Abstract
Background: Seventeen percent of individuals in the United States live with substance use disorder (SUD). Nursing curricula may not adequately address SUD, and stigma can impact care.
Purpose: This project aimed to measure stigma toward people with SUD among nursing students.
Methods: Surveys were administered to prelicensure nursing students. Stigma was measured using the Opening Minds Provider Attitudes Toward Opioid-Use Scale. Students were asked about personal experience with SUD and perceived adequacy of SUD-related curricula.
Results: A total of 193 students participated. The mean stigma score was 31.35. Those with personal experience had lower stigma scores than those without ([95% CI 2.26-9.23]; P value = .0014). Most students (71.0%) desired to see content from individuals with lived experience incorporated into curriculum.
Conclusion: Addressing stigma in SUD education is critical for improving future patient care. Nursing schools should consider incorporating stigma-reducing content, including perspectives from individuals with lived experiences, into SUD curricula.
背景:17%的美国人患有物质使用障碍(SUD)。护理课程可能没有充分解决SUD问题,而且耻辱感会影响护理。目的:本研究旨在了解护生对SUD患者的耻辱感。方法:对护生进行问卷调查。使用开放思想提供者对阿片类药物使用的态度量表来测量耻辱感。学生被问及与SUD相关课程的个人经历和是否足够。结果:共193名学生参与。平均污名得分为31.35分。有个人经历的人的污名得分低于没有个人经历的人([95% CI 2.26-9.23];P值= 0.0014)。大多数学生(71.0%)希望将个人生活经验的内容纳入课程。结论:解决SUD教育中的耻辱感是改善未来患者护理的关键。护理学校应考虑将减少耻辱感的内容,包括有生活经历的个人的观点纳入SUD课程。
