    Nurses experiencing pain may develop chemical dependency, leading to a self-destructive path. This grounded theory explores the stages and phases of this process in nursing professionals.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Psychology
    • Substance Abuse

    Background:

    • Chemical dependency is a significant issue among nurses.
    • Understanding the process nurses undergo is crucial for intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To generate a grounded theory explaining the process of chemical dependency in nurses.
    • To identify the stages and phases of self-annihilation for chemically dependent nurses.

    Main Methods:

    • Grounded theory approach using interviews and participant observation.
    • Data collection included case histories, interviews with nurses in recovery, regulatory body representatives, and self-help groups.
    • Observation of Board of Nursing hearings and probation monitoring.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Identified a trajectory of self-annihilation in nurses with chemical dependency.
    • Physical and/or psychological pain were identified as precursors to chemical dependency.
    • Detailed discussion of the stages and phases of the self-annihilation process.

    Conclusions:

    • Chemical dependency in nurses is a complex process often stemming from pain.
    • The self-annihilation trajectory requires further understanding for effective support and treatment.
    • This theory provides a framework for addressing chemical dependency in the nursing profession.
