Annual increases in indices which reflect the extent of alcohol and drug abuse in society result in a considerable cost to industry. Nurses as a professional group have not generally been identified as having a significantly high incidence of staff with problems of alcohol or drug abuse, although there is some evidence that they are more likely than other workers to attend treatment agencies. The role of nurse management in the early recognition and handling of problems can be vital and training material has been developed to encourage appropriate involvement. A brief description and preliminary evaluation of management training is given. Guidelines and policies which clarify the roles of management, trade unions, occupational health and specialist treatment agencies should facilitate the rehabilitation of the nurse with a drink or drug problem and, in doing so, have potential economic as well as personal benefit to the parties involved.
反映社会中酒精和药物滥用程度的指数逐年上升，给行业带来了相当大的成本。护士作为一个职业群体，总体上并未被认定为存在酒精或药物滥用问题的员工比例显著偏高，尽管有一些证据表明，与其他工作人员相比，他们更有可能前往治疗机构接受治疗。护士管理人员在早期识别和处理这些问题方面的作用至关重要，现已开发出培训材料以鼓励其适当参与。本文对管理培训进行了简要描述和初步评估。明确管理人员、工会、职业健康部门和专业治疗机构各自作用的指导方针和政策，应有助于有饮酒或药物问题的护士康复，这样做对相关各方既有潜在的经济利益，也有个人益处。
