“…Other studies found that nurses have a high degree of ‘pharmacological overconfidence’, meaning overconfident attitudes regarding their ability to successfully control and manage self‐administration of medications (Darbro, ; Kenna & Lewis, ; Lillibridge et al., ). It is believed that such attitudes arise from nurses' professional knowledge and skills regarding administering medication to their clients, as well as from fundamental beliefs that drugs are solutions to distressing conditions, particularly physical pain and uncomfortable emotional states (Patrick, ; Solari‐Twadell, ). In this way, nurses' knowledge of the addictive nature of drugs and their deleterious effects may not serve as protective factors or deterrents to their misuse.…”

Problematic substance use (PSU) among nurses has wide-ranging adverse implications. A critical integrative literature review was conducted with an emphasis on building knowledge regarding the influence of structural factors within nurses' professional environments on nurses with PSU. Five thematic categories emerged: (i) access, (ii) stress, and (iii) attitudes as contributory factors, (iv) treatment policies for nurses with PSU, and (v) the culture of the nursing profession. Conclusions were that an overemphasis on individual culpability and failing predominates in the literature and that crucial knowledge gaps exist regarding the influence of structural factors on driving and shaping nurses' substance use.

“…Our next step was to review scholarly literature ( Ross, Berry, Smye, & Goldner, 2018 ). Dominant concepts used to explain nurses’ perspectives of substance-use problems, such as stigma ( Darbro, 2005 ), negative attitudes ( Howard & Chung, 2000 ), and the culture of the nursing profession ( Darbro & Malliarakis, 2013 ; Solari-Twadell, 1988 ) permeated much of the existing research. Numerous conceptualizations of substance-use problems were also offered, such as problematic substance use ( College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia, 2017 ), substance-use disorders ( Monroe, Vandoren, & Smith, 2011 ), addiction, and substance abuse 2 ( Monroe & Kenaga, 2010 ).…”

We undertook an institutional ethnography utilizing the expert knowledge of nurses who have experienced substance-use problems to discover: (a) What are the discourses embedded in the talk among nurses in their everyday work worlds that socially organize their substance-use practices and (b) how do those discourses manage these activities? Data collection included interviews, researcher reflexivity, and texts that were critically analyzed with a focus on institutional features. Analysis revealed dominant moralistic and individuated discourses in nurses’ workplace talk that socially organized their substance-use practices, subordinated and silenced experiences of work stress, and erased employers’ roles in managing working conditions. Conclusions included that nurses used substances in ways that enabled them to remain silent and keep working. Nurses’ education did not prepare them regarding nurses’ substance-use problems or managing emotional labor. Nurses viewed alcohol as an acceptable and encouraged coping strategy for nurses to manage emotional distress.
