Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have increased people's awareness of mental health issues. Psychological trauma impacts patients in the acute care setting through physical and mental health presentations. Trauma is a public health issue crossing all socioeconomic groups and is related to social determinants of health. Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an evidence-based approach to providing care. TIC is within the scope of nursing practice and improves outcomes for patients. However, there is a lack of standard terms or practices within healthcare. Additionally, there is superficial acknowledgment of the need for TIC at the local or national level regarding policy. Nurses need to adopt TIC into practice and advocate for policy change to improve the health and lives of those seeking care.
事件，如 COVID-19 大流行和乌克兰战争，增加了人们对心理健康问题的认识。心理创伤通过身心健康表现影响急症护理环境中的患者。创伤是一个跨越所有社会经济群体的公共卫生问题，与健康的社会决定因素有关。以创伤为中心的护理（TIC）是一种提供护理的循证方法。TIC 属于护理实践的范畴，可以改善患者的预后。然而，医疗保健领域缺乏标准术语或实践。此外，在地方或国家层面的政策方面，对 TIC 的需求只是表面上的承认。护士需要将 TIC 应用于实践，并倡导政策变革，以改善寻求护理者的健康和生活。
