L’objectif

In 2017, the Fraser Health Authority developed a training program for direct service providers designed to address the connection between provider stress and patient care—a mental health and resiliency program based in the principles of trauma-informed practice and care. This article reports the results of an evaluation of this program. 

Constatations/points à retenir

Findings suggest that embedding resiliency and self-compassion within trauma-informed training programs is a promising approach for cultural change in healthcare practice. Leaders are encouraged to explore how such a model may be implementable for their own organizations and departments.

La conception ou méthodologie de recherche

A pre-post design was used to assess program outcomes. Only 18 participants completed the follow-up assessment, probably due to the impact of the pandemic. A mix of quantitative and qualitative measures were used.
