Area of Science:

  • Forensic Nursing
  • Public Health
  • Violence Prevention

Background:

  • Interpersonal violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue in the US, impacting numerous women and incurring substantial healthcare costs.
  • Current forensic nursing practice primarily focuses on evidence collection and acute care for violence victims.
  • The
  • Upstream Adage
  • parable offers a framework for identifying proactive interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential for forensic nurses to engage in "upstream" prevention of interpersonal violence.
  • To identify how forensic nurses can expand their roles to include primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies.
  • To highlight the impact of forensic nursing in IPV prevention beyond direct patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis using the "Upstream Adage" parable.
  • Examination of forensic nursing scope of practice.
  • Identification of potential intervention points for IPV prevention.

Main Results:

  • Forensic nurses are well-positioned to implement upstream interventions targeting various risk levels.
  • Expanding practice to include community and individual-focused prevention is feasible.
  • Proactive engagement can influence IPV rates and outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Forensic nurses can play a crucial role in the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of interpersonal violence.
  • An expanded "upstream" focus for forensic nursing can lead to significant positive influences on IPV.
  • Integrating prevention into forensic nursing practice offers a novel approach to addressing this pervasive issue.
