Obstetric providers may feel poorly equipped to address this issue comfortably and effectively. Methods We designed this didactic module for obstetric residents with previous experience taking patient histories and delivering clinical care. The module was delivered with a faculty member and three additional facilitators with expertise in communication skills training. The session included 60 minutes of background information followed by a 15-minute presentation of a communication template for assessing trauma history. Using a practice case, residents had 45 minutes to practice in small groups, with the facilitators serving as the patient in the role-play. Results In the 2015-2016 academic year, 21 obstetric residents participated in this module. All residents (100%) endorsed favorable beliefs regarding the importance of assessing trauma history and using trauma-informed care. On average, three-fourths (77%) demonstrated basic awareness of issues related to trauma in medical populations. Most residents (>85%) reported a high sense of efficacy in delivering trauma-informed care in some areas, while fewer (64%) reported efficacy specifically in educating patients about signs and symptoms of traumatic stress. Discussion The module was well received overall, with participants indicating that clinical training in trauma-informed communication was needed to enhance their sense of efficacy in this area. This learning exercise provided training in a critical communication skill while highlighting areas for further development.Natalie R. StevensLucie HolmgreenStevan E. HobfollJamie A.
