Nurses have the most contact with patients in the clinical settings, and they play an important role in the guidance and education of patients. Nurses' basic knowledge of alcohol-related problems greatly influences early discovery of and early intervention against alcohol-related problems in general units (GU). In a study undertaken mainly to understand the status of nurses' knowledge in GU, a survey was performed to compare the knowledge and attitude of nurses working in GU and those with working in units specializing in the treatment of alcoholism (AU). For reference, we used the results of separate surveys performed previously on the general population. The results showed that, compared with nurses in AU, nurses in GU (1) were more tolerant of drinking, but (2) were more stigmatic concerning alcoholism, and (3) had little knowledge concerning alcohol-related problems. Nurses in GU tended to have less knowledge about alcohol-related problems than the general population. Moreover, the knowledge of nurses in AU could not be considered sufficient. This study suggested the need for basic education concerning alcohol-related problems and their treatment aimed at nurses.
护士在临床环境中与患者接触最为频繁，并且在对患者的指导和教育方面发挥着重要作用。护士对酒精相关问题的基本知识在普通科室（GU）中对酒精相关问题的早期发现和早期干预有很大影响。在一项主要旨在了解普通科室护士知识状况的研究中，进行了一项调查，以比较在普通科室工作的护士与在专门治疗酒精中毒科室（AU）工作的护士的知识和态度。作为参考我们使用了之前对普通人群进行的单独调查结果。结果显示，与酒精中毒治疗科室的护士相比，普通科室的护士（1）对饮酒更为宽容，但（2）对酒精中毒更具污名化态度，且（3）对酒精相关问题了解甚少。普通科室的护士对酒精相关问题的了解往往比普通人群更少。此外，酒精中毒治疗科室护士的知识也不能被认为是足够的。这项研究表明需要针对护士开展关于酒精相关问题及其治疗的基础教育。
