A total of 420 nurses from two tertiary hospitals in South Korea participated.

An item analysis revealed significant correlations between each item and the total scale score. Criterion validity was supported by significant correlations between the FNCS\u2010SF and attitudes and beliefs towards forensic nursing and the performance of the forensic nursing role. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a six\u2010factor model with good fit indices. Cronbach's alpha indicated strong internal consistency.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The FNCS\u2010SF is a valid and reliable tool for assessing hospital nurses' forensic nursing competencies, which can improve patient safety and treatment outcomes.
