DescriptionPurpose of Project: Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and the stigma associated with it have greatly affected Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and Resident Registered Nurse Anesthetists (RRNAs). The overall purpose of this study was to evaluate if stigma reduction strategies, would provide awareness, educate the nurse anesthesia community, and ultimately reduce stigma.

Methodology: This study was a qualitative research design that incorporated an anti-stigma campaign the was presented to CRNAs and RRNAs at the local, state, and regional level. A pre- and post-implementation evaluation, known as the Perceived Stigma of Substance abuse Scale (PSAS), was utilized to evaluate stigma before and after the intervention.

Results: The results showed the mean difference between pre- and post-scores was 2.36 (SD 4.98), and it was statistically significant (p < 0.0001), suggesting that there is a high degree of certainty that a decrease in stigma was due to the intervention and not due to a chance alone.

Implications for Practice: These results indicate that an anti-stigma campaign can help reduce SUD related stigma in the nurse anesthesia community. By reducing the stigma associated with SUD and providing resources to the nurse anesthesia community, providers maybe more likely to utilize these resources. This will ultimately enhance clinical practice by reducing the risk of having impaired providers which translates into improving patient safety.
