Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an essential healthcare approach that acknowledges how past trauma can affect patients in medical settings. It emphasizes the importance of emotional and physical safety, clear communication, patient empowerment, and cultural awareness. Patients often experience anxiety, fear, or distrust in medical environments due to previous traumatic experiences, potentially leading to re-traumatization. TIC aims to create a compassionate and supportive environment where patients feel seen and valued, thus promoting better healing outcomes and overall patient satisfaction.
Trauma-informed care is a healthcare approach that recognizes how past trauma can shape a patient's experience, prioritizing emotional and physical safety.
Studies show that up to 90% of people have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime, indicating that trauma is common among patients.
