Background:
Current Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) education guidelines outline the minimum instruction needed for nurses to practice as SANEs. However, the same patients facing a higher prevalence of sexual violence are experiencing complex structural determinants of health, as well as ongoing stigma and discrimination in the health care setting. Therefore, SANE education should prepare nurses to care for survivors who disproportionately experience sexual violence.
Aim:
To present our equity-focused SANE curriculum designed to build competencies for nurses caring for survivors disproportionately impacted by sexual violence.
Methods:
Our SANE curriculum development was guided by cultural safety and intersectionality frameworks.
Conclusions:
We believe our enhanced SANE curriculum has the potential to more effectively prepare nurses to fully care for all survivors, particularly those who disproportionately experience sexual violence. Implementation and long-term evaluation of patient care outcomes are warranted.
