Previous studies have shown that nurses have negative attitudes toward caring for patients with substance use disorder (SUD); these negative attitudes also have been noted with nursing students. This study examined nursing students' attitudes toward and empathy for patients with SUD to determine whether there were differences across practice settings.
Fifty-three students were surveyed before and after a 120-hour mentor-ship practicum; 25 students participated in focus groups.
Students' empathy scores improved significantly across all practice settings, and students' attitudes improved significantly in all settings except maternal child health. Qualitative analysis revealed themes related to perceived lack of educational preparation, observing generational differences in nursing care, transitioning from fear to empathy, familial exposure, and feelings of helplessness and blame.
Findings support the need for educational interventions in both academic and professional practice settings. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(3):149-153.].
先前的研究表明，护士对照顾物质使用障碍（SUD）患者持有消极态度；护理学生也存在这种消极态度。本研究旨在调查护理学生对 SUD 患者的态度和同理心，以确定在不同的实践环境中是否存在差异。
在 120 小时导师实习前后对 53 名学生进行了调查；25 名学生参加了焦点小组。
所有实践环境中的学生同理心得分均显著提高，除母婴健康环境外，所有环境中的学生态度也显著改善。定性分析揭示了与缺乏教育准备、观察护理中的代际差异、从恐惧到同理心的转变、家庭接触以及无助和责备的感觉相关的主题。
研究结果支持在学术和专业实践环境中都需要进行教育干预。[J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(3):149-153. ]。
