Abstract:
Thanks to the brave whistle blowers who have shared their stories, the community at large has become increasingly aware of the prevalence of sexual assault and trauma. Healthcare professionals report a lack of education specifically related to the care of assault survivors and an eagerness to learn trauma-informed care practices. A shift in care practice is nearly impossible, however, if healthcare professionals, especially nurses, hold a feeling of perceived powerlessness in their professional role.
In this session, we’ll review patient advocacy definitions as they relate to a patient-centered standard of care. Participants will also learn how to provide compassionate, trauma-sensitive care to survivors of trauma while preventing further harm. Instead of feeling powerless, participants can begin to develop awareness of the unique superpowers that perinatal healthcare providers possess and receive a foundational understanding for how to be strong, confident patient advocates.
