Assessing for Alcohol Use Disorders in Women: Experiences of Advanced Practice Nurses in Primary Care Settings
Abstract
Alcohol use disorders (AUD) in women patients are frequently missed in primary care settings. This study explores common assessment practices by advanced practice nurses prescribers (APNPs) in one Midwestern state. Transcribed, in-depth interviews with 23 APNPs were analyzed using Heideggerian hermeneutic research methods. Two patterns emerged from an overarching idea of Becoming Aware: 1) Recognizing Alcohol in Everyday Life and 2) Attending to HERStory. The first pattern revealed ways nurses approach and think about assessing for AUD in women. The second pattern revealed practices of listening and responding to women's unique and complex stories. Findings inform education and practice by raising new questions and suggesting possibilities for education and research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
