Aim:
This research aimed to uncover elements of a comprehensive, trauma-informed (TI) multidisciplinary health professions simulation framework to improve the delivery of care to traumatized patients.
Background:
Trauma is a pervasive public health problem requiring a TI approach. Simulation is an evidence-based teaching strategy that advances knowledge and clinical reasoning. There is a lack of scientifically based simulation education models addressing the delivery of TI care for the health professions.
Method:
A Delphi study utilizing a panel of experts was conducted to identify the most critical elements of a simulation framework.
Results:
Phase one identified 10 content areas and 111 subcontent areas. Phase two analysis revealed 99 percent of the 111 subcontent areas achieved expert consensus.
Conclusion:
This Delphi study provides the first scientifically based framework to guide the development of a comprehensive, TI, multidisciplinary simulation framework to recognize trauma survivors and subsequently display concern and respect.
