Assignment: Screening, Brief Intervention, And Referral To Treatment Presentation
Purpose
Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based practice intervention used to identify, reduce, and prevent problematic use, abuse, and dependence on substances such as tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. The SBIRT model was incited by an Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendation that called for community-based screening for health-risk behaviors. The purpose of this assignment is to integrate SBIRT into nursing practice to help stimulate positive change at the individual and population-focused level of care.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following Course Outcomes (COs).
• Plan prevention and population-focused interventions for vulnerable populations using professional clinical judgment and evidence-based practice.
• Evaluate the delivery of care for individuals, families, aggregates, and communities based on theories and principles of nursing and related disciplines.
Background information
SBIRT consists of three major components.
1. Screening-A healthcare professional assesses a patient for concerning behaviors using standardized screening tools. Screening can occur in any healthcare setting.
2. Brief Intervention-A healthcare professional engages a patient in a short conversation, providing feedback and advice regarding concerning behaviors.
3. Referral to Treatment-A healthcare professional provides a referral to resources and/or treatment options and additional services available (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], n.d.)
Directions
1. Prior to starting the presentation, you are to read the assigned training. SBIRT Education. (n.d.). "Overview of screening, assessment and brief intervention: A nursing response to the full spectrum of substance use".
• Choose "Watch On-Demand Recording"
• Start at minute 9:08/slide 12 and end at 1 hr 27 sec (slide 80)
Or you may go directly to the YouTube video:
SBIRT Education. (2015, May 10). Overview of SBIRT: A nursing response to the full spectrum of substance use [Video File].
Use this BNI checklist for the role play at the end: BNI Checklist. SBIRT Education. (n.d.). Brief negotiated interview checklist [PDF Document].
You are encouraged to review the assignment tutorial found at the end of the Academic Integrity Reminder.
1. Next, choose one addiction or problem to focus on for this assignment from the options below.
o Nicotine (all tobacco and electronic nicotine delivery systems)
o Alcohol
o Drug use (addictive prescription or illicit)
- You must be specific to which drug you are choosing
2. You are required to use one of the problems listed above. Assignments that do not follow the current guidelines or use the required forms or templates will be evaluated for evidence of an academic integrity violation. After the due date, there will be no opportunity for revision or resubmission of assignments that have been uploaded to the submission area. It is your responsibility to submit the correct assignment to the correct submission area.
3. After you have chosen the addiction/problem, you are to research SBIRT training specific to that addiction/problem. Before starting to work on the presentation, it is vital you understand how SBIRT is used with that particular addiction/problem. You must find at least two scholarly resources (other than readings assigned in the course) and one video resource. Search YouTube for one SBIRT training video from a reputable source that shows a provider using SBIRT with a patient. Watch this video so that you understand the steps of SBIRT.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
