Background: Medication misuse is a threat to public health and patient safety, and strategies to prevent medication misuse should be incorporated in nursing education.
Method: An interdisciplinary nursing and pharmacy team collaborated on a pilot project with graduate FNP students to adapt and evaluate a training program for pharmacy students on the prevention of medication misuse for nursing based on the publicly available online program Generation Rx.
Results: Of 39 students who participated in the training, 74% ( = 29) completed pre- and posttest surveys. Results showed the training program effectively improved participants' perceived skills and abilities related to Generation Rx and improved knowledge in certain areas about medication misuse.
Conclusion: Interdisciplinary collaboration brings new concepts and skills to nursing. This pilot project highlights the importance of addressing medication misuse in nursing education and serves as an example with lessons learned for future interdisciplinary educational efforts. .

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed medications for the management of acid-related disorders, due to their effectiveness and favorable pharmacokinetics. However, the occurrence and severity of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in patients using PPIs, particularly in relation to their association with polymorphisms, are of great concern. This association has largely been investigated through observational studies, which have shown conflicting or weak findings.

The global opioid crisis is a public health emergency characterized by the widespread misuse of opioid drugs, leading to high rates of addiction, overdose, and death. Initially driven by the over-prescription of opioid painkillers, it has evolved into a worldwide epidemic exacerbated by the rise of potent synthetic opioids. Benzimidazole opioids ('nitazenes') are one group within this class of compounds that have garnered increasing attention in recent years due to their addictive potential and growing presence in illicit drug markets.
