It is likely that nurses across all disciplines will have contact with people who have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and nurses themselves may have had such experiences. Therefore, all nurses should have at least a working knowledge of trauma and its effects. Nurse educators are in an optimal position to raise awareness of the prevalence and effects of trauma and to model the principles that underpin trauma-informed approaches. This article provides an introduction to trauma and trauma-informed approaches in the context of preregistration nurse education. The authors explore practical ways in which nurse educators can begin to integrate a trauma-informed approach into curricula, and suggest that doing so could enhance nursing students’ well-being and their ability to provide high-quality patient care.
