We studied the extent of alcoholism among faculty and house staff of an urban, university-based teaching hospital. Of 569 questionnaires sent, 282 (50%) were returned and 271 of these were complete enough to be interpretable. Of those responding, 12 (4%) were classified as alcoholic and 26 (10%) as possibly alcoholic. There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of alcoholism in physicians from the different medical specialties or in regard to gender. Nevertheless, with 14% of the respondents to our questionnaire being classified as either alcoholics or possible alcoholics, it appears that this is a pervasive problem in our profession that deserves further study.
我们研究了一家位于城市、以大学为基础的教学医院的教职员工和住院医生中的酗酒程度。在发放的569份问卷中,回收了282份(50%),其中271份完整到足以进行解读。在这些回复者中,12人(4%)被归类为酗酒者,26人(10%)被归类为可能酗酒者。不同医学专业的医生或不同性别的医生在酗酒患病率上没有统计学上的显著差异。然而,我们问卷的回复者中有14%被归类为酗酒者或可能酗酒者,看来这是我们这个职业中一个普遍存在的问题,值得进一步研究。
