Can a simple care plan reduce stress for trauma survivors in the hospital?
NCT ID NCT06330753
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a trauma-informed care plan (TICP) placed in the electronic medical record helps healthcare teams better care for patients with trauma and complex needs. About 200 patients and their clinicians will use the plan, and researchers will measure how acceptable, appropriate, and feasible it is. The goal is to see if the plan improves patient satisfaction and reduces anxiety during healthcare visits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Trauma-informed care plan (a written plan placed in the electronic medical record to guide healthcare team interactions)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help healthcare teams better understand and support patients with trauma, reducing patient stress and improving care satisfaction.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on feasibility and acceptability, not on proving health outcomes. The plan may not change actual care or may not work in other settings.
