BACKGROUND
This study explored the life concerns of persons seeking alcohol detoxification, a group with multiple life and psychosocial challenges. Gender may be an important contributor to the particular life concerns of persons with alcohol use disorders.
METHODS
Using a 32-item, previously-validated life concerns survey that captures ten conceptual domains, we interviewed persons entering inpatient alcohol detoxification asking them to rate their level of concern about health and welfare items.
RESULTS
Participants (n=189) were 27% female, with a mean age of 43.5 years. Overall, concern about alcohol problems was perceived as the most serious, followed by mental health, cigarette smoking, financial, and relationship problems. Men were significantly more concerned than women about six of the ten domains including money, drug use, transmissible diseases, and physical illness.
CONCLUSIONS
Recognition of the daily worries of persons seeking inpatient alcohol detoxification persons could allow providers to better tailor their services to the context of their patients' lives. Focusing on pressing life concerns such as mental health, financial, relationship problems, and other drug use may influence detoxification services and aftercare treatment choices.
背景
本研究探讨了寻求酒精解毒治疗者的生活关注点，这是一个面临多种生活和心理社会挑战的群体。性别可能是导致酒精使用障碍者特定生活关注点的一个重要因素。
方法
我们使用一份经过先前验证的包含32个条目的生活关注点调查问卷，该问卷涵盖十个概念领域，对进入住院酒精解毒治疗的患者进行访谈，要求他们对自身对健康和福利项目的关注程度进行评分。
结果
参与者（n = 189）中女性占27%，平均年龄为43.5岁。总体而言，对酒精问题的关注被认为是最严重的，其次是心理健康、吸烟、财务和人际关系问题。在十个领域中的六个领域，男性比女性更关注，包括金钱、药物使用、传染病和身体疾病。
结论
认识到寻求住院酒精解毒治疗者的日常担忧，可为医疗服务提供者更好地根据患者生活背景调整服务提供帮助。关注诸如心理健康、财务、人际关系问题和其他药物使用等紧迫的生活关注点，可能会影响解毒治疗服务和后续护理治疗选择。
