Show moreThis dissertation reviews the multifaceted dimensions of male nurses in recovery from chemical dependency in the State of Florida's Intervention Project for Nurses Rehabilitation Program. These dimensions are not linear and fluctuation of the degree of intensity is individualized to the lived experience of the nurse. The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological research study was to understand the lived experience of male nurses who have successfully completed the rehabilitation phase and to determine themes that influenced their vulnerability to professional impairment. The study identified two overarching themes of person and profession. The major theme of person had three sub-themes of pre-determined risk, altered values, and sensation seeking behaviors. The major theme of profession had five sub-themes of masterminding, professional heteronomy, rehabilitation, getting caught, spirituality, and the nurse becoming the nursed. A model of professional impairment graphically depicts the interaction of these themes. Exploring the lived experiences of male nurses who have successfully rehabilitated from chemical dependency provided understanding and identification that can assist academic and clinical environments with prevention, education, and early intervention.
