REVIVE Is an Evidence-Based Approach for Nurses to Universally Apply Trauma-Informed Care in Maternity Settings.

The principles of trauma-informed care-safety, compassion, collaboration, communication, autonomy, and empowerment-are also the domains most vulnerable to implicit bias and most cited in adverse outcomes in maternal health. Perinatal nurses can practice trauma-informed care universally and thereby foster and advance person-centered care for all individuals with respect to race, ethnicity, religion, or lived experiences. In this article, we present evidence-based nursing interventions, collectively called REVIVE, that are known to promote principles of trauma-informed care. Taken together, the REVIVE interventions may improve health outcomes and reduce disparities in maternal health outcomes because they are proactive nursing interventions independent of implicit bias. REVIVE is described here and intended for use by individual nurses or health care teams to implement and evaluate in different maternity settings.
