Abstract
AIM
This research aimed to uncover elements of a comprehensive, trauma-informed (TI) multidisciplinary health professions simulation framework to improve the delivery of care to traumatized patients.
BACKGROUND
Trauma is a pervasive public health problem requiring a TI approach. Simulation is an evidence-based teaching strategy that advances knowledge and clinical reasoning. There is a lack of scientifically based simulation education models addressing the delivery of TI care for the health professions.
METHOD
A Delphi study utilizing a panel of experts was conducted to identify the most critical elements of a simulation framework.
RESULTS
Phase one identified 10 content areas and 111 subcontent areas. Phase two analysis revealed 99 percent of the 111 subcontent areas achieved expert consensus.
CONCLUSION
This Delphi study provides the first scientifically based framework to guide the development of a comprehensive, TI, multidisciplinary simulation framework to recognize trauma survivors and subsequently display concern and respect.
