1Department of Interventional Cardiology, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
Chemical dependency among nurses is a complex professional and ethical dilemma confronting the nursing profession. The article reports a descriptive study conducted to identify the support systems perceived to be supportive to nurses recovering from chemical dependency. Attitudes, beliefs, and identified support systems were examined using the Norbeck Social Support Questionnaire, the Miller Recovering Nurse Self-Report Questionnaire, and the Miller Targeted Sociogram. Recovering registered nurses identified counselors/ therapists and friends as most supportive during recovery. Conversely, family members/relatives were perceived as least supportive by recovering nurses.
