“…This higher representation of males is consistent with previous studies of nurses (Steiger et al, 2006), and with general population studies (Conway et al, 2006). Finke et al (1996) reported that the largest cohort in their study of disciplined male nurses in Indiana were 26-35 years old, approximately 10 years younger than the predominate cohort in this current study. Given that Finke and colleagues' study was published 13 years prior to this current study, our findings could be seen as consistent with an aging male nursing population in Indiana.…”

“…Although Clark and Farnsworth (2006) reported that nearly half of the sample of nurses in their study, comprising 18% males and 81% females, were referred to the Idaho State Board of Nursing assistance program because of diversion, it is not clear what, if any, gender differences existed in their sample, making comparisons to their findings difficult. Finke et al (1996) reported that approximately one third of their sample had reported diverting drugs, but this study also did not differentiate gender differences, thus making comparisons spurious.…”

(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.

Substance abuse among nurses—Defining the issue

The prevalence of substance abuse in the nurse population is believed to parallel that in the general population (i.e. approximately 10%). Nurses with substance abuse problems need help. They are in danger of harming patients, the facility's reputation, the nursing profession, and themselves. The consequences of not reporting concerns can be far worse than those of reporting the issue. Part one of this two-part series discusses how society views addiction and the nursing profession, signs and symptoms of substance abuse, reasons nurses should report an impaired colleague, the code of silence that exists among nurses, and board of nursing jurisdiction.
