Poster Abstract

The opioid epidemic poses substantial risk to society. Providers must ensure that their patients understand the uses and risks of both opioids and naloxone. One way to analyze this concept is via metacognition. This refers to a person’s knowledge about cognitive phenomena, and thus it regulates self-awareness abilities in decision making, such as planning and evaluating. It is not only important for providers to have knowledge on best practices, but also to have self-awareness, and confidence in their decision making to ensure optimal patient outcomes. True-false confidence weighted scoring can be utilized, whereby various levels of confidence are assessed from “I am confident this is true,” to “I think, but am unsure, if this is true,” and similarly for false answers. This study analyzed the efficacy of an online training module, “Implementing Best Practices for Co-Prescribing Naloxone in Your Agency” and used a metacognitive analysis approach to determine efficacy. The training module, pre- and post-tests were administered at Inspira Health Network on 9/12/22 and 9/13/22. This analysis finds a significant improvement in pre- and post-intervention scores, as well as significant improvement in provider confidence in their answer choices. Such an analysis provides insight not only to efficacy of an intervention, but also the likelihood of confidence, and continued use of the intervention.
