Sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) play a critical role in providing quality care to patients who have experienced sexual violence. Recent national legislative initiatives have been launched both to better explore state-specific needs in regard to training SANE nurses as well as pilot programs that will establish evidence-based methods of expanding SANE training to remote, rural, and underserved communities.A scoping literature review was conducted to identify best practices in SANE training as well as implications for delivering this education to rural and underserved communities. This review analyzed the scientific strengths and weaknesses of existing research, provided an overview of findings within the literature, and identified areas where further research could be directed to inform local, state, and national strategy on SANE education.Blended learning programs that pair online education with simulated clinical experiences are promising alternatives to the traditional classroom experience; however, more research is needed to know how to enhance retention and engagement of nurses utilizing these methods to obtain preliminary SANE training.

Emphasis by the American Nurses Association and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing regarding the importance of cultural competence in nursing education led to the development of a strategy to address personal bias in graduate nursing students. With the updated Essentials and a change to competency-based education, a need to address culturally congruent practices while increasing awareness of professional organization recommendations exists. Since Domain 2 of the Essentials highlights that culturally competent care is essential to person-centered care, a strategy that enhances knowledge by expanding the definition of culture beyond ethnicity and race was developed.

: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in three women worldwide has experienced physical or sexual violence. In countries like the US, UK, and Canada, victims are often cared for by sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs), who are trained to conduct forensic exams and offer emotional support, reducing the risk of retraumatisation. Thus, the aim of this study was to describe the satisfaction of patients and healthcare professionals with SANEs' services.

Effect of Patient Resilience on Functional Outcomes After Meniscectomy.

Orthop J Sports Med

November 2024

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rothman Institute, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated how preoperative patient resilience impacts outcomes two years after arthroscopic meniscectomy, particularly focusing on psychological factors affecting recovery.
  • - 100 patients who underwent the surgery were analyzed, revealing that those with higher resilience had better initial knee function scores, but resilience levels changed post-surgery, with some patients' resilience improving and others' declining.
  • - Ultimately, the findings suggested that although higher resilience correlates with better preoperative outcomes, it did not consistently predict differences in long-term patient-reported outcomes after surgery.
