(1) The body of literature suggests that the prevalence of substance abuse among nurses and nursing students is less than or similar to the general population, but that younger nurses may be more at risk. Male nurses may be at increased risk for substance abuse. Prevalence of substance abuse by clinical specialty remains unclear. Several risk factors for impairment including depression and lack of social support were identified in the descriptive and qualitative studies. Perceptions and attitudes toward impaired nurses and colleagues reveal a lack of optimism about treatment by nursing management. Acceptance of the illness concept varied by ethnicity. Impaired nurses did not feel supported by nursing management. Peer assistance groups may be an effective means of addressing substance abuse among nurses.

A Concept Analysis of Alcoholic Denial and Cultural Accounts

Advances in Nursing Science

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Accounts are statements offered by individuals when explaining questionable behavior. Cultures vary in the kinds of accounts they honor, and individuals who deny a problem with alcohol may be attempting to maintain congruence between self and culture. Within this context, health care professionals who challenge a patient's denial may be causing unnecessary harm. The author presents a concept analysis of alcoholic denial in relation to the concept of accounts to explicate cultural variations in the manifestation of denial. The author integrates findings of her own and others' research to advance an understanding of alcoholic denial and cultural accounts.

Nurses' Attitudes toward Substance Misusers. III. Emergency Room Nurses' Attitudes, Nurses' Attitudes toward Impaired Nurses, and Studies of Attitudinal Change

Substance Use & Misuse

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Emergency room nurses generally regard alcohol and drug misusers as troublesome patients and dislike caring for them. Surveys of nurses' and nurse managers' attitudes toward impaired nurses, all published in recent years, suggest that they are generally supportive of impaired nurses and sanguine about their prospects for recovery; nonetheless, a substantial minority oppose the return to work of a formerly substance-misusing nurse colleague. Programs designed to change nurses' attitudes toward substance misusers are generally ineffective, although significant gains in substance-related knowledge are commonly reported.
