Abstract
Trusting relationships between pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders (SUDs) and maternity nurses can improve health outcomes for women and their infants. This study was conducted to identify factors associated with the formation of trust in these nurse–patient relationships. Using a qualitative description approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 women who used substances during pregnancy and 15 maternity nurses. The narratives were analyzed with standard content analytic techniques. Findings revealed that six characteristics of nurses and five characteristics of women fostered or hindered the formation of trusting relationships. The characteristics of the maternity nurses were (a) interpersonal connections, (b) demeanor toward women, (c) ways of providing care, (d) approaches to providing information, (e) attitudes toward substance use, and (f) addiction expertise. The characteristics of the women were (a) engagement with nurses, (b) demeanor toward nurses, (c) attitudes toward care, (d) investment in recovery, and (e) ways of interacting with infant. The characteristics provide a framework by which maternity nurses can examine their attitudes and behaviors toward women with SUDs and inform the development of strategies to enhance their practice with this population.
