Barriers and Facilitators to Recruitment of a Multifaceted Population of Opioid Use Disorder Community Stakeholders.

Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) research is essential to inform evidence-based responses to the OUD crisis in the United States. Individuals with OUD, their caregivers, and support group leaders are historically difficult to recruit for research studies. The purpose of this study was to describe barriers and facilitators in recruitment during the implementation of a qualitative study that sought to explore stigma, barriers, and facilitators to healthcare.

Improving Nurses' Attitudes Toward Substance Use Disorder: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment.

Patients with substance use disorder (SUD) encounter many barriers to healthcare, including negative attitudes of healthcare personnel. Compared with other healthcare professions, nurses have been reported as having less tolerant attitudes toward patients with SUD. Knowledge acquisition combined with role support has been shown to improve therapeutic attitudes of nurses toward patients with SUD.

Perceived stigma, barriers, and facilitators experienced by members of the opioid use disorder community when seeking healthcare.

Introduction: Healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, have negative attitudes towards individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) and these attitudes can contribute to suboptimal care. The aim of this study was to identify stigma, barriers and facilitators experienced by members of the OUD community when interacting with the healthcare system.

Design: A qualitative exploratory design used semi-structured focus group interviews to address the study aim.

A theoretical framework to promote minority PhD and DNP student success in nursing education.

Background: Nursing PhD and DNP programs lack diversity and cultural responsiveness and, as a result, minority students are underrepresented in these programs. Stressors specific to being a member of a minority population, defined as minority stress, contribute to a range of barriers for ethnic/racial minority, male and LGBTQ PhD and DNP students. There is an urgent need for faculty and administrators to support minority doctoral student success by taking proactive steps to identify and begin to deconstruct these barriers.

Internet Recruitment of a Diverse Population of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Nurses in a Study of Substance Use and Minority Stress.

Introduction: There is a lack of lesbian, bisexual and gay (LGB)-focused nursing research, in part, because the population is traditionally difficult to access. This article explores the effectiveness, benefits, and limitations of online recruitment of a distinct population of LGB-identified nurses in a study of substance use and minority stress.

Methodology: A sample of nurses who self-identified as LGB were recruited for an online survey using organic Facebook outreach.

Substance Use and Minority Stress in a Population of Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Nurses.
