Tiivistelmä
The objective of this review was to assess evidence systematically and critically on nurses’ attitudes and challenges regarding alcohol abuse disorder patients and increase knowledge and awareness among nurses and nursing students about the care of persons with alcohol abuse disorder.
A qualitative systematic literature review method was used to conduct the study. Four electronic bibliographic databases covering the years 2013–2023 were thoroughly searched for literature. Katie Eriksson’s theory of Caritative care and the theory of novice to expert by Patricia Benner were used.
The eight (8) studies considered fully relevant for this review address issues on nurses’ attitudes and challenges on alcohol use disorder patients. However, most studies highlighted that addictive nurses face numerous challenges such as high-rate readmissions, and aggressive behaviors from the patients, leading to new graduate nurses stigmatizing these patients as worthless people. Most studies uncovered that new nursing graduates are not well prepared to interact and care for these patients, due to poor clinical exposure time, whereas older nurses are more confident to handle the tasks despite the aggressive behaviors and high readmission rate of some of these patients.
Notwithstanding these difficulties, the evaluation concluded that during clinical training, trainees ought to have the chance to engage with patients who suffer from alcohol use disorders. Second, the unit managers must intervene and ensure that their staff members receive sufficient support to gain the necessary training and experience to improve the quality of patient care.
