“…This manuscript presents a cross-sectional analysis of participants obtained through an online recruitment strategy using social media platforms Facebook and LinkedIn. This online survey was part of a larger study about nurses and trauma-informed care (see Stokes, Jacob, Gifford, Squires, & Vandyk, 2017). The online survey included a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC) scale (Baker, Brown, Wilcox, Overstreet, & Arora, 2015).…”

Social media is an emerging tool used by researchers; however, limited information is available on its use for participant recruitment specifically. The purpose of this article is to describe the use of Facebook and LinkedIn social media sites in the recruitment of nurses for an online survey, using a 5-week modified online Dillman approach. Within 3 weeks, we exceeded our target sample size ( n = 170) and within 5 weeks recruited 267 English-speaking nurses ( n = 172, Facebook; n = 95, LinkedIn). Advantages included speed of recruitment, cost-efficiency, snowballing effects, and accessibility of the researcher to potential participants. However, an analysis of the recruited participants revealed significant differences when comparing the sociodemographics of participants recruited through Facebook and LinkedIn, specifically relating to the characteristics of sex, age, and level of education. Differences between Facebook and LinkedIn as recruitment platforms should be considered when incorporating these strategies.

“…Additionally, education regarding trauma is noted to assist mental health nurses relate to consumers and improve the therapeutic relationship. [32,33] Compared to units without a trauma-informed lens, those offering TIC included education to nurses focused on trauma and how trauma leads to often called maladaptive behaviors which historically have been viewed as simply bad patient behavior. By educating nurses on the effects of trauma, patient actions can be assessed as reflective of trauma cues, such as loss of control or loss of patient voice leading to an opportunity to enhance nurse-patient communication for de-escalation.…”

Psychiatric nurses in inpatient settings provide person-centered and relationship-based care to persons in acute distress from behavioral health and substance use problems. The emotional labor of this highly interpersonal care is further complicated by the high rates of historical trauma among this population. This article summarizes the impact of trauma on patients in acute psychiatric settings, the impact of challenging organizational contexts and patient distress on nurse burnout, and proposes four strategies for promoting trauma-informed care by inpatient psychiatric nurses including a) promoting education of nurses on the impacts of trauma, b) building support among nurse colleagues, c) emphasizing clinical skills in coping with patient distress, and d) implementing mindfulness skills as a core coping strategy for nurses for managing their reactions to patient distress. Trauma-inforced care holds patient safety as primary to clinical effectiveness and is also crucial for promoting supportive patient-nurse relationships. As such, trauma-informed care has the potential to combat nurse burnout and improve outcomes for patients.

“…9 To effectively address the effects of ACEs, health care providers must not only understand the impact on an individual's health and well-being but also learn the skills to employ a trauma-informed approach to care, which acknowledges the events, experiences, and effects of individual trauma. 10,11 Current opportunities and models to educate physicians and physician-trainees in the science of ACEs and the ideals of a trauma-informed approach to care are limited. 7,9 A recent scoping review of the current state of trauma-informed education embedded in health sciences curricula identified 22 articles that described trauma-informed educational curricula.…”

Introduction: Training health professionals for the skills and capacity to respond adequately to children and adults who have been exposed to adverse childhood experiences is recognized as an essential need in health care. Accessible opportunities to educate physicians and physician-trainees are limited. Methods: Four computer-based e-modules were created focusing on addressing childhood adversity and implementing trauma-informed care in the pediatric primary care setting. These childhood adversity and trauma-informed care (CA-TIC) e-modules were designed as an individualized, self-directed experience to allow for distance learning with flexibility to be embedded into existing coursework. To foster an engaging learning environment, we narrated the modules, prioritized images, and included the opportunity for participant interaction via multiple-choice and short-answer questions. Twenty-eight pediatric residents, two medical students, four attending physicians, and one fellow at Children's National Hospital completed the e-modules. Results: Overall, participants rated the CA-TIC e-modules 4.6 (SD = 0.5) out of 5 for design and quality. Using paired t tests and Wilcoxon signed rank tests, we found statistically significant score increases from presession to postsession for participants' knowledge, attitudes, practice, and confidence related to CA-TIC. The most commonly cited learning points and practice changes included asking about trauma in practice and the seven C's of resilience. Discussion: A trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to care can assist health care providers in mitigating the link between adversity and related poor health outcomes. The CA-TIC e-modules provide an opportunity to train health professionals using an innovative, self-directed, and low-resource mechanism.
