Morbidity and mortality associated from opioid use have been on the rise, exemplifying a major public health epidemic. Despite public health interventions, opioid-related morbidity and mortality have yet to plateau or decrease. One explanation for this phenomenon is the presence of barriers to evidence-based pharmacotherapies. Stigma has only recently been identified as a barrier to treatment. The purpose of this report is to evaluate language utilized to describe opioid use disorder and associated pharmacological treatment. Nurse practitioners must emerge as leaders in assuring that patient-centered and non-stigmatizing language is utilized, in order to improve patient outcomes.
与阿片类药物使用相关的发病率和死亡率一直在上升，这是一场重大的公共卫生流行病的例证。尽管有公共卫生干预措施，但与阿片类药物相关的发病率和死亡率尚未达到平稳状态或下降。对这一现象的一种解释是循证药物治疗存在障碍。耻辱感直到最近才被确定为治疗的障碍。本报告的目的是评估用于描述阿片类药物使用障碍及相关药物治疗的语言。执业护士必须成为领导者，确保使用以患者为中心且无耻辱感的语言，以改善患者的治疗效果。
