COMPETENCIES FOR NURSING CARE OF PATIENTS WITH SUBSTANCE RELATED DISORDERS Madeline A. Naegle1,
Nurses and midwives, the largest group of providers, deliver basic and specialty healthcare
worldwide. They are uniquely positioned to deliver interventions for drug use, abuse and dependence. Few provide such care however, because their basic educations lacked information and clinical teaching on drug use, treatment of addictions and health. This paper identifies nursing competencies, and gives suggestions for strategies for their development. Competencies development for nurse generalists and nurse specialists should be based on current nursing and other scientific evidence from research studies, consensus statements and practice guidelines. Exemplars of evidence based interventions are described. For purposes of this paper, alcohol is identified as such; “drugs” refers to nicotine, illegal and prescription drugs. Key words: nursing care, patients, substance-related disorders
COMPETÊNCIAS PARA A ASSISTÊNCIA DE ENFERMAGEM A PACIENTES COM TRANSTORNOS RELACIONADOS AO USO DE SUBSTÂNCIAS
Enfermeiros e parteiras, que constituem o maior grupo de profissionais da saúde, prestam
assistência básica e especializada ao redor do mundo. Têm potencial único com vistas a intervenções em casos de uso, abuso e dependência de drogas. Contudo, poucos entre eles prestam essa assistência porque, na sua educação básica, faltaram informações e ensino clínico sobre o uso de drogas, tratamento de dependências e saúde. Este artigo identifica competências de enfermagem e sugere estratégias para seu desenvolvimento. O desenvolvimento de competências entre profissionais gerais e especializados deve ser baseado em evidências atuais de enfermagem e outras áreas da ciência, provenientes de pesquisas, declarações de consenso e diretrizes. São descritos exemplos de intervenções baseadas em evidências. Para fins deste artigo, o álcool é identificado como tal, e “drogas” diz respeito à nicotina, drogas ilícitas e prescritas.

Nurses and midwives are frontline providers of basic and specialty healthcare
worldwide. In many regions, they are the only individuals knowledgeable about health
promotion and illness care. Because nurses and midwives are the largest group of
providers, they are uniquely positioned to deliver interventions for drug use, abuse and
dependence. Many are reluctant to provide such care however, because their basic
educations did not include information and clinical experiences on the drug use, treatment
of addictions and health implications of substance use. This paper identifies nursing
competencies, and limited suggestions for strategies for there development. Competencies
development should be based on current nursing and other scientific evidence from
research studies, consensus statements and practice guidelines. Three evidence based
interventions which are exemplars of these resources are described. Competencies are
identified for nurse generalists and nurse specialists employed across settings where
patients using alcohol, tobacco and other drug are treated. For purposes of this paper,
alcohol is identified as such; “drugs” refers to nicotine, illegal and prescription drugs.
The Need for Nursing SRD Competencies
The prevention, acute and long term treatment of substance related disorders are
relevant to all areas of nursing practice as the majority of persons using alcohol and other
drug in ways that place them at risk for health care problems never receive specialized
treatment. Most physicians, nurses and social workers treat users of substance in primary
care, maternity or acute care settings without recognizing the need for intervention with
the use of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. If a problem is reported or evident, practitioners
often feel they have neither the time nor the skills to address it(1). Recent reviews of the
_____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
literature reveal how similar alcohol and drug dependence is to other chronic diseases
treated by nurses and physicians. Drug and alcohol dependencies are similarly diagnosed,
show strong indicators that they are inherited, and have etiologies, pathophysiology and
treatment responses like those of chronic medical illnesses. Two prominent examples are
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Asthma and hypertension(2).
The availability of certain drugs varies by geographic region and cultural customs
generally govern the amount and types of drugs used, who uses drugs and under what
circumstances drug use (including smoking and drinking) are acceptable(3). Global trends
in drugs use affect millions of people. Among selected risk factors for the global burden of
disease and injury, tobacco ranks fourth and alcohol fifth, with nicotine the most widely
used and most addictive of drugs in industrialized and developing countries. While
cigarette smoking has decreased in the last 30 years, it continues in prevalence ranging
from 19.5 % [Australia] to 72.9% [Russian Federation](4); use in many countries hovers
around 30% of the population. Tobacco use, highest in Chile and Argentina (45% men and
35% of women) causes approximately 1/3 of deaths from heart disease and cancer in the
Latin American region(4). By 2020, it is anticipated that 1.6 billion people in the world
will be using tobacco(4). Smoking cessation treatment when delivered by health care
providers, significantly increases abstinence rates(5), yet many providers do not utilized
recently developed evidence- based interventions for smoking cessation.
Alcohol use is worldwide and while it is declining in most developed countries, it is
rising in many developing countries. Per capita consumption is highest in Slovenia [15.15
liters/adult: 15+ yrs] and lowest in Indonesia [0.13 liters](6) and patterns of heavy drinking
exist in most countries(4). In the 30 countries of the Americas, habitual drinkers are a
relatively small proportion of the population (10%), but they drink half of the alcohol
_____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
consumed. Estimates of alcohol consumption are further deemed inaccurate because
clandestine production and/or production for home use often doubles or triples that
recorded. In Brazil, for example, clandestine production triples the country’s estimated per
capita consumption(7). As with tobacco, men are the largest consumers of alcohol and
drugs worldwide. They develop alcohol use disorders in a ratio of 5:1 men to women, a
ratio that varies by culture. Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug worldwide,
with highest use in developed countries. In the regions of the Americas, lifetime marijuana
use ranges from 2% in Paraguay, to 17% in Chile to a high of 35% in the United States(7).
Cocaine is the 2nd most commonly used drug in the Southern Cone and its use is linked
with HIV-AIDS. An estimated 5 million people in 121 countries who are injectors of
illicit many also have HIV, and in Latin America 1.3 million people are infected with HIV
and the number is growing(7). Drug use is also linked with failure to finish school many
countries. For example, failure to complete school is evidenced in Chile, where 20% of
students use illegal drugs, and in Peru (21%)(7). Additional trends are amphetamine-type
stimulant use, which is growing. The breadth of the health and social problems linked to
alcohol, tobacco and drug use suggest that all practicing nurses need to know something
about the health effects and the treatment of drug and alcohol abuse, misuse and
Substance Related Disorders Competencies and their Development
The attitudes, knowledge and skills which are the foundation for the development of
competencies by nurses in generalist and specialist roles correspond to those recommended
for other health professional groups as well(1). Recent progress in documenting the
prevalence of alcohol and other drug related disorders provides new directions for
_____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
education and practice by all health disciplines. From the policy perspective, WHO, as
well, has published Guiding Principles on Drug Demand Reduction aimed at preventing
the use of drugs and reducing the adverse consequences of drug abuse. WHO has called
for United Nations members to adopt measures to eliminate and/or reduce illicit demand
for narcotic and psychotropic substances. WHO Strategies to Reduce Illness and Disability
provide a baseline for interventions in all world regions and are reference points for
nursing and midwifery education, legislative action, research and practice. These strategies
counseling and access to services and opportunities to achieve social integration
medical detoxification and long term identification and management of risk of
infectious disease and other care to decrease risk of relapse(8)
In order to effectively deliver care, nurses need not only knowledge, but the skill in
practice. This combination is evidenced in competencies. Competency based education
is an integrated program of competency based outcomes, interactive learning methods and
performance assessment tools which focus on the abilities for practice of a discipline(9).
Competencies describe behaviors measured in performance assessment methods focused
on a constellation of abilities. Educational programs can use a range of learning models
and include specific and objective performance validation of the specific competency
outcomes achieved. The trend in competency based education and evaluation has been
embraced in both baccalaureate and master’s programs in nursing at New York University.
_____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
The competencies for nursing care of substance related disorders reflect the
consensus of American nurse educators and specialists in addictions nurse whose practices
are guided by the American Nurses’ Association Scope and Standards for Addictions
Nursing (2004) and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioners Standards for
Psychiatric-mental Health Nurse Practitioners (2004). Competencies are developed in
evidence-based approaches to alcohol, tobacco and drug problems as means of achieving
patient outcomes. Evidence based approaches, as available, should be central to nursing
and midwifery educational programs. Programming also includes content from the basic
and social sciences, standards for care and practice guidelines developed in nursing and
Competencies in Substance Related Disorders for Nurse Generalists
In the face of growing worldwide nursing shortage health care initiatives which
expand the scope of nursing activities may be viewed as unwelcome challenges by
practitioners who already feel overburdened by multiple demands and too few personnel.
Therefore, competencies for dealing with substance related disorders should parallel
knowledge, skills and competencies in other areas of nursing for health promotion and
illness care. When the overriding competencies exist, adding knowledge about alcohol,
tobacco and drugs can expand the scope of practice. For example, all basic nurses learn
health assessment. In many programs, however, assessment for drug, tobacco and alcohol
use is not included. Adding a nursing history for each of these drug use behaviors is a
method for obtaining knowledge from which to formulate nursing interventions based on
the nurse’s knowledge of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. Within basic nursing
_____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
education, didactic content and clinical experiences should support the development of
nursing competencies which include: ability to identify one’s own attitudes and values about alcohol and other drug demonstration of knowledge of cultural differences in alcohol and drug use. identification and screening for a substance use/misuse/dependence disorder. completion of assessment of a substance use/misuse/dependence disorder through

practice at the advanced level and need to be competent to intervene with the psychosocial
and physiologic aspects of addiction to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs(11). The American
organization, National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF), has
identified Psychiatric-mental Health Nurse Practitioner competencies which provide a
framework for competencies specific to advanced practice nursing care of persons with
substance related disorders. Theses more inclusive competencies build upon those of the
basic preparation. The competency categories below are specific for care of the client with
NONPF PMH Competencies Specific Substance Related Disorder (Modified by author, 2006) I. a. Assessment

Content for Incorporation into Nursing Curricula _____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
Content basic to the development of competencies in the care of persons with
substance related disorders derives from basic and advanced science courses such as
chemistry, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. Behavioral and social
sciences provide additional important constructs. There is now a large body of research on
the etiology of alcohol and drug use, the prevention of drug related disorders, the effects of
drug use on health, and the effective treatment of alcohol, tobacco and other drug
dependence. Substance Related Disorder (SRD) content specific to specialty and/or
advanced practice, i.e. midwifery, acute care, adult health, psychiatric-mental health theory
and practicum should include research based nursing interventions, standards of nursing
care for addictions nursing as well as standards for the respective specialties, and policies
and practices used by nursing in the practice of caring for clients with SRDs. Newer
evidence-based practices (Tables 3, 4, 5) should be included as appropriate to levels of
nursing intervention and interventions appropriate to various care delivery settings should
be taught and implemented in practicum/clinical seminar courses. Competency evaluation
should be specific to the specialty and should be collaborative among student, preceptor
and course professors. Standardized clinical performance evaluation forms should be used
Models for Content Presentation
In recognizing the need for students to gain competencies in caring for persons with
substance related disorders, schools of nursing have developed approaches to including
_____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
the inclusion of the requirement for learning modules about substance related
disorders in courses on adult health, psychiatric-mental health, pediatric, geriatrics, etc.,
a three course sequence for basic, intermediate and practicum levels of student
integration of SRD content into existing required courses,
development of clinical placement (internships) in clinics, long term rehabilitation
centers, detoxification units and emergency departments where students can apply theory
The success of these approaches is highly dependent on the support of the
administration of the nursing program and efforts to emphasize the importance of nurses’
gaining competencies in this area of health care.
Teaching Strategies
Teaching strategies will increase student and faculty interest and sense of mastery
over substance related disorders knowledge include:
content development and evaluation in didactic courses (see above)
evaluation of clinical performance through the measurement of competencies.
OSCE Objective Simulated Clinical examinations
_____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
Inclusion of evidence-based practice research applications, scientific
literature searches, and protocol development.
Use of case studies drawn from student clinical experiences.
Consumer participation in group meetings with students, panel
presentations and attendance at 12 step community based programs.
Use of trained “simulated patients” who work with students in learning
assessment and education of students. Using prepared scripts, actors respond to student
inquiries, give feedback and assist with student learning.
Content regarding alcohol, drug and tobacco dependence treatment is available from
numerous electronic and paper resources. In the last decade, numerous books and journals
have been published related to the identification and treatment, as well as social
implications of drug and alcohol use worldwide. There are fewer resources which derive
nursing interventions and standards for nursing performance from the new evidence- based
treatment approaches. Some teaching strategies which draw on available resources include:
use of electronic and online learning courses which are didactic and interactive,
accessing established alcohol, tobacco and other drug curricula such as
www.Projectmainstream.net, which has developed learning modules on specific topics,
related to addiction prevention and care. Additional resources are noted in the references
CONCLUSIONS
The use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs is widespread throughout the world. In
the Americas, such use is closely linked to health problems of addiction, cancer,
_____________________________ SMAD Número Artigo Volume 2 Numero 1 Artículo 03 http://www2.eerp.usp.br/resmad/artigos.asp 2006 Volumen Number Article
cardiovascular disease, and HIV-AIDS. Nursing education programs should be preparing
graduates to care for patients and families experiencing problems related to substance use
as well as the illnesses with are the primary and/or secondary consequences of use. The
competencies for nurse generalists and nurse specialists which support the prevention of
substance related disorders and treat their manifestations have been identified and can be
modified by countries and regions where patterns and health problems linked to substance
use differ. The importance of using interventions which are evidence-based and modified
to the cultural needs of populations remains key in the educational process.
