WHY - It is important to establish the basics of trauma-informed practice for nursing students prior to interpersonal interaction with patients and families, building these skills into their practice while they are learning how to be a nurse. This set of materials brings principles of trauma-informed care into the initial teaching of physical assessment skills and techniques and related skills for taking a health history, addressing both pediatric and adult patients.
WHAT – Access to slide sets with accompanying instructor notes for both the Adult and Pediatric Health History versions.
HOW – Decide whether you will focus on an Adult or Pediatric Health History (for some courses it may be both). We suggest that you have your students complete the Trauma-Informed Care 101. You have access to the Trauma-Informed Health History Adult version or Trauma-Informed Health History Pediatric version, along with accompanying slide sets to guide your teaching. Additionally, you have access to Teaching Trauma-Informed Care: A Symposium for Medical Students, a supplemental resource to enhance student learning.
