Abstract

Currently, over 5.7 million adults 65+ are projected to have a SUD, and the number of fatal overdose deaths among older adults is rising in both community and facility settings. This exploratory study involved surveys of 37 nursing facilities (NF) in Kentucky in order to identify current admission practices to screen, prevent, and/or address resident substance use. Respondents indicated that they were ill-equipped to address such problems and fail to offer specialized programs for residents or training for staff. Training and best practices for residents, their families, and staff should be established to address residents with substance use and SUD.

使用毒品的老年人:对护理机构政策和准备情况的检查。
目前,预计有超过 570 万名 65 岁以上的成年人患有药物滥用症,而在社区和护理机构中,老年人因药物过量致死的人数也在不断上升。这项探索性研究对肯塔基州的 37 家护理机构(NF)进行了调查,以确定目前的入院筛查、预防和/或解决住院患者药物使用问题的做法。受访者表示,他们没有能力解决此类问题,也没有为住户提供专门的计划或对员工进行培训。应为入住者、其家人和工作人员提供培训和最佳实践,以解决入住者使用药物和药物依赖性疾病的问题。

The journal"s broad, comprehensive approach is only one of its strengths—it presents training issues, research findings, case studies, practice and policy issues, book and media reviews, commentary, and historical background on a wide range of topics.
