Workplace Access, Negative Proscriptions, Job Strain, and Substance Use in Registered Nurses

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Both occupational conditions and individual factors have been shown as contributors to the likelihood of substance use among health professionals. OBJECTIVES: To assess the use of Winick's (1974) model for explaining nurses' substance use, which asserts that groups with access to substances, freedom from negative proscriptions, and role strain have an increased likelihood of drug dependence. METHODS: Data were analyzed from the 3,600 working nurses participating in the Nurses Worklife and Health Study, a nationally representative survey of registered nurses in the United States. A structural equation model was tested fitting workplace access to substances (availability, frequency of administration, and knowledge), freedom from negative proscriptions (internal: religiosity; external: social network), and role strain (job demands and depressive symptoms) to the frequency of past year alcohol, marijuana/cocaine, and prescription-type drug use. RESULTS: Nurses were more likely to use substances when workplace access to substances increased (p < 0.001), with social networks containing more drug users, and when religiosity decreased (p < 0.001). Role strain (measured through job demands and depressive symptoms) also was related to substance use. Depressive symptoms were related directly and negatively to substance use (p < 0.01), whereas job demands were related indirectly to substance use through depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Winick's model has use in explaining nurses' substance use. Research and preventive initiatives should consider the multidimensional aspects of substance use in nurses.

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.
