Three impaired health care provider groups (N = 84) (nurses, pharmacists, and providers with prescriptive authority) referred for a substance abuse evaluation at an outpatient-based program were compared on demographic and family factors, substance abuse patterns, and psychiatric symptomology as assessed by the Personality Assessment Inventory. Nurses had the highest rates of family history of addiction, problems with benzodiazepines, and psychiatric comorbidity. Overall, health care professionals endorsed opioids twice as often as alcohol as a preferred substance. Family history of addiction, sex, and psychiatric comorbidity emerged as salient factors among these health care professionals. Clinical implications are examined in light of the current findings.
三组健康护理提供者（N=84）（护士、药剂师和有处方权的提供者）因药物滥用问题在门诊项目中接受评估，对他们的人口统计学和家庭因素、药物滥用模式以及人格评估量表（Personality Assessment Inventory）评估的精神症状进行了比较。护士的家族药物滥用史、苯二氮䓬类药物问题和精神共病的发生率最高。总的来说，健康护理专业人员表示更喜欢使用阿片类药物，而非酒精。家族药物滥用史、性别和精神共病是这些健康护理专业人员中的重要因素。根据当前的发现，探讨了临床意义。
