Background: Trauma-informed care is recommended to avoid the inadvertent retraumatization of patients by health care providers. Psychometric evaluation of trauma-informed care instruments is needed. The Japanese version of the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC-10) Scale has not yet been psychometrically validated.
Objective: The study's objective was to examine the reliability and validity of the ARTIC-10.
Methods: This psychometric study of the ARTIC-10 compared with five other scales associated with attitudes related to trauma-informed care used a cross-sectional survey design conducted in November 2020 with a convenience sample of Japanese physicians and nurses recruited from an internet research agency. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires including the (a) ARTIC-10; (b) the Japanese version of the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire 2018; (c) Patient Health Questionnaire-9; (d) Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7; (e) Stress Underestimation Beliefs; and (f) Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised. Cronbach's α measured reliability internal consistency, and construct validity was measured by Spearman's rank.
Results: A total of 794 physicians and nurses completed the surveys. Cronbach's α value of ARTIC-10 was 0.56. Higher scores of ARTIC-10 were positively and significantly correlated with Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire 2018 and negatively and significantly correlated with other scales (r =-.12 to .30).
Conclusion: This study found only modest internal consistency and construct validity of the Japanese version of ARTIC-10 in physicians and nurses. Further study is needed to identify factors that affect the reliability and validity of this Japanese scale to improve its psychometric properties.

Introduction: The well-being of trauma-affected children and youth in residential care settings is contingent upon the well-being of the workers who care for them, who are increasingly expected to provide care in a trauma-informed manner. The well-being of residential care workers (RCWs) may be impacted by their own histories of adversity, their capacity individually and collectively to navigate to resources that sustain their well-being (resilience), and current perceptions of their professional quality of life.
Objective: This study aimed to fill a research gap by canvassing the perspectives of RCWs to determine what and how they need to be supported in their work.
Aim: To examine the effect of short-time video-based trauma-informed care (TIC) training in improving attitudes related to TIC and mental health among psychiatric nurses.
Methods: A nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of a 60-min TIC training video. The primary outcome measure was the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care Scale 35 (ARTIC-35).

Background: The vicarious trauma people who provide direct clinical care may experience is well documented. However, there is limited information about the vicarious trauma that researchers working with victim-survivors of domestic and family violence (DFV) or victimisation-related data may experience.
Aim: To describe and reflect on the vicarious trauma experienced by people researching DFV who have repeatedly been exposed to significant, traumatic data.

Noah, an 18-month-old infant with trisomy 21, was brought to the emergency department for adenovirus bronchiolitis. He was found to meet criteria for severe malnutrition, and his medical team called Child Protective Services (CPS) with concern for neglect. He remained hospitalized for 1 month while a safe discharge was coordinated by the medical and CPS teams.

Background: Syringe services programs (SSP) are evidence-based venues offering harm reduction services to persons who inject drugs (PWID), such as sterile syringes, STI/HIV testing, and linkage to care to decrease drug use-related morbidities and mortalities. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked with reduced resilience, while increased resilience can help PWID attend SSPs. This study examined the potential mediating role of resilience between ACEs and SSP attendance among PWID.
