Meeting people where they are at : how nurses, using the framework of harm reduction, make sense of nursing practice with people who use drugsZettel, Patti 05 1900 (has links)
Nurses who work with people who use drugs in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver (DTES), British Columbia are on the forefront in advancing a harm reduction framework in very controversial, cutting-edge practice environments. The purpose of this study was to explore how these nurses, using the framework of harm reduction, make sense of their nursing practice. It is hoped that the results of this study may advance adopting a harm reduction framework in nursing practice, education and policy development and serve as the foundation for further nursing research.
This study utilized a qualitative interpretive descriptive methodology to gather data from eight nurses who work with people who use drugs in harm reduction practice environments. The nurses were divided into two focus groups and data was collected through a semi-structured focus group interview. Following initial data analysis, each focus group was reconvened and a second semi-structured group interview was held to clarify and to further discuss the emerging themes.
The data analysis proceeded simultaneously with the interviews utilizing a process of constant comparative analysis. I completed the thematic analysis as I moved between the transcripts and identified commonalties and variations within the emerging themes. Ultimately, I described one overarching theme, which encapsulated the range of experiences described by the nurses. The theme that I identified was: meeting people where they are at. The importance to the nurses of both the therapeutic nurse-client relationship and a commitment to praxis were apparent. In conclusion, the value the nurses placed on "meeting people where they are at" was integral in gaining an understanding of how they make sense of their nursing work.

Welcome Home: Impact and Effectiveness of the Dr. Peter Centre's Harm Reduction Model for Those Living With HIV/AIDS and who Use Illicit Drugs : Part of the Mixed Method Study Titled: A Mixed Method Evaluation of the Impact of the Dr. Peter Centre on Health Care Access and Outcomes for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS / Welcome Home: Impact and Effectiveness of the Dr. Peter Centre's Harm Reduction Model for Those Living With HIV/AIDS and who Use DrugsJeal, Bethany 22 January 2016 (has links)
The Dr. Peter Centre (DPC), an HIV care facility, provides integrated health care services incorporating harm reduction strategies as part of service provision. These services include a “Harm Reduction Room” for those members who inject drugs, to do so in a supervised environment. In this thesis, I explore the perspectives of DPC members on the harm reduction approach as part of a larger study titled A mixed Method Evaluation of the Impact of the Dr. Peter Centre on Health Care Access and Outcomes for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS who use Illicit Drugs. Thirty DPC members were recruited as part of the qualitative portion of the larger mixed-method study. One-on-one in depth interviews were conducted with each participant and audio-recorded and then transcribed verbatim. Participant narratives reflected positive experiences with nurses and other staff, and with the harm reduction philosophy at the DPC. Narratives from both participants who inject drugs and participants who do not inject drugs indicated support for the harm reduction room because of the safety it provides. Safety was related to reducing the direct harmful effects of injection drugs such as infection and overdose, and also to the refuge from the street and freedom from stigma of drug use that the DPC provides. Participant accounts expressed a sense of acceptance and belonging as a part of the community at the DPC highlighting the role of DPC in shifting drug use patterns. This thesis emphasizes that the harm reduction philosophy and the provision of harm reduction services at the DPC contributes to the overall health and well being of participants. / Graduate
