Spirituality in Recovery From Substance Use Disorders
Abstract:
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are chronic health disorders with exacerbation rates of approximately 50%. Spirituality has been identified as a factor that can improve recovery rates. Various definitions of spirituality exist that include concepts of finding meaning and connection in life and contact with the divine or something larger than ourselves. Patients generally want to include spirituality as part of their health care but barriers often exist for health care providers to address it, including lack of confidence, knowledge, and organizational support, and time constraints. Nursing programs lack content related to spirituality and should increase course content on this subject to improve comfort levels and competencies of nurses. Keeping in mind professional boundaries and respecting patients' individual differences, nurses have the potential to help patients in their recovery journey by facilitating discussion and growth in spirituality. Nurses can also advocate for their patients by including spiritual leaders in integrated health care teams. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 58(9), 14-17.].
