About this study
Official title: Feasibility of an Art-based Intervention to Address Clinician Stigma and Improve Care for Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and limited effectiveness of a digital, arts-based educational intervention addressing nurse stigma towards perinatal substance use. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the the feasibility of delivering the training through an asynchronous, web-based platform?
- What is the limited effectiveness of the program on nurse stigma towards perinatal substance use?
Read more
Participants will access and complete the training, including completion of a perinatal substance use stigma scale at baseline, immediately post, and 1-2 months month later. Participants will also be invited to participate in an interview.
Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if the training reduces nurse stigma towards perinatal substance use.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ArtSpectiveOther
ArtSpective is an interactive, educational program that uses art and museum-based pedagogy. The intervention is delivered asynchronously using a web-based platform. Participants engage with artwork, watch short educational videos, and read short clinical vignettes. After completing the program, participants receive a certificate of completion.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Site 1 | Experimental | Participants from the hospital randomized to the experimental group will be first to receive an invitation to complete the web-based educational program. The program will be open for one month. Thirty days after a participant completes the program, they will be sent a link to a follow up survey (web-based). At 60 days, participants who completed the program and the first follow up survey will be randomized to complete a second follow up survey or participate in a 1:1 interview. Receives: Other: ArtSpective |
| Site 2 | Other | Participants from the hospital randomized to the control setting will receive an invitation to complete a survey that collects baseline data for the outcome (stigma toward perinatal substance use) and demographic information. After thirty days, participants will be invited to complete the web-based educational program. Thirty days after completion, they will receive a link to a web-based follow up survey. Receives: Other: ArtSpective |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Nurse Stigma Toward Perinatal Substance Use
Negative or stigmatizing attitudes and/or beliefs registered nurses have towards perinatal substance use; measured using the Modified Attitudes About Drug Use in Pregnancy Scale. Total scores range between 1 and 5, with scores closer to 1 associated with a more positive outcome.
Measured: Baseline (Phase 1a); immediately post intervention (Site 1) or 7-30 days post baseline (Site 2) (Phase 1b); immediately post (Site 2) or 30 days post intervention (Site 1) (Phase 2); 30 days post (Site 2) or 60 days post intervention (Site 1) (Phase 3)
Secondary outcomes (1)
Acceptability
The level of satisfaction participants have towards the intervention; measured using an adapted version of the Abbreviated Acceptability Rating Profile. Total scores range from 1 to 5 with scores closer to 5 representing a more positive outcome.
Measured: immediately post intervention (Site 1= Phase 1b; Site 2 = Phase 2)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

- What is the the feasibility of delivering the training through an asynchronous, web-based platform?
- What is the limited effectiveness of the program on nurse stigma towards perinatal substance use?
Participants will access and complete the training, including completion of a perinatal substance use stigma scale at baseline, immediately post, and 1-2 months month later. Participants will also be invited to participate in an interview.
Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if the training reduces nurse stigma towards perinatal substance use.
