Knowing professionals' attitudes is the basis for the development of skills for dealing with drug dependence. These attitudes may affect patients' clinical safety and the cost-benefit ratio of the interventions. The goal of this study was to assess emergency and mental health nurses' attitudes and perceptions towards alcoholics. A multicenter prospective descriptive study was conducted in six hospitals with 167 emergency and mental health nurses. Nurses classified alcoholics as sick individuals, although there was a tendency to feel uncomfortable working with them. Results indicated that these professionals had a rejecting attitude towards moderate alcohol consumption. It found that there was a significant association between the attitude of the nurse and gender, with the degree of rejection towards the alcoholic being higher in men than in women, and with less punitive attitudes in professionals with 0 to 11 years of professional experience.
了解专业人员的态度是制定处理药物依赖技能的基础。这些态度可能会影响患者的临床安全性和干预措施的成本效益比。本研究的目的是评估急诊和心理健康护士对酗酒者的态度和看法。在六家医院进行了一项多中心前瞻性描述性研究，共有 167 名急诊和心理健康护士参与。护士将酗酒者归类为病人，但与他们一起工作时往往会感到不舒服。结果表明，这些专业人员对适度饮酒持排斥态度。研究还发现，护士的态度与性别之间存在显著关联，男性对酗酒者的排斥程度高于女性，而在专业经验为 0 至 11 年的专业人员中，对酗酒者的态度则不那么严厉。
