Opioid use disorder research and the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science priority areas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic diseases, such as opioid use disorder (OUD) require a multifaceted scientific approach to address their evolving complexity. The Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science's (Council) four nursing science priority areas (precision health; global health, determinants of health, and big data/data analytics) were established to provide a framework to address current complex health problems.

Purpose

To examine OUD research through the nursing science priority areas and evaluate the appropriateness of the priority areas as a framework for research on complex health conditions.

Method

OUD was used as an exemplar to explore the relevance of the nursing science priorities for future research.

Findings

Research in the four priority areas is advanc
