Trauma-informed Care Provider Survey

The Trauma-Informed Care Provider Survey (TIC Provider Survey) can help to gauge healthcare professionals' knowledge, opinions, confidence, and current practices with regard to trauma-informed healthcare. The survey can be used in training, clinical / quality improvement efforts, or in research.

The TIC Provider Survey was originally designed for use with healthcare providers caring for pediatric patients.  An "all patients" version, with minor revisions in wording (i.e. asking about the role of 'family members' rather than 'parents') was developed for use with healthcare providers caring for adult patients or for those working with patients of any age.

Other teams have created versions of the original TIC Provider Survey in Japanese and in Turkish.

New! Version 2.0 (released November 2021): 

CPTS has updated the “pediatric patient” and “all patient” versions of this survey to recognize that addressing secondary traumatic stress for healthcare providers is a key part of trauma-informed healthcare delivery.

What is different in Version 2.0?:

- New items in each section addressing secondary traumatic stress for healthcare providers

- Minor wording changes for clarity, and separate items to distinguish between time constraints and scope of work as potential barriers (these were combined in the original version)

Findings from projects using the TIC Provider Survey

In a statewide survey of nurses from pediatric trauma centers, TIC Provider Survey responses indicated that nurses were knowledgeable about many aspects of trauma-informed care, and generally held favorable opinions about integrating these considerations into their practice. Nurses' reports of their recent practice showed more variability, e.g. fewer than half reported that they regularly incorporated teaching for parents about emotional and behavioral reactions in their injured child after discharge.
