title: Caring Science and the Development of Forensic Psychiatric Caring.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study aimed to discuss how caring science can contribute and provide a theoretical foundation for the development of caring within forensic psychiatric care.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is not only a challenge but also a great opportunity to use caring science theory within forensic psychiatric care when caring for the patients and supporting their health processes.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a need for more knowledge about, understanding of, and willingness to care for patients within forensic psychiatric settings in a "true caring" way. In order to achieve this, a caring culture is required, one that supports carers and provides them with opportunities to further develop a caring attitude.
