Clinical nurses tend to involve the family members of patients with AUD in the "nursing process to improve the outcome of AUD care and to extend the nursing boundary into family care. Head nurses encourage staff nurses to develop anger management programs for patients’ family mem- bers and supervise them regularly to ensure that competent care is provided. On the academic side, nursing faculties need to become familiar with anger management and allow students to learn about and practice anger management, including expressing, ventilating, and coping with anger in appropriate ways by using cognitive—behavioral therapy. Finally, nursing researchers should con- tinually validate the efi‘ects and efficacy of the programs through retesting and develop increas- ingly more sophisticated anger management pro- grams forpatients and their family members.
