemic had lower MBI Personal Accomplishment, CD-RISC, and GSE scores, and higher PSS scores. Conclusion: Nurses who self-select to become SANEs may have good baseline wellbeing and low burnout. Implications for Clinical Forensic Nursing Practice: Strategies to promote wellbeing and prevent burnout after beginning SANE practice can support a healthy SANE workforce and prevent attrition
Le corps de Keetje, malmené dans la fiction et dans sa traduction ?
Get PDFL’écrivaine belge Neel Doff (1858-1942) a rédigé toute son œuvre en français alors que ce n’était pas sa langue maternelle. Sa trilogie autobiographique met le « féminin » et le « corps » au cœur de la thématique à travers l’obscène, le traumatisme pubertaire et la prostitution.
Le corps est un « texte signifiant à déchiffrer 1 » et nous tâcherons d’en découvrir davantage en comparant l’œuvre de Doff avec ses traductions en langue néerlandaise et allemande. L’un des objectifs est de déterminer dans quelle mesure les « erreurs » de traduction, ayant trait au corps, ouvrent d’autres fenêtres d’interprétation.
Afin de mieux comprendre l’origine de ces « déviations », les extraits seront d’abord analysés selon les théories de dépaysement et domestication (Venuti, 2007) et de retraduction (Berman, 1990). Nous émettons l’hypothèse selon laquelle la vie (Delisle, 2002) et le genre (Von Flotow, 1991) de la personne qui traduit influencent les choix traductifs. Autre hypothèse, les stratégies de traduction féministe, objet de nombreuses polémiques, n’éviteraient-elles pas l’effacement que subit le corps de Keetje

The quality and rigor of each study is assessed and the level of evidence determined. This issue includes the reviews of articles assessed in meetings between summer and fall 2024.
Delphi study and qualitative analysis to establish domains, core competencies, and content in forensic nursing pedagogy: Forensic Nursing Core Competencies and Content
No full textBACKGROUND: The American Nurses Association designated forensic nursing (FN) a specialty in 1995. Nursing schools subsequently adopted Lynch\u27s theoretical framework. Inconsistent sub-specialty-focused graduate education emerged, creating difficult-to-compare early programs of study. AIMS: Update FN domains, descriptions of and context for FN practices, core competencies, and sub-competencies with content for graduate curricula, align FN with new AACN Essentials, and create a certification foundation. METHODS: Methods include the mini-Delphi design (Estimate-Talk-Estimate), with Nominal Group Techniques methods, Cognitive Task Analysis, and NVivo™ qualitative analysis of experts\u27 virtual recordings. The FN sample (N=126) included educators-clinicians, who gathered face-to-face (2002-4, 2014) and virtually (2020-22). RESULTS: The 2002-04 results informed the 2014 meeting, validating major knowledge pillars (legal foundations, forensic science, and nursing science). Analysis of 2020-2022 data named key domains, descriptions of and context for practice, core competencies, sub-competencies, concepts, and content in forensic nurse science and practice. The research included qualitative analysis of participant conversations, naming key content for each pillar. CONCLUSIONS: The 20-year Delphi study transformed knowledge integration for competent future Generalist and Advanced Forensic Nurse education and practice. The study confirmed Lynch’s thesis, three pillars of knowledge, and aligned FN core competencies with AACN Essentials and other national nursing publications, naming common practices, essential for all FNs. The study’s derivation of scientific content, important for certifications, arose from qualitative analysis of expert conversations, implying that as FN science evolves, the diverse practice roles of the FN mature with a common and basic core for application in all FN practices
