Abstract
Nurses working in rural acute and community-based settings are often asked for substance use treatment guidance and education in a health care system with minimal treatment services available. Nursing science provides an alternative answer for nurses to lean on in their clinical practice when working with rural-dwelling youth in the midst of substance misuse. Practical strategies are offered, which nurses may integrate into their routine clinical care to strengthen the nurse–patient relationship and enhance positive attributes among youth. Connective caring practice is essential to support rural youth well-being and recovery in the midst of substance misuse. [
