New citation for Hodges' model

It was a struggle obtaining a copy, as the paper is not open access, but more good news with Doyle & Jones (2013) being cited in:

Yasemin Güner, Bilge Delibalta, Melek Üçüncüoğlu, Sinan Paslı, Challenges encountered by emergency nurses in forensic case management: A qualitative study, Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, Volume 109, 2025, 102807, ISSN 1752-928X, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jflm.2025.102807.(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1752928X25000083)

The above has been added to the blog's bibliography. 

The abstract reads:

Purpose/Aims: This study aimed to reveal the opinions of emergency room nurses regarding crime victims and the challenges they experience.
Design: This study was a qualitative descriptive study.
Methods: A convenience sampling method was used in the study. Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews using semi-structured questions lasting approximately 45 min. The interviews were audio recorded. In total, nine nurses individual interviews were held.
Results: The study was completed with nine nurses with approximately twelve years of experience in the emergency department. Four themes were identified: duties and responsibilities of nurses in crime victims management; maintaining well-being in challenging crime victims; education needs of emergency nurses for crime victims; and challenges experienced by nurses in crime victims management.
Conclusions: When contextualizing the findings of our study within forensic nursing theory, it becomes evident that nurses play a pivotal role in continuously informing, influencing, and advancing forensic nursing care to improve patient health, forensic evidence collection, and criminal justice outcomes. A key finding of our study was the impact of interaction with crime victims in the emergency department on nurses’ well-being. In this regard, implementing institution-supported education policies, establishing units dedicated to supporting wellbeing, and fostering a supportive organizational culture are essential measures to promote the resilience and effectiveness of nurses in this critical field.

I will read again, and reflect later in the month.
