Main Article Content
Abstract
Healthcare professionals today increasingly find themselves operating in a healthcare context characterized by the progressive increase in claims for compensation, often unrelated and sometimes aimed exclusively at profit, often accompanied by real complaints with huge legal consequences. The survey aims to investigate the perception, of the nurses who have joined the study, of the need to activate the legal-forensic nursing consultancy desk at the Order of Nursing Professions of the province of Avellino, as a defense and protection body.
