Abstract
The challenges of caring for female offenders with a mental disorder are significant. This study provides an exploration of forensic nurses’ motivation to care for this patient group. A small qualitative study was undertaken with four experienced forensic nurses working on a medium secure unit in the NHS in England. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, digitally recorded and transcribed. Through a qualitative content analysis, three key themes were identified that impacted on nurses’ motivations to care: job satisfaction, building the therapeutic relationship and the importance of support. A framework for practice is proposed to illustrate the impact of well-supported staff on patient care.
