Abstract

The purpose of this best practice guideline is to focus on how nurses and the interprofessional team can provide effective trauma-informed crisis interventions (immediately and to up to four weeks post-crisis) in adults (18 years and older) in order to optimize evidence-based practices and clinical outcomes. The guideline is applicable in all practice settings and promotes consistent, evidence-based response and care. The guideline is relevant for:

  • all domains of nursing practice (i.e., clinical practice, research, education, and policy and administration)
  • social service
  • other members of the interprofessional team across all practice settings at the unit, organization, and system levels
