The purpose of this study was to determine nurses' perceptions about substance abuse in professional colleagues, opinions about strategies for dealing with substance abuse, and knowledge about resources available for dealing with the problem of chemical impairment. Subjects included a convenience sample of 161 nurses from Western New York. Data were gathered by a questionnaire that included "The Perceptions of Nursing Impairment Inventory" and items regarding respondents' background characteristics, suspicions about alcohol and drug abuse in nurse colleagues, and knowledge about and use of peer assistance services available through District I of the New York State Nurses Association. The major outcome of the study was identification of a knowledge deficit on the extent of the substance abuse problem in nursing, ability to recognize an impaired colleague, and awareness of services available. These data substantiate the need for implementing educational programs to increase nurses' basic knowledge of, and sensitivity to, the problem of chemical dependency.
本研究的目的是确定护士对同事药物滥用问题的看法、应对药物滥用问题的策略观点以及处理化学物质成瘾问题可用资源的相关知识。研究对象包括来自纽约州西部的161名护士，采用便利抽样法选取。数据通过一份问卷收集，问卷包括“护理人员成瘾认知量表”以及关于受访者背景特征、对护士同事酒精和药物滥用的怀疑，以及通过纽约州护士协会第一区提供的同伴援助服务的知识和使用情况等项目。该研究的主要成果是发现护士在护理行业药物滥用问题的严重程度、识别受损同事的能力以及对可用服务的认知方面存在知识欠缺。这些数据证实了开展教育项目以增加护士对化学物质依赖问题的基本知识和敏感度的必要性。
