Trauma-informed care (TIC), a system of behavioral treatment practices that focuses on understanding and responding to the effects of adverse experiences via empathic and non-punitive interactions, is a promising intervention for the treatment of academic and mental health problems among youth. However, the effect of TIC on caregivers themselves is uncertain. Even less is known about the relationship between TIC and the well-being of teachers and school staff. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between exposure to criminal victimization (a known predictor of stress), attitudes toward TIC, and perceived stress among a sample of public school teachers and staff members (N = 396). In line with our predictions, increased victimization was associated with increased perceived stress whereas TIC-favorable attitudes were associated with decreased perceived stress. In addition, older participants exhibited lower perceived stress than younger participants. We discuss the current study’s limitations and the implications of the current findings for future research and mental health practice in schools.

创伤知情护理 (TIC) 是一种行为治疗实践系统，专注于通过移情和非惩罚性互动来理解和应对不良经历的影响，是治疗青少年学业和心理健康问题的一种很有前景的干预措施。然而，TIC 对护理人员本身的影响尚不确定。对 TIC 与教师和学校工作人员的福祉之间的关系知之甚少。在目前的研究中，我们调查了公立学校教师和工作人员样本中暴露于刑事受害（一种已知的压力预测指标）、对 TIC 的态度和感知压力之间的关系（N = 396)。与我们的预测一致，受害增加与感知压力增加有关，而对 TIC 有利的态度与感知压力减少有关。此外，年长的参与者比年轻的参与者表现出较低的感知压力。我们讨论了当前研究的局限性以及当前研究结果对学校未来研究和心理健康实践的影响。
