Staff attitudes are an important factor in the successful implementation of systematic alcohol strategies and policies. The forms and extent of training needed to improve therapeutic attitude among psychiatric staff to problem drinking are unclear. The aim of the investigation was to study the knowledge and attitudes of psychiatric staff toward problem-drinking patients. A further aim was to investigate whether a short 3 h training is sufficient to improve knowledge and therapeutic attitude toward problem drinking.
A tailored training model for psychiatric staff (non-physicians) was carried out at a medium size university clinic. Participants were medical (nurses and psychiatric aides) and non-medical staff (psychologists and social workers). The training consisted of a 2 h workshop and a 1 h follow-up session. Knowledge and attitudes were measured at baseline and follow up by a questionnaire including vignettes assessment and the Short Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Perception Questionnaire.
In total, 115 persons completed the questionnaire (follow-up rate 83.5%). The distribution was even (50% for the medical and 50% for the non-medical staff). After training, the non-medical staff estimated vignette case severity higher than before. Both staff groups estimated their capacity to help a patient with complex problems higher after training. Role adequacy was higher in both subgroups after training. Medical staff scored work satisfaction higher after the training.
Three hours of tailored training for psychiatric staff improve their knowledge and therapeutic attitude to problem-drinking patients.
员工态度是成功实施系统酒精策略和政策的一个重要因素。改善精神科工作人员对酗酒问题的治疗态度所需的培训形式和程度尚不清楚。本研究旨在调查精神科工作人员对酗酒问题患者的知识和态度。进一步的目的是研究是否 3 小时的短期培训足以提高对酗酒问题的知识和治疗态度。
在一所中等规模的大学诊所为精神科工作人员（非医生）实施了定制的培训模式。参与者包括医务人员（护士和精神科助理）和非医务人员（心理学家和社会工作者）。培训包括 2 小时的讲习班和 1 小时的后续会议。通过问卷调查包括案例评估和短期酒精和酒精问题认知问卷来测量知识和态度。
共有 115 人完成了问卷调查（随访率 83.5%）。分布均匀（医务人员和非医务人员各占 50%）。培训后，非医务人员比培训前估计案例严重程度更高。两个工作人员小组在培训后都认为自己有能力帮助有复杂问题的患者。培训后，两个亚组的角色适当性都更高。培训后，医务人员的工作满意度更高。
针对精神科工作人员的 3 小时定制培训可以提高他们对酗酒问题患者的知识和治疗态度。
