Dr. Yang Li, PhD, RN, shares her research on the effect of trauma and her observations regarding the integration of trauma-informed care into medical practice on this episode of the AAOHN Pulse. She identifies a critical need for medical professionals to account for what patients have experienced, as well as for caregivers to acknowledge their own struggles. Host Stephanie Weinsier and Dr. Li discuss creating a safe space for patients, practices to treat physical and mental disruptions caused by trauma, as well as the way trauma specifically impacts high risk communities, such as the field of nursing, as seen in Dr. Li’s research.
