Cover Story: For pregnant women of a refugee background, trauma-related experiences can contribute to maternal and neonatal health inequities. Group Pregnancy Care is a new model of care, co-designed with communities of refugee backgrounds, that incorporates a trauma-informed approach into maternity care. A qualitative evaluation involving interviews with professional staff was conducted. Key individual- and organisation-level factors were identified that assisted with integrating trauma-informed care, including strategies to minimise the risk of retraumatisation and burnout, and adequate time to facilitate group processes and support staff to participate in reflective practices. To promote equity, staff involved in the provision of maternity care need to develop a stronger understanding of the importance of trauma-informed approaches. View this paper
