Objectives:
Explore the interest of Canadian undergraduate and graduate nursing students in medical (MC) and recreational cannabis (RC) education.
Methods:
Transformative learning theory framed an online survey exploring sources of information; factors and learning modalities of increasing interest in learning about MC/RC; and future career plans regarding MC/RC in practice. Survey ran from September 2022 to February 2023. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were applied.
Results:
Respondents (n=153) disclosed knowledge gaps in MC/RC regulations (90 %), effectiveness (88 %), and dosing best practices (86 %). Exposure to clinical opportunities and virtual resources were stimulating learning factors.
Conclusions:
A socially responsive curriculum is crucial to engage nursing students in becoming more knowledgeable about this topic and understand the nurse's role in enhancing practice quality. Implications for International Audience - The evidence provides a proactive approach to nursing educators in countries where cannabis is legal or in the process of being legalized.
