Abstract

Research on trauma-informed practices is common in Western countries, but non-Western countries have made minimal contributions in this regard. This study aimed to develop an instrument which could be used to measure perceived competence of teachers in the implementation of trauma-informed practices for students with disabilities in Ghana and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Teacher Trauma Management Scale (TTMS), developed using the trauma framework by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration was used to collect data from 514 teachers in Ghana (n 270) and the UAE (n = 244). Data were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis) and a two-way factorial analysis of variance was conducted. While one hypothesis was supported by the study findings, the other was only partially supported. The findings provided theoretical and structural support for the newly developed TTMS in a non-Western context. This study highlights the need to develop contextual trauma management training models or a curriculum for training teachers.

制定并验证量表,以衡量加纳和阿拉伯联合酋长国全纳学校教师采用的创伤知情做法。
关于创伤知情实践的研究在西方国家很常见,但非西方国家在这方面的贡献却微乎其微。本研究旨在开发一种工具,用于衡量加纳和阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)教师在为残疾学生实施创伤知情实践时的认知能力。教师心理创伤管理量表(TTMS)是根据美国药物滥用和心理健康服务管理局(Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)制定的心理创伤框架开发的,用于收集加纳(n 270)和阿联酋(n = 244)514 名教师的数据。对数据进行了确证因子分析,并进行了双向因子方差分析。研究结果支持了一个假设,而另一个假设只得到了部分支持。研究结果为在非西方背景下新开发的 TTMS 提供了理论和结构上的支持。本研究强调,有必要开发符合实际情况的创伤管理培训模式或培训教师的课程。
