Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not necessarily...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Public Health
Addiction Medicine

Background:

The opioid epidemic impacts diverse patient populations.
Healthcare provider stigma and bias towards substance use disorder (SUD) negatively affect patient care.
Addressing these biases is crucial for improving healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess first-year nursing students' knowledge and perceptions of opioid use disorder (OUD).
To implement an educational intervention aimed at reducing bias and increasing SUD knowledge.
To enhance understanding of multifaceted treatment strategies for OUD.

Main Methods:

An interactive, two-hour presentation based on the disease model of addiction was delivered.
Pre- and post-presentation surveys evaluated nursing students' perceptions of individuals with OUD.
Thematic analysis and t-tests were used to analyze survey data.

Main Results:

Thematic analysis revealed existing stigma and bias among some nursing students towards individuals with OUD.
A significant increase in mean scores was observed from pre- to post-test (t = -2.224, df = 429, p = .027).

Conclusions:

Educational interventions can effectively change knowledge and reduce bias regarding substance use disorder.
Improving healthcare provider attitudes can enhance the quality of care for vulnerable populations affected by the opioid epidemic.
