A survey of 445 doctors in Yorkshire was conducted to ascertain their knowledge and awareness of alcohol units. Only 58% had some knowledge, and general practitioners scored better (69%) than hospital doctors (45%). However, 14% of doctors had no knowledge at all about alcohol units. Those who did not drink alcohol knew less than those who did and trainee doctors had significantly less knowledge than more senior physicians. Junior doctors who often deal with alcohol-related problems in their day-to-day hospital work had a poor knowledge. There needs to be a greater emphasis on alcohol and alcohol-related problems (including how to calculate alcohol units) in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula to improve doctors' knowledge and awareness of this important subject.
对约克郡的 445 名医生进行了一项调查,以了解他们对酒精单位的知识和认识。只有 58%的人有一定的了解,全科医生(69%)的得分优于医院医生(45%)。然而,仍有 14%的医生对此一无所知。不饮酒的医生比饮酒的医生知道的少,实习医生的知识明显少于资深医生。那些在日常医院工作中经常处理与酒精相关问题的初级医生知识水平较差。需要在本科和研究生课程中更加重视酒精和与酒精相关的问题(包括如何计算酒精单位),以提高医生对这一重要主题的知识和认识。
