摘要

Objectives

We reviewed studies that evaluated knowledge and perceptions of trauma-informed care (TIC) by service providers of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Methods

Studies were identified from an internet search using keywords and selection criteria. Review categories included participants, settings, measurement methods, data analysis, and measurement outcomes.

Results

The review yielded seven studies conducted with diverse populations of service providers at community and residential programs. Results obtained from quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods data analysis reflected different levels of TIC awareness, understanding, training, and practice expertise among the research participants.

Conclusions

There is increased attention towards TIC as an approach and philosophy of care for persons with IDD who have experienced adverse life events. Studies have reported generally favorable impressions of TIC by service providers; however, further evaluation is needed to design integrated models of care, determine requisite organizational resources, and address practitioner training.
