  • Public Health
  • Addiction Research

Background:

  • Substance abuse among nurses poses risks to patient safety and healthcare environments.
  • Undergraduate years are a critical period for the onset of substance use behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of past-year substance use among student nurses.
  • To explore correlations between substance use and demographic/academic factors in student nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational study design.
  • Survey Monkey used to collect past-year substance use data from 4,033 National Student Nurses' Association members.
  • Exploratory data analysis and logistic regression for response analysis.

Main Results:

  • 61% of student nurses reported binge drinking; 18% used marijuana; 5% used other illegal drugs.
  • 8% misused stimulants for academic performance; 10% misused prescription pills.
  • Younger (<28), White, male, US-born, and single students reported higher substance misuse.

Conclusions:

  • Student nurses exhibit lower drug use than college peers but higher binge drinking rates.
  • Further research on substance education throughout nursing programs is recommended.
  • Developing faculty ability to identify at-risk students is crucial for early intervention.
