Introduction:
A harm reduction approach to opioid use disorder (OUD) and overdose prevention is effective in reducing risk of overdose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate nursing students' perceptions of OUD and harm reduction following participation in an opioid overdose prevention workshop.
Methods:
We conducted focus groups with undergraduate nursing students who participated in an opioid overdose prevention workshop.
Findings:
Themes elicited included improvement in stigma and perceptions of individuals with OUD, usefulness of harm reduction as an evidence-based intervention, and recognition of contributing factors to OUD.
Conclusions:
Nursing faculty should be cognizant of including content on OUD and harm reduction into curricula.
