Abstract

Objective: Workers in industries with high rates of opioid dispensing as well as those with high rates of non-fatal work-related injuries are at greater risk for opioid misuse, which can lead to addiction, overdose, or death.

Methods: Using secondary cross-sectional data collected from 856 healthcare workers, this pilot study examines a conceptual model for workers' intentions to seek out prescription opioids and intentions to use opioids at higher doses over longer periods.

Results: Results showed significant protective effects of beliefs, injunctive and subjective norms, and behavioral control on intentions to seek out opioids. On intentions to use higher doses over a longer time, knowledge, beliefs, behavioral control, patient-provider communication, workplace safety, and workplace autonomy had significant protective effects.

Conclusions: Findings from this study could be used to inform future multilevel interventions to prevent opioid misuse among employee populations.

工作场所变量对工作人员滥用处方阿片类药物意向的影响。

目的：阿片类药物滥用率高的行业以及非致命工伤率高的工人滥用阿片类物质的风险更大，这可能导致成瘾、过量服用或死亡。方法：利用从856名医护人员那里收集的二次横断面数据，这项试点研究检验了一个概念模型，该模型反映了工作人员寻找处方阿片类药物的意图和在更长时间内以更高剂量使用阿片类药的意图。结果：结果显示，信念、禁令和主观规范以及行为控制对寻求阿片类药物的意图具有显著的保护作用。关于在更长时间内使用更高剂量的意图，知识、信念、行为控制、患者与提供者的沟通、工作场所安全和工作场所自主性具有显著的保护作用。结论：这项研究的结果可用于为未来的多层次干预措施提供信息，以防止员工人群中滥用阿片类药物。
