“…Study findings consistently indicated benefits for professionals who participate in TICP training and education. This finding is also reflected in international studies that show improvements in knowledge of trauma (Connors-Burrow et al, 2013;Fragkiadaki et al, 2020;Lotzin et al, 2018;Purtle, 2018), increased confidence to respond to disclosures of trauma (Layne et al, 2011;Lotzin et al, 2018) and improved approaches to care (Niimura et al, 2019), with effects maintained at follow-up (Connors-Burrow et al, 2013;Niimura et al, 2019;Purtle, 2018). Similar to studies in this review, international studies also identified barriers for implementing TICP relating to workplace settings (Niimura et al, 2019), policy (Connors-Burrow et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2021) and time constraints (Fragkiadaki et al, 2020;Niimura et al, 2019).…”

Findings such as these suggest that a series of brief Web-based designs, similar to the Hoysted et al (2019) study, may provide a solution that maximises the benefits of TICP training and education for professionals while overcoming identified barriers such as time constraints and lack of resources.…”

“…This is a finding that suggests an active interest in delivering and evaluating TICP training and education for professionals in Australia, specifically in the health sector and predominantly amongst the nursing profession. In contrast, however, international studies (Baker et al , 2018; Bunting et al , 2019; Connors-Burrow et al , 2013; Dempster-Rivett, 2018; Fragkiadaki et al , 2020; Layne et al , 2011; Lotzin et al , 2018; Marr et al , 2015; Niimura et al , 2019; Pence, 2011; Purtle, 2018) reflected research interests from broader sectors including welfare and justice. This finding suggests that a current research gap exists in the Australian literature, evaluating TICP training and education for professionals working in alternative sectors to health.…”

TICP has gained attention in Australia since 2010 onwards (Bateman et al , 2013).…”

Purpose Trauma-informed care and practice (TICP) has gained international attention since the mid-1990s, but its recent adoption in Australia has been met with various barriers, including a lack of training and education opportunities to enhance professional knowledge and practice. This paper aims to identify and further understand what is occurring in TICP training and education for health and human service professionals in Australia; specifically, what is known about TICP content and training strategies being used. Design/methodology/approach A scoping methodology was used to undertake a systematic search of the literature to identify and map the scope and nature of research activity on TICP training and education for professionals in Australia. Based on the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, removal of duplications, abstract review and full-text screening, six studies met the inclusion criteria for content analysis in this review. Findings The studies showed that TICP training and education was occurring predominantly in the Australian health sector for nursing professionals and improved knowledge, confidence to respond to disclosures of trauma and approaches to care. Training was commonly delivered through one-day workshops and brief Web-based approaches. The findings suggested that there is a need for consensus on TICP content to ensure that fidelity to the principles of TICP is promoted in unique workplace settings and for ongoing commitment by relevant stakeholders and funding bodies. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first review exploring what is happening across disciplines and sectors for trauma-informed education. The findings have implications for clinicians, professionals, educators and researchers.

Trauma-Informed Care Curricula for the Health Professions: A Scoping Review of Best Practices for Design, Implementation, and Evaluation

et al. 2022

Purpose Trauma-exposed persons often experience difficulties accessing medical care, remaining engaged in treatment plans, and feeling psychologically safe when receiving care. Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an established framework for health care professionals, but best practices for TIC education remain unclear. To remedy this, the authors conducted a multidisciplinary scoping literature review to discern best practices for the design, implementation, and evaluation of TIC curricula for health care professionals. Method The research team searched Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Elsevier’s Scopus, Elsevier’s Embase, Web of Science, and the PTSDpubs database from the database inception date until May 14, 2021. Worldwide English language studies on previously implemented TIC curricula for trainees or professionals in health care were included in this review. Results Fifty-five studies met the inclusion criteria, with medicine being the most common discipline represented. The most prevalent learning objectives were cultivating skills in screening for trauma and responding to subsequent disclosures (41 studies [74.5%]), defining trauma (34 studies [61.8%]), and understanding trauma’s impact on health (33 studies [60.0%]). Fifty-one of the studies included curricular evaluations, with the most common survey items being confidence in TIC skills (38 studies [74.5%]), training content knowledge assessment (25 studies [49.0%]), participant demographic characteristics (21 studies [41.2%]), and attitudes regarding the importance of TIC (19 studies [37.3%]). Conclusions Future curricula should be rooted in cultural humility and an understanding of the impacts of marginalization and oppression on individual and collective experiences of trauma. Moreover, curricula are needed for clinicians in more diverse specialties and across different cadres of care teams. Additional considerations include mandated reporting, medical record documentation, and vicarious trauma experienced by health care professionals.
