“…Previous research supports these findings. A study was conducted to assess the provider and practice characteristics influencing opioid prescribing behaviours among urologists (Amend et al, 2021). Results showed that implementing procedure-specific guidelines significantly reduced the number of opioids prescribed (Amend et al, 2021).…”

“…A study was conducted to assess the provider and practice characteristics influencing opioid prescribing behaviours among urologists (Amend et al, 2021). Results showed that implementing procedure-specific guidelines significantly reduced the number of opioids prescribed (Amend et al, 2021). Another study formulated guidelines for opioid prescribing that decreased the number of opioids prescribed by greater than 50% (Hill et al, 2018).…”

Aim: To investigate the views of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) regarding the development of setting-specific opioid prescribing guidelines. Background: There has been a rise in opioid-related deaths and adverse events in Canada in recent years. Although NPs make up a significant opioid prescriber group, no Canadian setting-specific guidelines exist to help guide their opioid prescribing. Methods: Purposive sampling was used to select NPs practicing in inpatient settings. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted virtually with 14 NPs (n=14) from Ontario. Directed qualitative content analysis was used to interpret interview data. Findings: The majority of NPs interviewed (n=13, 92.8%) believe that setting-specific opioid prescribing guidelines would benefit their practice. Interview responses illustrated that NPs face several challenges associated with inpatient opioid prescribing. To help mitigate these challenges, they often consult a pharmacist and reference prescribing resources such as Lexicomp and UpToDate. Additionally, several NPs in our study formulated their own setting-specific opioid prescribing resources to help guide their prescribing. Furthermore, NPs who had transitioned to acute care from a primary health care setting experienced a lack of confidence with opioid prescribing in a specialty setting. Conclusion: The development of setting-specific NP opioid prescribing guidelines in Canada can improve the prescribing process for NPs by providing them with clear, evidence-based recommendations, thus reducing ambiguity and promoting positive patient outcomes. Future research should explore the possibility of adapting internationally published setting-specific opioid prescribing guidelines for Canadian practice and the unique opioid prescribing challenges NPs experience when transitioning from primary care to acute care settings.
