Summary
Simulation-based training significantly improved trauma-informed care (TIC) knowledge and behaviors in graduate nurses. This feasible training enhances patient care and staff experience.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Simulation
- Trauma-Informed Care
Background:
- Hospital staff frequently encounter patients with trauma histories.
- Trauma-informed care (TIC) training is crucial for improving patient and staff experiences.
- Simulation-based training effectively reduces staff anxiety and addresses bias in healthcare settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To implement and evaluate simulation-based trauma-informed care (TIC) training for graduate nurses.
Main Methods:
- A three-phase process was used: intervention creation, feasibility determination, and training evaluation.
- The training involved a one-day face-to-face session with education and immersive patient simulations.
- A pre/post-test within-groups design assessed safety, acceptability, and effectiveness in 23 graduate nurses.
Main Results:
- Trauma Informed-Simulation Based Training (TI-SBT) significantly improved TIC knowledge (p ≤ 0.001) and behaviors (p = 0.013).
- Participant satisfaction with the training was high.
- Qualitative data revealed participants applied TIC principles in their practice.
Conclusions:
- The developed TI-SBT is a feasible, safe, acceptable, and effective method for introducing TIC to graduate nurses.
- Findings support further evaluation through a randomized controlled trial.
- TI-SBT has the potential to improve both patient care and hospital staff experiences.

Nursing Implementation
5.2K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
