The study investigated the attitudes and perceptions of health professionals toward four substance use disorders and toward substance abusers. An attitude measurement questionnaire and a semantic differential scale were administered to measure nurses' attitudes toward alcohol, nicotine, soft-drug, and hard-drug substance use disorders; and toward individuals' dependence upon the four substances. Statistical analysis revealed that while positive attitudes were indicated toward the disorders, negative perceptions were displayed toward certain substance abusers. The findings are discussed in terms of treatment implications, and the need for attitudinal education in the training and selection of health professionals for work with substance abusers is emphasized.
该研究调查了卫生专业人员对四种物质使用障碍以及对药物滥用者的态度和看法。采用一份态度测量问卷和一个语义差异量表来测量护士对酒精、尼古丁、软性毒品和硬性毒品物质使用障碍的态度，以及对个人对这四种物质的依赖情况的态度。统计分析表明，虽然对这些障碍表现出积极态度，但对某些药物滥用者则表现出负面看法。从治疗意义的角度对研究结果进行了讨论，并强调了在培训和选拔与药物滥用者打交道的卫生专业人员时进行态度教育的必要性。
