Abstract
- Craving in the context of substance addiction is considered an important predictor of substance addictive disorders and relapse risk. Behavior therapy, mindfulness, and exercise may be employed clinically to alleviate cravings. However, many scholars have offered various interpretations of craving in substance addiction. Despite these definitions sharing some overlapping elements, a consensus has yet to be reached. Although many studies have presented the effects of and interventions for craving to alleviate substance addiction, this issue has rarely been explored in the clinical nursing context, resulting in a lack of understanding of the concept of craving in substance addiction among nursing professionals. Therefore, based on the conceptual analysis approach proposed by Walker and Avant (2019), a conceptual analysis of craving in substance addiction was conducted in this study by interpreting and defining the characteristics, pre-factors, consequences, and effects of craving in substance addiction using examples of typical, borderline, related, and contrary cases. The findings are intended to help nurses gain a more comprehensive understanding of craving in substance addiction and become more familiar with cases requiring clinical care.
