Spiritual care is in demand among individuals coping with trauma, but the barriers to seeking and providing spiritual care in traditional clinical settings suggest the need for community interventions. Trauma REBOOT is a 12-week, peer-led, Christian-based spiritual care course offered by trained volunteers in locations around the United States and online. We conducted the first study of the Trauma REBOOT program by interviewing 43 course graduates. Results revealed very positive perceptions of the course. Participants identified two reasons for attendance (seeking a program grounded in spirituality, looking for community), strengths of the program (structure of the curriculum, camaraderie among attendees), and avenues for improvement (preference for in-person format over remote format, more effective discussion leadership). They also described several effects of the course (more peace, transformed view of God, healthier boundaries in relationships, greater compassion for others, finding meaning in suffering). Based on these findings, we consider ways to enhance the delivery of spiritual care for trauma and refine the Trauma REBOOT program.
在应对创伤的个体中，精神关怀的需求很大，但在传统临床环境中寻求和提供精神关怀存在障碍，这表明需要社区干预措施。“创伤重启”（Trauma REBOOT）是一个为期12周、由同伴主导、基于基督教的精神关怀课程，由经过培训的志愿者在美国各地的场所及线上提供。我们通过采访43名课程毕业生对“创伤重启”项目进行了首次研究。结果显示对该课程的评价非常积极。参与者指出了参加课程的两个原因（寻求基于灵性的项目、寻找社群）、项目的优点（课程结构、参与者之间的情谊）以及改进方向（比起远程形式，更喜欢面对面形式、更有效的讨论引导）。他们还描述了该课程的几个效果（更多的安宁、对上帝看法的转变、人际关系中更健康的界限、对他人更多的同情、在苦难中找到意义）。基于这些发现，我们思考如何加强对创伤的精神关怀服务并完善“创伤重启”项目。
