RESUMO

This commentary provides an overview of the 2023 Association of Multidisciplinary Education and Research in Substance use and Addiction (AMERSA) annual conference: Advocacy for Equity Around Evidence-Based Treatments, held from November 1 to 4, 2023, in Washington, DC. The conference featured 9 interactive workshops, 106 oral abstract presentations, and 130 posters. From the preconference workshop to plenary sessions, paper, and poster presentations, there was a focus on addressing imbalanced social systems and structures underlying disparities. In the face of increasing drug overdose deaths, diminished access to prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery supports for racial and ethnic minorities, there is a pressing need for advocacy for equity around evidence-based treatments.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: All advanced practice nursing students in the doctor of nursing practice program at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing are required to complete 3 core courses (pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment). As of June 2023, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) required all prescribers of controlled medications to attest to at least 8 hours of substance use training. PURPOSE: To quantify the amount of time advanced practice nursing students learn substance use-related content and engage in teaching/learning activities across the 3 courses as a basis for meeting the DEA requirement. METHODS: Lead course faculty teaching identified content related to substance use disorders, including reading assignments and skill-building activities, and the minimum amount of time that students spend in those teaching/learning experiences. RESULTS: Advanced practice nursing students complete a total of 14 hours of substance use-related content in the 3 core courses. CONCLUSIONS: This article describes substance use-related content and strategies that can be integrated in advanced practice nursing programs for students to meet the new DEA requirement.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: More than 20 years ago, the Drug and Drug Problems Perception Questionnaire (DDPPQ) was developed to examine healthcare providers' attitudes and perceptions towards individuals who use drugs. In alignment with recommended terminology respectful of this patient population, the 20-item measure was revised using person-centered language. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the person-centered DDPPQ (PC-DDPPQ) version among undergraduate nursing students. METHODS: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the PC-DDPPQ factor structure using a cross-sectional design. A convenience sample of 400 students from two nursing schools located in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the US participated in the study. The sample (N = 400) was divided equally between the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). RESULTS: After applying principal axis factoring (PAF) with oblique (Promax) rotation, the EFA yielded a five-factor, 20-item structure that explained 70.0% of the variance. The CFA revealed that the final model, derived from the EFA, which yielded a 19-item, five-factor structure adequately fit the data (Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.959, the Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) = 0.951 and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.058). CONCLUSIONS: Except for one item (item #14), the five-factor structure aligned with the original 20-item version. This study contributes to promoting the use of a more appropriate and less stigmatizing language among healthcare providers working with patients who use drugs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is a high human and economic cost associated with alcohol use and alcohol use-related problems. Nurses have a pivotal role in addressing the needs of this patient population. Purpose: The study aimed to examine the correlation between nurses' demographics/background characteristics, personal attitudes, professional attitudes, and their motivation to provide care to patients with alcohol use and alcohol use-related problems. METHODS: A descriptive, cross-sectional correlational design was utilized. Nurses were recruited from four Southwestern Pennsylvania hospitals. The study variables were examined using questionnaires that explored nurses' demographic/background characteristics, their personal and professional attitudes, and motivation to care for patients with alcohol use and alcohol use-related problems. RESULTS: The sample included 234 nurses. Demographic/background characteristics were identified as associated with nurse's alcohol use-related motivation, including gender, primary work setting and specialization. Previous personal experience with alcohol use-related problems (nurses themselves or co-workers), familiarity, perceived dangerousness, fear, social distance, personal responsibility beliefs and disease model were also associated with nurses' alcohol use-related motivation to care for these patients. In addition, all professional attitudes were associated with nurses' motivation toward caring for patients with alcohol use and alcohol use-related problems. CONCLUSIONS: The study revealed that certain demographic/background characteristics and personal and professional attitudes were associated with nurses' motivation to provide care to this patient population. This study provides the foundation for future studies aimed at exploring predictors of nurse's motivation to care for patients with alcohol use and alcohol use-related problems.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: The 21st Century Cures Act to address the opioid crisis spurred the expansion of the peer support specialist (PSS) workforce. Nurses are in key positions to promote the successful integration of the PSS into the healthcare team. This article describes the role of the PSS, including key functions that overlap with those of nurses and ways they can help mitigate stigma, which remains a significant barrier to patients' access to treatment.

RESUMO

Background: Novel educational efforts are needed to prepare the current and future interprofessional health care workforce to address the range of substance use-related health problems. A 6-module massive open online course (MOOC) was developed to provide education to health professionals of various disciplines on the fundamentals of substance use-related treatment. The purpose of this project was to match course objectives to substance use-related competencies for 5 disciplines: nurses, pharmacists, physicians, physician assistants (PA), and social workers. Methods: Content expert raters within each discipline determined what Association for Multidisciplinary Education and Research in Substance use and Addiction (AMERSA) core competencies were matched to each objective for the 6 modules of the MOOC. The number of objectives across the 6 modules was summated. Results: All nursing and social work competencies were mapped to the course objectives. For physicians, PAs, and pharmacists, the proportions of knowledge-based competencies that mapped to the course objective were 58%, 76%, and 80%, respectively, and proportions of skill-based competencies that mapped to the course objective were 88%, 83%, and 75%, respectively. For those 3 groups, 100% of attitude-based competencies mapped to the course objective. Conclusions: The competency-based mapping with the MOOC objectives supports the interprofessional design of the course and discipline-specific competencies needed to promote the best outcomes for patients.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The emergency department is a primary portal to care for persons after an opioid overdose and those with an opioid use disorder. The aim of this integrative review was to provide best practice recommendations for nurses caring for this highly stigmatized and often undertreated population. METHODS: An integrative review was conducted using studies focusing on adults treated with opioid agonist-antagonist medications in the emergency department. The integrative review method by Whittemore and Knafl was used to guide this review and enhance its rigor. RESULTS: Twelve studies were included in the review. Opioid care begins with identifying opioid use risk, followed by implementing tailored strategies including opioid agonist-antagonist treatment if indicated, referral to treatment when warranted, and follow-up opioid use monitoring when feasible. Eleven recommendations provide guidance on integrating best practices into routine emergency care. DISCUSSION: The emergency department is an ideal setting for addressing the opioid crisis. Nurses can use the recommendations from this review to lead system change and more effectively manage the care of persons with opioid use and opioid withdrawal, and those at risk for opioid overdose.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Negative attitudes toward persons who use alcohol and other drugs contribute to suboptimal care. Nurses are in key roles to address the needs of this population, yet they lack the education needed to identify persons who may be at risk because of substance use and intervene accordingly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a substance-use-related curriculum on nursing students' attitudes and therapeutic commitment for working with patients with alcohol- and drug-use-related problems. METHODS: Data were collected for four cohorts of 169 nursing students enrolled in a Master's Entry into Nursing program. Questionnaires included the Person-Centered Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Perception Questionnaire and the Drug and Drug Problems Perception Questionnaire, completed before and after completing the curriculum. Paired samples t test were used to examine pre/post differences for each measure's subscale. RESULTS: Four of the seven Person-Centered Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Perception Questionnaire subscales showing significant increases were role adequacy, role support, role legitimacy, and general perceptions. Four of the five Drug and Drug Problems Perception Questionnaire subscales showing significant increases were role adequacy, role support, job satisfaction, and role legitimacy; there was a significant change in role-related self-esteem, however, in a negative direction. CONCLUSIONS: This study adds to the growing evidence of the positive impact of providing evidence-based information and skill development, which enhance alcohol- and drug-related knowledge and competence for nurses entering professional practice.

RESUMO

Health care providers are challenged to meet the simultaneous demands of delivering clinical care and acquiring new information, especially in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the opioid epidemic, and concurrent escalation in alcohol and other drug use. To address the gap in knowledge related to substance use, screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT), a self-paced online educational program, was developed and delivered to 169 learners. Posttest knowledge scores increased for all learners and did not differ based on their pace of completion. Results indicated that this module provides a means for busy clinicians to increase their ability to manage substance use, even if their learning occurs in multiple sessions interrupted by other pressing demands. Future iterations of this course could further enhance clinical competency by addition of an online clinical simulation component. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(11):505-510.].

RESUMO

Background: Opioid use and opioid use-related problems contribute significantly to increased morbidity rates and premature deaths as well as an increased economic burden. Nurses have key roles in providing care to this patient population; however, they often report low motivation toward working with these patients. Examining personal and professional attitudes associated with nurses' motivation to work with this population can present a valuable opportunity to enhance their willingness to intervene at an earlier stage when patients do not have a diagnosable opioid use disorder. Methods: A descriptive, correlational design was used. Nurses were recruited from four hospital settings in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Data on nurses' demographic/background characteristics, personal attitudes, professional attitudes, and motivation related to working with patients with opioid use and opioid use-related problems were collected via a paper/pencil survey and analyzed using linear regression. Results: A sample of 234 nurses were included in the final analyses. Personal attitudes associated with nurses' motivation included personal experience with a family member related to alcohol and/or other drugs, and stigma perceptions (familiarity, perceived dangerousness, fear, social distance and personal responsibility beliefs). Professional attitudes associated with nurses' motivation included working experience with substance use (SU), SU education as continuing education or other educational resources, role security, therapeutic commitment, role responsibility, and self-efficacy. Conclusions: This study's findings provide valuable information regarding the bivariate relationships between nurses' personal attitudes, professional attitudes, and motivation to work with patients with opioid use and opioid use-related problems. The study provides a base for future studies aimed at developing interventions to enhance nurses' motivation to work with this patient population particularly related to preventing the progression of opioid use to a diagnosable disorder.

RESUMO

The Association for Multidisciplinary Education and Research in Substance Use and Addiction (AMERSA) acknowledges that racism profoundly affects persons who use alcohol and other drugs. Racism's deadly effects compounded with other social determinants of health result in a cascade of negative impacts. The AMERSA Board of Directors (BOD) proposes an initial set of strategies to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion using a framework that speaks to four key AMERSA experiences: engagement, education, mentorship, and leadership. Through these strategies, AMERSA commits to promoting equity and inclusion to dismantle the individual, institutional, and structural racism that has permeated the United States for centuries.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Guided by four key messages from the decade-old Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, "The Future of Nursing," this paper highlights the progress made by the nursing profession in addressing substance use and its related disorders and offers recommendations to sustain and advance efforts to enhance care for persons who use substances, one of the most stigmatized and vulnerable populations. RESULTS: Patterns of substance use have shifted over the past 10 years, but the associated harms remain consequential. As awareness of the continuum of substance use has expanded, the care of persons with substance use has also expanded, from the domains of psychiatric-mental health and addictions nursing specialties to the mainstream of nursing. Now, greater efforts are being undertaken to identify and intervene with persons at risk for and experiencing substance use disorders. Nurses have advanced the knowledge and skills necessary for substance-related nursing care including education and training, leadership, care innovations, and workforce expansion and can drive efforts to increase public knowledge about the health risks associated with substance use. Recommendations aligned with each of the four IOM key messages are offered. CONCLUSIONS: As a profession, nursing has a responsibility to expand the progress made in addressing substance use - from prevention and early intervention to tertiary care. Nurses at all levels of education and practice are in key positions to carry out the recommendations herein to accelerate the changes needed to provide high quality care for persons impacted by substance use.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mentoring in the context of the faculty-student relationship can be one in which each benefits. Creative approaches are warranted to help discriminate the boundaries between the student and the teacher as a mentor, which are often ill-defined and blurred given the high-stakes summative assessments of performance. METHOD: Six specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based (SMART) goals were established for a mentor and mentee relationship spanning a 2-year period based on a vision for building a program of scholarship. Weekly mentoring sessions were used to monitor progress toward goal attainment. RESULTS: While completing the Doctor of Nursing Practice program, the mentee expanded professional networks, obtained funded fellowships, expanded knowledge and skills related to the substantive area of scholarship, and disseminated that work through professional presentations and publications coauthored with the mentor. CONCLUSION: Cognizant of the boundaries between course-related products and professional presentations and publications, the goal-driven mentor-mentee relationship is transformational to both.

RESUMO

AIMS: Given the importance of addressing provider attitudes toward individuals with unhealthy alcohol use and the current emphasis on person-centered language to help decrease stigma and mitigate negative attitudes, the aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a contemporary version of the Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Perception Questionnaire (AAPPQ) that uses person-centered language and addresses the spectrum of alcohol use. METHODS: The authors created a person-centered version of the AAPPQ (PC-AAPPQ) and conducted a cross-sectional study of its psychometric properties in academic settings in the Northeastern United States. The PC-AAPPQ was administered to 651 nursing students. Reliability analysis of the new instrument was performed using the total sample. Only surveys with complete data (n = 637) were randomly split into two datasets, one used for the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) (n = 310) and the other for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (n = 327). RESULTS: Compared to all the models generated from the EFA, neither the original six-factor structure nor the five-factor structure was superior to any of the other models. The results indicate that a seven-factor structure with all 30 items is the best fit for the PC-AAPPQ. CONCLUSIONS: The PC-AAPPQ represents a positive effort to modernize the four-decade-old AAPPQ. This 30-item instrument, which adds one additional subscale, offers a means to assess providers' attitudes using respectful wording that avoids perpetuating negative biases and reinforces efforts to affirm the worth and dignity of the population being treated.
