To investigate the correspondence between readiness for behaviour change in general and readiness for alcohol related help-seeking in particular. A related aim was to examine how, if at all, measures of dependence severity, use, and consequences were related to a composite measure depicting agreements and disagreements between general change readiness and help-seeking readiness.
Non-treatment seeking alcohol-dependent patients, numbering 549, from general hospitals in Germany were interviewed.
When taking into account both dimensions of motivation, findings indicate 42% of the subjects were characterized by different motivation levels regarding readiness for change and readiness for help-seeking. Higher help-seeking readiness was associated with higher alcohol problem severity. Readiness to change was not affected by alcohol problem severity.
Findings underscore the need to evaluate both motivational constructs in determining clients' need and receptivity to formal help.
调查一般行为改变准备度与酒精相关求助准备度之间的对应关系。一个相关目的是研究依赖严重程度、使用情况和后果的测量指标如何(如果存在关联的话)与一个综合测量指标相关,该综合测量指标描述了一般改变准备度和求助准备度之间的一致与不一致情况。
对来自德国综合医院的549名未寻求治疗的酒精依赖患者进行了访谈。
考虑到动机的两个维度,研究结果表明,42%的受试者在改变准备度和求助准备度方面具有不同的动机水平。较高的求助准备度与较高的酒精问题严重程度相关。改变准备度不受酒精问题严重程度的影响。
研究结果强调在确定客户对正式帮助的需求和接受度时,需要评估这两种动机结构。
