Abstract: Trauma-informed care is a model of care in which healthcare professionals implement targeted interventions based on fully understanding of patients' trauma experiences, aiming to reduce psychological trauma symptoms, prevent re-traumatization, and improve health outcomes. Since the introduction of this concept, it has been applied in various fields, including medical education, mental health, obstetrics, and emergency care. The implementation of trauma-informed care requires targeted education and training for healthcare professionals; however, there is currently insufficient understanding of trauma-informed care among these professionals. Additionally, there are significant variations in the scope, content, model, and effectiveness of trauma-informed care education. This study aims to review the existing state of trauma-informed care education internationally, identify current research hotspots and shortcomings, and provide references for the future design and implementation of trauma-informed care education in China.
