Summary
An educational video significantly improved nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward people with opioid use disorders (OUD). This intervention can help reduce stigma and enhance care for individuals with OUD.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Public Health
- Addiction Medicine
Background:
- A significant treatment gap exists for community members with opioid use disorders (OUD).
- Stigma and limited knowledge of community resources hinder access to care for individuals with OUD.
- Nursing students represent a potential resource to address this gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effect of an educational video on nursing students' knowledge and attitudes regarding people with OUD.
- To assess changes in both prelicensure and postlicensure nursing students.
Main Methods:
- A pre-post study design was employed.
- 406 nursing students viewed an educational video.
- Knowledge and attitudes were measured using an online survey, including demographic information, an 8-item Knowledge and Attitudes survey, and the Drug and Drug Problems Perceptions Questionnaire.
Main Results:
- The educational video led to a statistically significant positive improvement in nursing students' knowledge.
- Attitudes toward people with OUD also showed significant positive improvement post-video.
- The intervention effectively enhanced understanding and perception among nursing students.
Conclusions:
- Educational interventions for nursing students regarding OUD are effective.
- Training can reduce stigma associated with OUD.
- Improved knowledge and attitudes among nurses can lead to better patient care for those with OUD.

01:20Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners
779
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...

01:15Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids
831
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

01:22Opioid Receptors: Overview
3.7K
Opioid receptors, including the mu (μ, MOR), delta (δ, DOR), and kappa (κ, KOR) types, belong to the rhodopsin family of G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors are located throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and in non-neuronal tissues such as macrophages and astrocytes. Opioid receptor ligands can be categorized into agonists or antagonists. Highly selective agonists include [d-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly(ol)5]-enkephalin or DAMGO for MOR, [D-Pen2,...

Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
1.4K
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
