TitleTeaching & Learning Trauma Informed Care for Health SettingsSummaryAccessing healthcare in hospitals for those with complex psychological trauma histories can often be triggering, resulting in challenging interactions between patients and staff, and placing patients at increased risk of avoidable patient safety events and poorer health outcomes. Building on the success of TS4TIC, which uses transformative simulation approaches to impart the principles of trauma informed care within acute hospital settings - this KTA award will be used to develop easy-to-use third-level educational training tools, for use across other health professions including nursing, dentistry, and pharmacy. In specific, the tools include the use of personas, or fictitious character profiles, whose experiences, emotions, and perspectives are depicted across a patient journey, as the pathway an individual might experience in deciding when, where, and how to access health care, and what happens to that individual once they make contact with a healthcare provider. These educational tools will be developed, refined, and finalised together with students, educators and experts by experience in the form of a series of workshops, to ensure that the personas, patient journeys, and training tools are acceptable and accessible to students and educators alike.Funding AgencyHealth Research BoardDate From7.11.2022Date To6.11.2023
