Trauma-Informed Care in Inpatient Mental Health Settings: A Review of The Literature

Open access
Muskett, Coral·2014·International Journal of Mental Health Nursing

Abstract

Trauma‐informed care is an emerging value that is seen as fundamental to effective and contemporary mental health nursing practice. Trauma‐informed care, like recovery, leaves mental health nurses struggling to translate these values into day‐to‐day nursing practice. Many are confused about what individual actions they can take to support these values. To date, the most clearly articulated policy to emerge from the trauma‐informed care movement in A ustralia has been the agreement to reduce, and wherever possible, eliminate the use of seclusion and restraint. Confronted with the constant churn of admissions and readmissions of clients with challenging behaviours, and seemingly intractable mental illness, the elimination of seclusion and restraint is seen to be utopian by many mental health nurses in inpatient settings. Is trauma‐informed care solely about eliminating seclusion and restraint, or are there other tangible practices nurses could utilize to effect better health outcomes for mental health clients, especially those with significant abuse histories? This article summarizes the findings from the literature from 2000–2011 in identifying those practices and clinical activities that have been implemented to effect trauma‐informed care in inpatient mental health settings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
