Nurse alternative-to-discipline programs aim to protect the public from the harm of impaired practice and to support nurses in early recovery from substance use disorders. Supervisor observation of work behavior is one key monitoring activity that protects the public. We evaluate a supervisory training called "Fit to Perform" for nurse managers to help them monitor and manage nurses enrolled in an alternative-to-discipline program. We observed significant mean changes in knowledge, training utility, self-efficacy, and substance abuse stigma. The results suggest that the training positively affects knowledge about substance use disorders, confidence to supervise nurses enrolled in an alternative-to-discipline program, and reduces stigma, which may create a supportive workplace for nurses in recovery.
护士纪律替代项目旨在保护公众免受执业能力受损的危害,并支持护士从物质使用障碍中早日康复。主管对工作行为的观察是保护公众的一项关键监测活动。我们评估了一项名为“适合工作”的主管培训,以帮助护士经理监督和管理参加纪律替代项目的护士。我们观察到在知识、培训效用、自我效能和药物滥用污名方面有显著的平均变化。结果表明,该培训对物质使用障碍的知识、监督参加纪律替代项目护士的信心有积极影响,并减少了污名,这可能为康复中的护士创造一个支持性的工作场所。
