Why Health-care Professionals Often Do Not Ask for Help: Understanding the Stigma Associated with Substance Use
1Department of Anesthesiology, The Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ, USA.
Abstract:
Substance use disorder is often met with stigma, which delays the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Health-care professionals are no exception, and likely face greater barriers than the general public in getting help. As trusted professionals who serve the public, nurses and doctors are rewarded for being strong, resilient, unbreakable, and dependable. Solutions to stopping the stigma start with education, advocacy, support and a look into one's own prejudices. Clear workplace and licensing guidelines that focus on treatment rather than punishment contributes to successful rehabilitation of the health-care professional including return to work and ultimately public safety.
