Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Nursing Practice, Mount St. Joseph University, Department of Nursing.
Substance abuse is a chronic disease. The evidence shows that many nurses lack the knowledge, skills, attitudes and confidence needed to help those struggling with substance abuse and this ultimately impacts patient outcomes. This project asked the question: for newly graduated registered nurses hired as nursing residents on adult, inpatient units at a large health system hospital centralized in Northwest Ohio, how does a 30-minute live in-service on substance abuse impact these RNs’ perceived confidence in caring for patients with a history of substance abuse immediately and 30 days post-education in comparison to pre-education perceived confidence levels? In keeping with Knowles’ Principles of Adult Learning and supported by evidence, substance abuse education was created for the target audience. An evidence-based survey tool, the DDPPQ, was used before and after the education was presented in order to assess the participants’ confidence levels in caring for substance abuse patients. The analysis of the pre- and post-education survey results indicate that the participants’ confidence levels significantly increased after receiving the education. These results will be disseminated in a variety of ways and adapted for larger audiences.
