Alcohol misuse is the third leading cause of ill health in the UK. Alcohol brief intervention can identify risky drinkers and motivate individuals to take action. Community pharmacists have been identified as having a role in providing brief interventions. This study aimed to evaluate: pharmacists' attitudes towards hazardous/harmful drinkers and knowledge before training and after delivering brief intervention; and their experience of training.
Pharmacists' attitudes to alcohol problems were assessed using Short Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Perception Questions before training and after brief intervention delivery. Alcohol misuse knowledge was assessed by questionnaire prior to and immediately after training, and after the delivery period. Following brief intervention delivery, pharmacists' experience of training was obtained using a questionnaire and focus groups. Qualitative thematic analysis identified experiences of brief intervention training. Quantitative data were analysed using spss.
One hundred and thirty-nine alcohol interventions were delivered by 19 pharmacists over five months (recruiters). Ten pharmacists completed no interventions (non-recruiters). Both groups improved their alcohol knowledge between baseline and immediately following training; and their knowledge decreased between the end of training and following service delivery. Pharmacists who were initially more motivated recruited more participants and increased their work satisfaction.
This confirmed findings of previous studies that pharmacists unfamiliar with brief intervention could be trained to deliver this service. Pharmacists with positive attitude towards drinkers delivered a greater number of alcohol interventions and experienced increased work satisfaction than those pharmacists with less positive attitudes.
在英国，酗酒是导致健康不良的第三大主要原因。酒精简要干预可以识别风险饮酒者，并促使个人采取行动。社区药剂师已被确定在提供简短干预方面发挥作用。本研究旨在评估：培训前后药剂师对危险/有害饮酒者的态度和知识；以及他们的培训经验。
在培训前和简短干预后，使用短酒精和酒精问题感知问题评估药剂师对酒精问题的态度。在培训前和培训后立即以及在交付期后，通过问卷评估酒精滥用知识。在简短干预后，使用问卷和焦点小组获取药剂师的培训经验。定性主题分析确定了简短干预培训的经验。使用 spss 分析定量数据。
在五个月（招聘人员）的时间里，19 名药剂师共进行了 139 次酒精干预。10 名药剂师未进行任何干预（非招聘人员）。两组在基线和培训后立即都提高了他们的酒精知识；并且他们的知识在培训结束和服务交付后下降。最初更有动力的药剂师招募了更多的参与者，并增加了工作满意度。
这证实了之前研究的发现，即不熟悉简短干预的药剂师可以接受培训以提供这项服务。与态度不太积极的药剂师相比，对饮酒者持积极态度的药剂师提供了更多的酒精干预，并体验到了更高的工作满意度。
