The aims of this study were to explore: (1) the prevalence and predictors for hazardous alcohol-drinking problems; and (2) previous assessments and interventions for alcohol-drinking problems in hospitalized Chinese patients.
Alcohol is legally accessible and widely used in Taiwan, but few studies have addressed alcohol-drinking problems in hospital settings.
A cross-sectional design was used.
Self-report data were collected in 2009 from 484 patients at five randomly selected general teaching hospitals.
The prevalence of hazardous alcohol-drinking problems was 19·2%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that predictors for hazardous drinking problems were being male, smoking, and chewing betel quid. Only 29·1% of participants had been assessed for drinking problems in the past year. Only 38·7% of participants with drinking problems had received a drinking intervention in the past year.
These findings suggest that alcohol problems in Taiwanese general teaching hospitals are insufficiently assessed and targeted with interventions. Targeting high-risk groups in general teaching hospitals is important to prevent patients' drinking problems.
本研究旨在探讨：(1) 危险饮酒问题的流行情况及其预测因素；(2) 住院中国患者饮酒问题的既往评估和干预措施。
酒精在台湾是合法可获得且广泛使用的，但很少有研究涉及医院环境中的饮酒问题。
采用横断面设计。
2009 年，从五所随机选定的综合教学医院的 484 名患者中收集了自我报告数据。
危险饮酒问题的患病率为 19.2%。逻辑回归分析显示，危险饮酒的预测因素为男性、吸烟和咀嚼槟榔。过去一年中，仅有 29.1%的参与者接受过饮酒问题评估。过去一年中，仅有 38.7%有饮酒问题的参与者接受过饮酒干预。
这些发现表明，台湾综合教学医院的酒精问题评估和干预不足。在综合教学医院中针对高危人群进行干预对于预防患者的饮酒问题非常重要。
