“…Alcohol is reported by students to relieve the frustration of studying (BUDHATHOKI et al, 2010). It also improves mood, reduces feelings of stress, anxiety, and tension, and relieves work and school pressures (NEWBURY-BIRCH; WALSHAW; KAMALI, 2001; YANG; YANG; PAN, 2001;SMITH, 2013). The first drink in an "episode" is reported to elicit enthusiasm, excitement, and happiness, while decreasing feelings of distress and sadness (PIASECKI et al, 2011).…”

Introduction: Substance use, as an occupation, is typically portrayed as problematic and the target of occupational therapy intervention and remediation. At the same time, psychoactive substances may be used to enhance mood, cognition, occupational performance, and/or experience, a perspective that is largely absent from occupation scholarship. Objective: We examine substance use in relation to the enhancement of occupation, drawing on the theoretical notion of agential realism. This theory suggests that in the social world 'reality' is not so much objective fact, stable and predictable, but rather continuously produced and reproduced, through doing and intra-active becoming. Method: A selected integrative, critical interpretive synthesis of the literature was conducted. The analysis is focused on synthesizing literature about substance use and enhancement of occupation. Results: Occupation does not exist independent of the doing, but also in 'becoming'. Sometimes using a substance is in itself an occupation-having a drink, or going out for coffee. Sometimes using a substance is a means to enhance another occupation-taking erectile dysfunction medication to improve sex, or amphetamines to improve studying. Sometimes using a substance simply alters the experience of an occupation-using cannabis or psychedelics to enhance the experience of listening to music. Conclusion: Adopting a focus on occupation may encourage novel ways of understanding substance use and what constitutes optimal quality of life and meaningful experiences. It may also facilitate better understandings of how people employ alternative, non-substance means to achieve desired occupational outcomes.

“…Although nurses who work intoxicated may be quickly discovered because of controlled drug policies at workplaces (Ross et al, 2018), the difficulty of identifying early signs of chemical dependence among staff members and the lack of clear protocols for intervention constitute significant barriers to organizational intervention (Bettinardi-Angres & Bologeorges, 2011; Smith, 2013). Nurse leaders were found to play important roles in recognizing problems with the performance of nurses with SUDs and intervening accordingly (Alunni-Kinkle, 2015).…”

Background: Nurses' substance use disorder (SUD) endangers patient safety and decreases nurses' work ability and health. To better understand the methods, treatments, and benefits of the programs used to monitor nurses with SUD and promote their recovery, a systematic review of international research is needed. Aim: The aim was to gather, evaluate, and summarize empirical research on programs for managing nurses with SUD. Design: An integrative review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis instructions. Method: Systematic searches were conducted in the CINAHL, PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases between 2006 and 2020, complemented with manual searches. Articles were selected based on inclusion, exclusion, and method-specific evaluation criteria. The data were analyzed narratively. Results: The review identified 12 studies of which nine focused on recovery and monitoring programs for nurses with SUD or other impairment and three concerned training programs for nurse supervisors or worksite monitors. The programs were described in terms of their target groups, goals, and theoretical basis. The programs' methods and benefits were described together with challenges in their implementation. Conclusion: There has been little research on programs for nurses with SUD, the programs that exist are heterogenous, and the evidence available in this field is weak. Further research and developmental work are needed on preventive and early detection programs as well as rehabilitative programs and programs supporting reentry to workplaces. In addition, programs should not be restricted to nurses and their supervisors; colleagues and work communities should also be involved.

Background: The Student Pharmacist Chemical Health Scale (SPCHS) is a tool designed to evaluate substance use behaviors and risk factors for substance abuse among student pharmacists. Methods: It was administered to a sample of student pharmacists at the University of Georgia (UGA) as a preliminary component of a longitudinal study evaluating student pharmacists nationwide. Results: This final scale was found to have a high degree of internal consistency and showed appropriate content and face validity for the domains tested. Conclusions: Future analyses will center on further validating the SPCHS in known groups of pharmacists with substance use disorders.
