Many studies measure the occupational outcome of alcoholism treatment utilizing reports from the patient and not from the employer. In an attempt to obtain an objective measure of occupational outcome, the authors used both supervisors' evaluations and clinical reports from aftercare personnel to observe 722 patients who completed a 6-week military inpatient alcoholism treatment program. Patients were observed for up to 2 years to determine prognostic indicators for post-rehabilitation personal and occupational success. Continuous abstinence from alcohol was seen in 77% of the study group, whereas satisfactory posttreatment occupational performance was observed in 90% throughout the study period. Military rank, successful inpatient program completion, and aftercare program adherence were good predictors of long-term outcome, whereas extent of prior treatment for substance abuse and Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test scores were not.
许多研究在衡量酒精成瘾治疗的职业成效时,采用的是患者而非雇主的报告。为了获得职业成效的客观衡量标准,作者利用主管评估和后续护理人员的临床报告,对722名完成了为期6周军队住院酒精成瘾治疗项目的患者进行了观察。对患者进行了长达2年的观察,以确定康复后个人和职业成功的预后指标。研究组中77%的人持续戒酒,而在整个研究期间,90%的人治疗后的职业表现令人满意。军衔、成功完成住院项目以及坚持后续护理项目是长期成效的良好预测指标,而药物滥用的既往治疗程度和密歇根酒精成瘾筛查测试分数则不是。
