Exploring Preferences for Communication and Care Among Hospitalized Patients With Opioid Use Disorder: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
Effective, empathic communication, and shared decision making were favored by hospitalized patients with OUD and may be a way to improve treatment for hospitalized patients with OUD. Our findings underscore the need for stigma reduction strategies in clinical education and the expansion of both generalist resources for the treatment of OUD and specialized addiction care services.
