Yes, a shower needs a p-trap. If there is no p-trap installed then the sewer gasses have a clear path into your home. Any drain in your home needs a p-trap so there is standing water to block the gasses from floating through your drain and I to your house.Improved answerA trap does NOT have to be always "P" trap There are running traps J traps , LA traps depending on the application ..

Bell traps were normally used in outside catch basins for storm water piping. S traps in most model codes are outlawed because of trap seal losses because they can self siphon. Drum traps can allow dangerous sewer gases to enter a structure P traps , running traps and LA traps all are great for maintaining trap seal integrity
