“Try Not to Judge”: Mothers of Substance Exposed Infants.
“Try not to judge”: mothers of substance exposed infants.
MCN Am J Matern Child Nurs. 2013 Jul-Aug; 38(4): 200-5
Cleveland LM, Gill SL
To describe the hospital experiences of mothers who give birth to substance-exposed infants.Secondary analysis of data from a larger study that was focused on the experiences of Mexican-American mothers in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was conducted. Semistructured interviews with five women who were recovering addicts on methadone were analyzed. Each of their infants spent time in an NICU following birth. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Four themes were identified: (a) “try not to judge,” (b) “scoring” the baby, (c) “share with me,” and (d) “I’m the mother here!”The quality of the relationship between the mothers and the nurses in the NICU was a crucial aspect of the mothers’ experiences and may have an effect on long-term outcomes. Women with addictions often have other significant risk factors that may further jeopardize their ability to mother; therefore, it is essential to develop a strong support network. Nurses can be instrumental in organizing resources for this population of women. Judging behaviors may have a detrimental effect on women with addictions. Maternal adaptation to the mothering role can be enhanced by making reasonable efforts to include the mother in the care of the infant.

Psychopathology and Pain Correlates of Dispositional Optimism in Methadone-Maintained Patients.
Psychopathology and pain correlates of dispositional optimism in methadone-maintained patients.
Am J Addict. 2012 Nov; 21 Suppl 1: S56-62
Beitel M, Savant JD, Cutter CJ, Peters S, Belisle N, Barry DT
Background and Objectives: Although higher levels of dispositional optimism are associated with decreased levels of psychopathology and pain, and higher levels of mental health functioning-important outcomes in opioid treatment programs-a paucity of studies has examined dispositional optimism among individuals with opioid use disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the clinical correlates (ie, psychopathology, pain status) of dispositional optimism in opioid dependent patients enrolled in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). Methods: A survey targeting demographics, pain, psychopathology, and dispositional optimism was administered to 150 MMT patients. Results: In multivariable analyses, higher levels of dispositional optimism were significantly associated with lower levels of: depression, screened personality disorder criteria, screened symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, and pain-related emotional strain. In comparison to those without a history of chronic pain (ie, noncancer related physical pain lasting at least 3 months), MMT patients who reported either lifetime or current chronic pain exhibited significantly lower levels of dispositional optimism. Conclusions and Scientific Significance: The associations among higher levels of dispositional optimism, lower levels of psychopathology, and lower pain-related emotional strain suggest that research focusing on the efficacy of specific interventions to promote dispositional optimism in MMT patients is warranted.
