Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT Objectives: The overarching goal of this research was to identify how in-patient substance use disorder (SUD) consultations contribute to patient care. This qualitative research study aimed to (1) explore providers’ experiences with the inpatient consultation service and their perspectives on its success and/or where changes are needed. (2) Describe the process of coordinating inpatient SUD consultation as part of the care continuum and identify key service features. Method: Semistructured interview data were collected from 19 inpatient health care providers, and content was analyzed using a deductive approach informed by the Care Transitions Framework. Results: Key findings revealed that ACS was important for linking patients to resources and addiction expertise, and many providers feel anxious about managing these issues independently. Availability of resources and interprofessional collaboration were still areas where greater capacity was needed. Awareness of the service and attending to the acute, immediate needs of the inpatients impacted the use of ACS. Delays in consultations were also influenced by patient motivation and complex social factors. Although the intensity of inpatient care may offer a window of opportunity to engage patients, the ACS was underutilized; better communication and integration of care need to be explicit and supported. Conclusions: The findings emphasize the importance of the role of expert consultation for addictions and integrated SUD consultation and treatment through an established care pathway. The hospital setting offers a unique point of contact with people who may be experiencing SUD-related issues and in a state of readiness to address their addiction. Service accessibility, enhanced communication, and education were some of the recommendations to increase ACS reach and use within the hospital setting. Objectifs : L’objectif principal de cette recherche était d’identifier comment les consultations pour les troubles liés à l’utilisation de substances (TUS) chez les patients hospitalisés contribuent aux soins des patients. Cette étude qualitative visait à 1) Explorer les expériences des prestataires avec le service de consultation en milieu hospitalier et leurs points de vue sur son succès et/ou sur les changements nécessaires. 2) Décrire le processus de coordination de la consultation hospitalière sur les TUS dans le cadre du continuum de soins et identifier les principales caractéristiques du service. Méthode : Des données d’entretiens semi-structurés ont été recueillies auprès de dix-neuf prestataires de soins aux patients hospitalisés et leur contenu a été analysé à l’aide d’une approche déductive fondée sur le cadre des transitions de soins. Résultats : Les principales conclusions ont révélé que les Services de Consultation en Addiction (SCA) étaient importants pour relier les patients aux ressources et à l’expertise en matière d’addiction, et que de nombreux prestataires se sentent anxieux à l’idée de gérer ces questions de manière indépendante. La disponibilité des ressources et la collaboration interprofessionnelle restent des domaines où une plus grande capacité est nécessaire. La connaissance du service et la prise en charge des besoins aigus et immédiats des patients hospitalisés ont eu un impact sur l’utilisation des SCA. Les retards dans les consultations ont également été influencés par la motivation des patients et des facteurs sociaux complexes. Bien que l’intensité des soins aux patients hospitalisés puisse offrir une fenêtre d’opportunité pour impliquer les patients, les SCA ont été sous-utilisés ; une meilleure communication et l’intégration des soins doivent être explicites et soutenues. Conclusions : Les résultats soulignent l’importance du rôle de la consultation d’experts en addiction et du traitement intégrés des TUS dans le cadre d’un parcours de soins établi. Le milieu hospitalier offre un point de contact unique avec les personnes qui peuvent être confrontées à des problèmes liés aux TUS et qui sont prêtes à s’attaquer à leur dépendance. L’accessibilité des services, l’amélioration de la communication et de l'éducation sont quelques-unes des recommandations visant à accroître la portée et l’utilisation des SCA en milieu hospitalier.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
