Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of structured forensic nursing education on pediatric nurses' forensic competency. Nurses working in pediatric clinics, pediatric emergency, and pediatric intensive care units will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a four-week structured forensic nursing education program supported by case scenarios and educational brochures. The control group will receive no intervention during the study period. Data will be collected using a Personal Information Form and the Forensic Nursing Task Competency Scale at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and three months after the training. The findings are expected to improve pediatric nurses' knowledge, skills, and responsibilities in managing forensic cases.
