Trauma-Informed Approaches Center Equity, Inclusion, and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy

The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Health Equity outlines the role of nursing in advancing health equity and “…helping people live their healthiest life…”. Focused on educational equity, one of the highlights of this report is that nursing students need to graduate with the skills to deliver patient-centered care to diverse populations through trauma-informed care (TIC). How can nurses and students use TIC if the walls they are being educated in are not trauma-informed? Failing to honor and value students’ backgrounds and experiences in the classroom is a form of violence and can lead to trauma or re-trauma. Healthcare educators must be aware of the prevalence of trauma, how trauma is produced and reproduced in the learning environment, and how it can induce overwhelming stress and derail learning. Trauma-informed approaches require the examination and elimination of inequitable practices and policies in academia and provide a framework for centering equity, inclusion, and culturally responsive pedagogy. Academic healthcare institutions should be trauma-informed and prioritize the training of leaders, faculty, and staff on using Trauma-informed approaches.

Institutions of higher education are often eager to bring qualified students to campus. Students outside their home country bring perspectives and experiences that enrich academic cohorts. However, there are difficulties in recruiting and retaining partnerships between university systems. Dr. Gutiérrez Valverde and two of her students will discuss ways to increase and promote doctoral-level collaboration between universities within Mexico and other countries. The discussion will center around the lessons learned, from the perspective of doctoral students, in education between university systems.
