“Substance use, or chemical dependency, among nursing personnel places patients

“Substance use, or chemical dependency, among nursing personnel places patients and the organization at risk. Such an employee adversely affects staff morale by increasing stress on other staff members when they have to assume heavier workloads to cover for the chemically dependent employee who is not performing at full capacity or who is often absent. As a result, patient care may be jeopardized because staff are focusing more on the problems of a coworker than on those of the patients” (Yoder-Wise & Sportsman, 2023, p. 451).
