“…Analysis of a national sample of publicly funded substance abuse programmes in the USA, for example, reported completion rates of 65% for residential programmes and 52% for outpatient settings 53. It has previously been suggested that professionals in programmes are highly engaged and committed to remain in their profession, resulting in high recovery rates 25. The unique core approach of PHPs compared with regular treatment approaches might also contribute to these positive results, with a previous study suggesting that outcomes for PHPs are much superior than other forms of addiction treatment 6.…”

The literature is dominated by outcomes for physicians in North American programmes, with positive outcomes for SUD and varying outcomes for dyscompetence. Based on our findings we cannot make valid comparisons in outcomes between professions and specific performance concerns, and we call for other programmes to report on outcomes for different professions and concerns. Because of the positive outcomes of physician health programmes, other countries should consider introducing similar programmes to support healthcare professionals getting back on track.

“…According to the National State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), 44 states including the District of Columbia have alternative to discipline programmes. The NCSBN defines alternative to discipline programmes as, ‘programs to enhance a board of nursing's ability to quickly assure public protection by promoting earlier identification, requiring immediate removal from the workplace, and evidence‐based treatment for nurses with substance use disorder (NCSBN, ).’ While others have described PHAPs (e.g., Stone, Quinlan, Rice, & Wright, ), published data on the prevalence of nurses enrolled in these programmes (e.g., Monroe, Kenaga, Dietrich, Carter, & Cowan, ) and have reported on studies focusing on experiences of nurses in them (e.g., Fogger & McGuinness, ) and re‐entry into the workplace (Cook, ; Mumba, ), there is a limited body of evidence on nurses who have participated in a PHAP. One exception is a 2010 survey of nurses participating in the PHAP (Cares, Pace, Denious, & Crane, ) which is the focus of the current survey.…”

Aim To provide recommendations for nursing management based on the experiences of current and former nurses who were served by a peer health assistance program (PHAP). Background Providing help for nurses with impaired practice is critical to their health and well‐being, assuring patient safety and public trust, as well as returning competent nurses to the healthcare workforce. Methods Nurses (n = 268) who were current clients or former clients of a PHAP were surveyed about their experiences. Results Nearly half of nurses were referred by the board of nursing with 69% reporting the referral was due to substance use, alcohol being the most common. Most (62%) did not believe that their substance use affected their practice yet relayed that recognition of their emotional or physical condition could have led to earlier identification. Key barriers to seeking assistance were fear and embarrassment, along with concerns about losing their nursing license. Conclusions Nurses in management are in key roles to identify and intervene with nurses who are at risk for impaired practice. Implications for Nursing Management Nurses in management and nurse colleagues would benefit from workplace education on the warning signs of impaired nursing practice and how to address it.
