Examining nurses’ attitudes toward patients who use substances in the hospital setting: A scoping review

This scoping review maps a growing but methodologically heterogeneous body of literature examining nurses' attitudes toward PWUS in hospital care. The findings highlight conceptual, methodological, and contextual gaps in the existing evidence, particularly related to organizational and macrolevel influences. These gaps highlight important directions for future research aimed at advancing a more comprehensive understanding of nurses' attitudes within hospital-based substance use care.
