- Addiction Science
- Nursing Practice
Background:
- Parenting styles and early childhood experiences significantly influence the onset of substance use.
- Understanding these factors is key to developing effective prevention strategies.

- Data analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's constant comparison method.
Main Results:
- Identified key themes: childhood trauma, poor parenting, lack of knowledge/tolerance towards drug use, and parental "turning a blind eye."
- Highlighted nurses' limited experience and unclear role definition in drug use prevention.
- Revealed systemic issues hindering effective nurse-led prevention efforts.
