A satisfaction survey on distance education: a model for educating nurses in the cognitive treatment of patients with addictive disorders.
Nurses need to be educated and trained in the assessment and treatment of substance abuse, because 25% to 50% of their patients struggle with this problem. Cognitive therapy takes a problem-solving approach and can be used independently, or in conjunction with, psychopharmacological or 12-step programs. Course participants who made use of the distant education format found the information they learned helpful in their current practice.
