The study examines differences between clients in Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (ForFACT) and non-Forensic FACT services, particularly regarding their behavioral issues and mental disorders.
ForFACT clients show distinct psychiatric problems, with professionals noting higher levels of aggressive and transgressive behaviors among them, along with increased forensic vigilance compared to non-ForFACT professionals.
Despite these behavioral differences, both groups reported similar perceptions of important areas of care and key nursing interventions, suggesting the need for specialized training for ForFACT professionals.
