This article will  increase awareness of the potential trauma and its lasting effects children admitted to an ICU may experience. Patients with previous trauma are at risk for retraumatization during a hospitalization that includes time in an ICU (PICU). Bedside nurses who are aware of this risk and understand how to support the patient and family by creating a supportive environment will assist in improving physical and mental well-being. Nurses will be aware of how to incorporate the six principles of trauma-informed care when working with patients and families. Implementing these interventions help decrease unnecessary stressors and provide a supportive environment to patients and families during an ICU admission.
