“…Similarly, Kolusayın et al (2015) found that 80.4% of the respondents did not receive any training on the handling of biological evidence, underscoring an urgent unmet need in this field. In a study of nurses working in the ED of military hospitals operated by the Turkish Armed Forces, Saral (2008) found 86.5% and 95.4% reported receiving no education or training on forensic nursing as part of their vocational training and postgraduate education, respectively, whereas 64.4% of these nurses did not receive any in-service training. Similarly, Bahar found 97.1% of the 35 nurses studied did not receive any education or training on forensic nursing.…”

“…In general, nurses routinely examine patients at the time of hospital admission—identifying complaints, tailoring and employing management strategies, and evaluating and reporting the outcomes. In forensic cases, they are also responsible specifically for collecting, protecting, and preserving, and transferring evidence to the legal authorities (Bahar, 2008; Pınar & Bahar, 2011; Saral, 2008). When nurses are not equipped with necessary education in forensic nursing, they may make mistakes, such as the nonlabeling or mislabeling of patient samples; take inadequate samples; transfer samples without the use of the correct chemical preservatives; use the preservatives inaccurately; damage samples because of inappropriate packaging; and disrupt the evidence delivery chain because of mistakes in the registration of biological material (Demircan et al, 2008; İnanır et al, 2009).…”

Purpose This study reports the knowledge, experience, and attitudes of nurses toward forensic cases in Turkey; critically evaluates the appropriateness of current practices in the collection and preservation of evidence; and assesses nurses' level of awareness on the law enforcement perspective of forensic cases. The study, thereby, seeks to offer solutions to some practical difficulties faced by nurses in clinical practice in Turkey. Methods The study involved 178 nurses of 202 employed in three healthcare centers operated by the same private healthcare group located in Istanbul, Turkey. The primary method of data collection was a questionnaire composed of three sections. The first section recorded data concerning the participants' age, gender, number of years spent in the profession, number of years spent in current workplace, department in which they worked, and their job title. The second section sought to assess the participants' academic background and, specifically, the extent of their educational training on forensic cases at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Finally, the third section aimed to assess the participants' knowledge of and approach toward the management of forensic cases in real-life time setting by collecting data on their previous experience with forensic cases. Results Of 178 nurses, 139 (78.1%) were female and 39 (21.9%) were male. The mean age was 28.6 years, ranging from 18 to 51 years. The participants expressed that they experienced difficulties in medicolegal procedures (21.9%), evidence collection (14.0%), history taking and preparation of the patient (10.1%), forensic case reporting (10.1%), registry (9.0%), and physical examination (7.9%). The level of knowledge of the collection of forensic evidence and the protection of wet evidence was statistically higher among the participants who previously received training on the collection, preservation, and transfer of forensic evidence versus those who were not previously trained (p < 0.001 for both). Conclusion Our study results highlight the need for medicolegal regulations and legislation allowing for the creation of specific positions for forensic nurses in Turkey. We also concluded that these nurses should be trained and equipped with necessary knowledge and skills in forensic nursing.

Bu çalışma, Mısır’da 2011 Arap kalkışmaları neticesinde devrimci bir süreç içerisinde inşa edilen 2012 Anayasası ile Temmuz 2013’te gerçekleştirilen askeri darbe sonucunda tasarlanan 2014 Anayasası’nı, anayasal değişim temelinde belirli anayasal temalar çerçevesinde karşılaştırmayı amaçlamıştır. 2012 ve 2014 anayasaları; yapım süreçleri, din ve devlet ilişkileri, hükümet sistemleri ve son olarak temel hak ve hürriyetler açısından tartışılmıştır. Bu araştırmada metinsel analiz metodu tercih edilmiştir. 2012 Anayasasında, yapım süreci açısından kapsayıcılık, katılımcılık ve şeffaflık kriterleri büyük ölçüde sağlanmıştır. Ancak, literatürde sürecin kapsayıcı olmadığı eleştirileri yükselmiştir. 2014 Anayasası sürecinde ise bu kriterlerin hiçbiri yerine getirilmemiştir. İçerik açısından 2012 ve 2014 Anayasaları, hiç şüphesiz 1971 Anayasası’na nazaran daha başarılı metinlerdir. 2012 ve 2014 Anayasalarının kendi arasındaki karşılaştırılmasında ise 2012 Anayasası yasama, yürütme ve yargı organları arasındaki ilişkilerin düzenlenmesi açısından daha anayasacı bir metindir. Ayrıca, din ve devlet ilişkileri bakımından 2012 Anayasası’nda dine daha fazla anayasal rol ve önem verilmiştir. 2014 Anayasası’nda ise bu dini hükümlerden bazıları ortadan kaldırılmış ve bazı anayasal konularda daha seküler ve liberal bir yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. 2012 Anayasası’nda orduya fazlasıyla verilen ayrıcalıklar, 2014 Anayasası’nda olağandışı derecede genişletilmiştir. Bu durum, 2014 Anayasası’nda belirtilen devletin demokratik ve sivil karakteri ile açık bir çelişki meydana getirmiştir. 2014 Anayasası’nda gerçekleştirilen 2019 Anayasa değişiklikleri anayasacılık düşüncesi ile açıkça çelişen düzenlemeler getirmiştir. Bununla birlikte, 2014 Anayasası’nda, temel hak ve hürriyetler, önceki anayasalara nazaran güçlendirilmiştir.
