Human trafficking is characterized as a violation of human rights that exploits males and females of any age for personal or financial gain. Recently, health care professionals have been identified as feasible change agents in this global issue. However, many health care professionals are not trained in identifying and treating human trafficking victims. Through human trafficking education, health care professionals have the potential to be better equipped to recognize and assist trafficking victims and guide them to the specialized care they need.
The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of a trauma-informed human trafficking education intervention and the impact of this training on the self-efficacy of health care professionals in identifying and recognizing human trafficking victims in healthcare settings.
The study was a quasi-experimental research design with snowball and convenience recruitment SETTING: 100 % virtual, online.
Health care professionals (N = 30) including Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Medical Assistants, Certified Nursing Assistants, Emergency Medical Technicians, and Paramedics from a variety of healthcare settings.
30 min total program to include Qualtrics pre-intervention Violence Against Women Health Care Provider survey, 20 min educational intervention on YouTube©, and an identical Qualtrics post-intervention survey.
Total of 30 sets of paired data. The results showed statistically significant improvement in self-efficacy in all survey questions pre- and post-human trafficking educational intervention (p < .001).
An increase in health care professionals' self-efficacy in identifying and treating human trafficking victims yields better patient and health care system outcomes. Trauma-informed human trafficking education for all health care professionals is recommended.
人口贩运是一种侵犯人权的行为，它利用任何年龄的男性和女性谋取个人或经济利益。最近，医疗保健专业人员已被确定为解决这一全球性问题的可行变革推动者。然而，许多医疗保健专业人员并未接受过识别和治疗人口贩运受害者的培训。通过人口贩运教育，医疗保健专业人员有可能更好地识别和协助贩运受害者，并引导他们获得所需的专业护理。
本研究旨在衡量创伤知情型人口贩运教育干预的效果，以及这种培训对医疗保健专业人员在医疗环境中识别和识别人口贩运受害者的自我效能的影响。
研究采用准实验研究设计，采用滚雪球和便利招募方式。
100%虚拟，在线。
包括执业护士、医师助理、注册护士、执业护士、认证医疗助理、认证护理助理、急救医疗技术员和护理人员在内的医疗保健专业人员（N=30），来自各种医疗保健环境。
总共有 30 分钟的课程，包括 Qualtrics 预先干预针对妇女的暴力行为医疗保健提供者调查、在 YouTube©上进行 20 分钟的教育干预，以及相同的 Qualtrics 干预后调查。
共 30 组配对数据。结果表明，在人口贩运教育干预前后，所有调查问题的自我效能均有统计学显著提高（p<0.001）。
提高医疗保健专业人员识别和治疗人口贩运受害者的自我效能，会产生更好的患者和医疗保健系统结果。建议对所有医疗保健专业人员进行创伤知情型人口贩运教育。
