Abstract

 This research and development (R&D) study aimed to: (1) analyze the challenges and requirements for teaching biopsychosocial and spiritual nursing in cannabis science with an interdisciplinary approach for profes sional nurse curricula, termed “Cannabinoid nursing”; (2) examine senior professional nurses’ attitudes towards incorporating cannabinoid nursing into the nursing curriculum; (3) develop a cannabinoid nursing instructional system; and (4) evaluate the effectiveness of the developed cannabinoid nursing teaching program. Key findings include: Registered and senior professional nurses demonstrated limited knowledge and interest in cannabis, often perceiving it solely as a narcotic drug, with minimal understanding of cannabis poisoning care. Participants agreed that cannabinoid nursing should be integrated into the curriculum, specifically within palliative nursing care, and offered as continuing education post-graduation to align with international professional standards. An interdisciplinary approach to cannabinoid nursing education was developed, based on biopsychosocial and spiritual nursing
principles, utilizing a seven-step educational model. A pilot study with 45 registered nurses and 1 dentist revealed a statistically significant increase in knowledge (p<0.01) following the training program. Participants reported improved attitudes towards cannabis, increased confidence, and greater awareness of its medical applications.
