Abstrakt: Background and Purpose: Trauma-informed care (TIC) acknowledges the lasting effects of trauma on individuals. The Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC-35) scale was developed to examine healthcare providers' attitudes related to TIC. Here, we present an item-level analysis of the ARTIC-35 scale for use with nurses and compare our findings to the current ARTIC-35 structure. Methods: Principal components analysis, qualitative inter-item analysis, and qualitative intra-item analysis of the ARTIC-35. Findings: Our principal component analysis structure supported a nine-factor solution, inter-item qualitative analysis structure supported five subscales, and intra-item qualitative analysis identified 13 acceptable items and 22 items requiring revision for use with nurses. Discussion: When used with nurses, there are important considerations regarding scale validity and challenges with the design of the original ARTIC-35 scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
