Abstract

Objectives

We reviewed studies that evaluated knowledge and perceptions of trauma-informed care (TIC) by service providers of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Methods

Studies were identified from an internet search using keywords and selection criteria. Review categories included participants, settings, measurement methods, data analysis, and measurement outcomes.

Results

The review yielded seven studies conducted with diverse populations of service providers at community and residential programs. Results obtained from quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods data analysis reflected different levels of TIC awareness, understanding, training, and practice expertise among the research participants.

Conclusions

There is increased attention towards TIC as an approach and philosophy of care for persons with IDD who have experienced adverse life events. Studies have reported generally favorable impressions of TIC by service providers; however, further evaluation is needed to design integrated models of care, determine requisite organizational resources, and address practitioner training.

评估服务提供者对创伤知情护理的知识和认知

目的：我们回顾了评估智力和发育障碍服务提供者对创伤知情护理（TIC）的知识和认知的研究。方法使用关键词和选择标准从网络搜索中识别研究。综述类别包括参与者、设置、测量方法、数据分析和测量结果。结果该综述产生了7项研究，涉及社区和住宅项目的不同人群的服务提供者。从定量、定性和混合方法数据分析中获得的结果反映了研究参与者对TIC的认识、理解、培训和实践专业知识的不同水平。结论对于经历过不良生活事件的IDD患者，TIC治疗作为一种治疗方法和理念受到越来越多的关注。研究报告显示，服务提供者对议会的印象普遍良好；然而，需要进一步的评估来设计综合护理模式，确定必要的组织资源，并解决从业者培训问题。
