We will present the results of a qualitative study on nurses' lived experiences of caring for victims of child maltreatment. We will also propose strategies to reduce the long lasting effects of caring for victims.
Learning Outcomes:
Increased knowledge about:
the challenges nurses encounter as they care for victims of child maltreatment.
nurses' emotional and educational needs as they care for victims of child maltreatment.
the potential best nursing practice recommendations to reduce the long lasting effects of caring for victims of child maltreatment.
