We are grateful for your interest in attending our 2nd Women and Addiction Group Summit: Compassionate Addiction Medicine: Whole person care for birthing people.


As part of the event’s registration, you are being asked to participate in a survey to provide us with understanding and guidance as to how we can optimize care for pregnant and parenting people with substance use disorder (SUD). Although you may find some of the questions embarrassing or awkward, your responses will guide us in our efforts to facilitate safe and compassionate care for opioid use in pregnancy providers and patients. No one person’s answers will be shared with others. Only the collective data will be used to inform care practices.


If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please email Vania (Vania.Rudolf@swedish.org) and/or Hendree (Hendree_jones@med.unc.edu)


Thank you!


 

Provider attitudes regarding patients with substance use disorder during the perinatal period - Pre-Conference Survey Prior to Training on the Supportive Pregnancy Care Manual   

 

Please answer the questions below with regard to your care of patients over all 4 trimesters (perinatal) patients with substance use disorder:

 

I get satisfaction from being able to help perinatal patients with substance use problems

 

I feel working with patients with substance use disorder is meaningful

 

I like my work with perinatal patients with substance use disorders

 

I am pleased with how I am able to stay up-to-date on best practices and protocols for treating perinatal patients with substance use problems

 

Working with perinatal patients who have substance use problems makes me feel satisfied and rewarded

 

I feel positive about treating perinatal patients with substance use problems and how I can help them

 

I believe I can make a difference for this population through my work

 

I am proud of what I can do to help

 

I feel I am a "successful" care giver when treating patients for substance use disorders during the perinatal period

 

I feel I have good knowledge about what to do to care for patients who have substance problems in the perinatal period

 

I feel competent when caring for patients who are using substances during the perinatal period and referring them to treatment

 

How much do you agree or disagree with the following statements?

 

I am more comfortable helping a patient during the perinatal period without substance use than one with substance use

 

If a pregnant patient with a substance problem complains of physical symptoms (e.g., nausea, back pain or headache), I would likely attribute this to her substance use

 

If I were under treatment for a substance use problem I would disclose this to my colleagues

 

I would be more inclined to seek help for substance use if my treating healthcare provider was not associated with my workplace

 

I would see myself as weak if I had a substance use problem and could not fix it myself

 

I would seek help if I had a substance use problem

 

I would still go to a physician if I knew that the physician had been treated for a substance use problem in the past

 

It is the responsibility of health care providers to inspire hope for recovery in patients with substance use problems

 

I have negative feelings and/or reactions towards people who have substance use problems

 

There is little I can do to help people with substance use problems during the perinatal period

 

Most pregnant/parenting people with substance use problems try hard to get better

 

Pregnant/parenting people with substance use problems pose a risk to their children

 

Medication (e.g., methadone or buprenorphine) is an effective treatment for opioid use disorder during the perinatal period

 

A person with an active substance use disorder should have their child removed from their care

 

Healthcare providers must be advocates for pregnant/parenting patients with substance use problems

 

I struggle to feel compassion for a pregnant/parenting person with a history of a substance use problem
