Aim:
To examine the literature on the impact of Trauma Informed Care education on paediatric health care practitioners' self-reported knowledge and practice.
Background:
Psychosocial trauma during childhood is prevalent and linked to increased risk of adverse physical and mental health outcomes. Trauma Informed Care recognises the significant impact of childhood trauma in health outcomes. Education is key to health care practitioners' integrating Trauma Informed Care into practice.
Design:
Integrative review of the literature.
Methods:
The review employed Whittemore and Knafl's (2005) framework and adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2021 statement. A systematic search of Medline, CINAHL and SCOPUS, covering 2019 toMay 2024. Data were critically appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.
Results:
Nine studies were included, identifying four themes using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis: (1) 'awareness and understanding', (2)'self-efficacy and feeling competent', (3)'applying knowledge to practice' and (4)'barriers to implementation'. Following educational intervention, health care practitioners experienced increased knowledge regarding prevalence and impact of trauma for children and families and developed confidence to respond with trauma informed practices.
Conclusions:
Findings closely relate to the four components of Trauma Informed Care practice; realising the widespread impact of trauma, recognising symptomology, responding through integrating trauma knowledge into policies and practice and resisting re-traumatisation. The findings illustrate that Trauma Informed Care educational interventions significantly improves health care practitioners' knowledge and practice. In addition, this review supports the implementation of routine Trauma Informed Care education and associated practice policies into paediatric practice settings.
