Alcohol consumption is common among individuals coinfected with HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) despite the uniquely harmful effects in this population. Limited research has examined factors that could influence drinking reduction or cessation among HIV/HCV coinfected persons; this study investigates motivation to quit. Participants were 110 alcohol-consuming HIV/HCV coinfected patients recruited from medical clinics. Participants self-reported 90-day drinking frequency and intensity; alcohol-related problems; reasons to quit drinking; reasons to drink; and motivation to quit drinking. Participants consumed alcohol on 54.1 (± 26.9) of the past 90 days. In a multivariate model that controlled for demographic variables, motivation to quit drinking was directly associated with alcohol-related problems (β = 0.35, p = .007) and reasons to quit drinking (β = 0.23, p = .021), and inversely associated with drinking for enhancement (β = - 0.36, p = .004). This study identified several factors associated with motivation to quit drinking in a sample of alcohol-consuming HIV/HCV patients.
尽管在这一人群中具有独特的有害影响，但同时感染艾滋病毒和丙型肝炎 (HCV) 的个体饮酒现象很普遍。尽管已经进行了有限的研究来探讨可能影响 HIV/HCV 合并感染人群减少或停止饮酒的因素，但本研究仍着眼于戒酒动机。参与者是从医疗诊所招募的 110 名饮酒的 HIV/HCV 合并感染患者。参与者自我报告了过去 90 天的饮酒频率和强度；与饮酒相关的问题；戒酒的原因；饮酒的原因；以及戒酒的动机。参与者在过去 90 天中有 54.1（±26.9）天饮酒。在一个控制人口统计学变量的多变量模型中，戒酒动机与与饮酒相关的问题（β=0.35，p=0.007）和戒酒原因（β=0.23，p=0.021）直接相关，与为提高情绪而饮酒（β=−0.36，p=0.004）呈负相关。本研究在一组饮酒的 HIV/HCV 患者中确定了与戒酒动机相关的几个因素。
