![]() Quantitative data was supplemented by qualitative focus group data. We compared attitudes and compassion fatigue among 216 school personnel ( n = 98 intervention, n = 118 comparison) utilising the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC) scale and the Professional Quality of Life scale (Pro-QoL). The study utilised a quasi-experimental wait-list control pre-post intervention design to evaluate the efficacy of trauma-informed professional development training. In addressing this gap, the study is one of the first to utilise a control group in the research design to ensure findings are robust.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the benefits of professional development training in trauma-informed approaches on school personnel attitudes and compassion fatigue. ![]() However, teacher pre-service training programmes often offer inadequate instruction to meet the needs of trauma-impacted students.
