Abstract

Trauma-informed care (TIC) is critical in forensic nursing for sexual assault survivors, aiming to prevent re-traumatization and promote healing. This compilation highlights the necessity of comprehensive training, organizational support, and effective implementation strategies for TIC. Studies reveal challenges and facilitators in practice, emphasizing the importance of education and leadership. The approach extends to forensic examinations, culturally responsive care for vulnerable populations, and incorporates essential self-care for nurses to prevent burnout. Ultimately, TIC ensures empathetic, safe, and equitable care, improving survivor outcomes and overall system effectiveness.
