Despite substantial improvements in trauma care, severe injuries often result in significant long-term consequences for otherwise young, healthy individuals. Providing patient-centered care and extensive psychosocial support services is difficult for trauma centers.
In collaboration with researchers and clinicians, the American Trauma Society has developed the Trauma Survivors Network, a program incorporating self-management, peer support, timely access to information, and online social networking.
Individually, these components have been proven effective in improving outcomes and quality of life and are widely used in nontrauma settings. To date, 70 representatives from 30 trauma centers have participated in training sessions conducted by the American Trauma Society.
The Trauma Survivors Network provides a critical component of trauma care that can be adapted for local needs throughout the country. Implementation of these services is a necessary step in the development of comprehensive trauma systems that not only save lives but also reduce long-term disability among survivors.
尽管创伤护理有了显著改善，但严重损伤往往会给原本年轻健康的个体带来重大的长期后果。创伤中心很难提供以患者为中心的护理和广泛的心理社会支持服务。
美国创伤协会与研究人员和临床医生合作，开发了创伤幸存者网络，这是一个包含自我管理、同伴支持、及时获取信息和在线社交网络的项目。
这些组成部分各自已被证明在改善预后和生活质量方面有效，并在非创伤环境中广泛使用。迄今为止，来自30个创伤中心的70名代表参加了美国创伤协会举办的培训课程。
创伤幸存者网络提供了创伤护理的关键组成部分，可根据全国各地的当地需求进行调整。实施这些服务是发展综合创伤系统的必要步骤，该系统不仅能挽救生命，还能减少幸存者的长期残疾。
