Abstract
Background: Research indicates exclusionary and discriminatory practices may cause trauma and re-trauma and have lasting effects on learning.
Problem: Students from diverse racial-ethnic groups or those who have encountered racism, discrimination, violence, or community unrest are more likely to experience trauma, which impacts their ability to learn.
Approach: Using a trauma informed (TI) approach provides a framework to center equity in nursing education. TI strategies were employed in several courses to address inequities and enhance the teaching and learning experience for students and faculty.
Outcomes: Moving toward TI practices increased student and faculty satisfaction, offered flexibility, and promoted connection and relationship building between students and educators.
Conclusion: Recommendations include making small incremental changes, embracing a growth mindset, and collaborating with students. Additional research is needed to examine the impact of TI practices in nursing education.
